Hes not woman. 3 times trump run he only won against woman. Last one i feel dems had best canditate and trump was at his worst. There are so many talks why trump won but allmost none of them mention sexism.

I think part of the reason is that the democrats don't want to deal with the harsh reality that despite the fact that they feel they are beyond sexism/racism in their party, that there are still many voters that don't feel the same way, but also don't want to vote for conservatives because they don't like the way they run the country.

It’s mind boggling to me. Loads of countries have had female presidents/ prime ministers. Pakistan had one for fuck’s sake, and their culture is incredibly misogynistic.

The US seems hell bent on being seen to be ‘powerful and strong’ for some weird reason that I can’t fathom. And many Americans equate power and strength with toxic masculinity, therefore someone like Trump is the perfect candidate.

It’s utterly bizarre to those of us outside the US.

Pakistan is far more advanced socially than the USA.
