I seriously (not merely rhetorically) wonder how politically-active reactionary/MAGA women react when they hear this shit? Do they roll their eyes and say “see, I _told_ you I’m not the most reactionary”? Do they agree but think they’re the exception, a Phyllis Schafly for the 21st Century? Do they compartmentalize it into religion: “only men _should_ lead in church, but women can lead elsewhere”? Do they ignore it or claim it’s not real, as with any of Trump’s idiotic remarks? ---

> [@John\_Bredin](#): > > I seriously (not merely rhetorically) wonder how politically-active reactionary/MAGA women react when they hear this shit? I’d love to know that answer. Are they self-hating, and actually agree? Could be. “I defer to my husband. He makes all the decisions. He tells me who to vote for. And he controls the TV remote. It’s best this way.” Or are they just holding two contradictory thoughts in their head at the same time? “Men should be in charge. But they don’t mean to control me.” ---

It’d be almost as stupid to vote for Michele Bachmann for president, who would likely take a subservient role to any male counterpart in the world, as it would be to vote for Ben Carson, whose Seventh-Day Adventist faith informs him that the United States will play a huge role in the coming apocalypse. (He might have very well sped it up by launching some nuclear weapons.) ---
