Ah, yes, the pinnacle of respect: grabbing them by the pussy

Still confused why that fiasco didn't end his political career forever.

[–] [email protected] 42 points 1 year ago

It fucking blows my mind that trump continues to get away with what he has.

[–] [email protected] 34 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Comey came out days later and said Hillary was under Federal investigation while completely omitting that Trump was under federal investigation.

This fully eclipsed the grab them by the pussy tape.

The cultists are mostly bankrupt and don't actually believe in anything they claim to believe in. Same as their christianity.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago

The fact that it didn't is how we all know that his cultists will forgive anything he does. They have zero shame. The election is about appealing to independents and people who aren't paying attention. Nonvoters will decide this stupid election. You can see it in the astroturfing of "both sides are the same" and "our votes don't count anyway" and "if Biden wants my vote then he needs to stop supporting Israel". Trump will objectively be worse for you individually, America, and the world. If you want change, hammer it in the 2028 primaries. It also starts at local levels, so vote now to give chances to people who are trying to get experience to eventually run.

Men who are inferior to their fellow men, are always most anxious to establish their superiority over women. ~Mary Wollstonecraft

Let’s just say his followers are all of a type.

he respects them by the pussy

"Grabbing them by the pussy respectfully"

[–] [email protected] 68 points 1 year ago (1 children)

men who view trump as respectful to women are men women should probably run screaming from.

[–] [email protected] 30 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Yeah, it takes a whole lot of misogyny for a man to look at this dude's actions and statements over decades in the public eye and still arrive at the opinion that Donald fucking Trump respects women.

Even among my red-state god-fearing right-wing family members, I have never heard a single man say anything approaching this. They all know exactly what he is and don't care. He has a very public and lengthy history of the opposite, and the NYT knows it.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (3 children)

Are you disputing the results of the poll? Although I will say that it was a poll of registered voters, which I would expect to skew old, conservative, and white.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago

I believe they said it, I just don't consider them men.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I dispute the result of ALL polls. 😀

[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Would you call yourself a pollar opposite?

This is the question and answer phrasing. Remember, these disingenuous fucks are purposefully trying to manipulate you.

The thing that pushes this "result" over the "majority" line (from this very likely flawed, non representative sample anyways) is the phrasing of "not much" as an answer - which FEELS like a NO answer to many, but is TECHNICALLY read here and tallied as a YES. Cowards.

Remember, polls are archaic, inaccurate and pretty much exclusively made up of a swath of the country, dying in place with otherwise empty lives, that now dedicate themselves to waiting for these calls to give purposefully misleading answers to skew results and provide click bait to unscrupulous reporters like this one. This poll was ONLY telephone based and answers of non-college graduate were weighted heavier than others, per their stated methodology.

Also, what does it say to you about this question THAT IT WAS ONLY ASKED ABOUT TRUMP? This poll is full of directly comparative questions about both Biden and trump, not this one though... weird coincidence I guess?

Register and get out to vote. We helped that criminal, rapist loser lose last time and we'll do it again.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

This is a great comment to contextualize the headline. But the numbers you are showing are for registered voters while the headline specifies men. Were there crosstabs for male respondent results that paint a less reasonable picture? 41% (weighted, as you point out) of all registered voters is already pretty high for the two yes-aligned answers, it wouldn't shock me if the political gender gap pushes those two over 50% when looking specifically at men, as unfortunate of an indicator as that is on the ability of those in my gender to understand what respect for women even looks like

Edit: found it, the crosstabs for men do indeed show 54% at "a lot" + "some". Truly an embarrassing showing

It's also stupid because Trump doesn't really respect anyone regardless of gender. He just regards people as furniture.

Lmao, what crazy people did they survey? I call bullshit.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago

Can't read the article due to a paywall, but in theory, I hard agree. There's no way they found a statistically significant number of humans of any age or gender who think Trump respects women. His confession to rape is literally on Youtube.

Even among Trump supporters, I wouldn't expect "most" to say that, or even think it.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 year ago (5 children)

I'm men. Who are these men?

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (4 children)

The idiots who answer unknown numbers regularly.

I’m starting to think it’s the same 60 idiots in all these polls. Ever wonder if the pollsters are on a first name basis with them by now?

"Most" is doing a lot of heavy lifting there.

I DON'T respect this woman and imagine she doesn't respect herself if she puts her name on an article with that headline

Most of the men who would answer a pollster.

And to the question phrased specifically to begin with, "If today was opposite day...."

Eat shit you disingenuous wastes of humanity.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 year ago

Why on earth is the NYT writing shit articles such as this one? I thought they were one of the last remaining journals with some integrity. They're determined to keep trump relevant and therefore help him win the election. Eh? Well fuck them too then.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 year ago

The NYTimes has sunken to the level of tabloid nonsense over a very short time period

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago

Not any in my circle that’s for sure

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago

Trump respects women as much as I respect that orange piece of shit.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago

Lol that poll base. Such garbage.

50% of divorced men agree

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago

They can make these polls say anything they want. Hey, this time call 60 trumpers and 20 democrats and 20 fence sitters. That should give us the proper ratio for out next click bait headline.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

32% Democratic, 32% Independent!, 26% Republican. 51% of those who voted voted for Biden, 43% are very unfavorable towards Trump, 41% are very unfavorable towards Biden, Trump has a 1% lead if he and Biden were the only candidates and 2% otherwise. 26% only finished High School. That is very interesting.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

So your telling me 54% of men think this and...31% women...what demographic did they pull this poll at a Trump rally? Only believable possible way of getting those numbers.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

Maybe they just got a statement by "Most Men Lawn Service" or something.
