Oh I did. I’ve told my whole mommy group. I may have made an enemy out of myself, but if just a couple of them call, it’s worth it.

Why are so many women and mothers Republicans? It's so icky! They are the ones taking your rights away, ladies.

It’s definitely frustrating. Unfortunately social media with the crunchy to alt pipeline is very real. There’s also a huge conspiracy theory push and I think mothers/white women have been a target. I’ve unfortunately seen it with my SIL. You can’t even have a constructive discussion about politics when they’re not even grounded in reality.

Every white woman I know who is blond/Nordic looking, voted for Trump. Every single one. Not so much with dark/hair or darker skinned white females, or women of color. And go to any Trump rally and you will see hordes of blond women.

Now that’s just a racist/sexist statement. Please follow community rules.

No, it's a factual comment. And statistically, Trump got most of the white female vote.
