For the first time since the 114th Republican-led Congress, it appears that there won't be any women leading House committees, Bloomberg Government reported. Republicans have already named who they intend to take over each committee, but it won't be official until all members are sworn in on Jan. 3....
"Why are you acting like the lying liberals say you act!? I don't believe you act the way you really do because they say you do! Stop being you, you're making the liberals look correct!"
They know that, according to GOP’s leadership, they’re not even supposed to hold office? They’re supposed to be in the kitchen making sandwiches. Also popping out babies.
44% of women aged 18-44 and 48% of women over 45 voted for a rapist to lead them. (AP Data) Like what do these voters and female Republican politicians expect at this point? DE&I is "woke" according to them, but did they also know that listening to women is "woke" to Republicans too?
If you sort the data by "women by race" you get a better picture. 53% of white women voted for trump, which made up for the only 10% of black women who voted for him, and 39% of latina women.
Not that it takes away from what you're saying, i just think white women in particular really screwed themselves over here
“We’ve never been the party that was about checking boxes or identity politics, but the difference is we have women that are qualified to be chairs, and I don’t know why there wasn’t one who was able to become a chairperson of a committee," she added.
Translation: “I never cared that my party discriminated against other people, but now they’re doing it to meeeeee!”
I know that hypocrisy is their whole thing, but it's still hard to wrap my mind around a Republican genuinely believing that they're not about identity politics, as if that isn't what their entire platform is based on.
Republicans have always been fans of turning real things into incorrectly used buzz words. “Identity politics” means “changing the status quo to include others,” and so only applies to Democrats. “Catering exclusively to bigoted white Christian nationalists who openly want to establish a theocracy” doesn’t count by that metric.
