Why Suburban Women Cost the Republicans the House

Did suburban women cost the Republicans the House of Representatives?

Most suburban women can be easily persuaded to vote for Democrats because they do not think seriously. Serious thinking in the political sense is concerned with where we are going as a nation, our moral values, our long-term prosperity, our security, our freedom and its inherent responsibilities. G.K. Chesterton said, “Thinking means connecting things, and stops if they cannot be connected” (Orthodoxy, 1908).

Don’t get me wrong – there are many intelligent, serious conservative women in Fairfax County (not to mention the nation as a whole), but they are sadly in the minority. From my limited and unscientific perspective, the reason most suburban women voted for Democrats can be divided into three categories:

  1. They don’t have to think seriously.
  2. They have never been taught to think seriously.
  3. They really don’t want to think seriously.

They Don’t Have to Think Seriously

Was it suburban women? Or was it voter fraud? In light of recent events in Floriduh and Arizona- how many elections have Republicans legitimately lost?

Maybe the blue states are not as blue as we think?

The author complicated the issue too much. It’s obvious, as to what’s wrong with many suburban women. We’ve all seen the feminist mob against Justice Kavanaugh, many others and ourselves.

Anyone who votes for these Democrats is an enemy of the Republic.

Women are intellectually designed to play with dolls, attract male for sex, deal with 0-16 year old children (emotional creatures) all day, remain supported and protected by whatever means.

Men are intellectually designed to play with sticks, mate with women, hunt and farm and feed the clan, design and build tools and shelters (logic activities), defend and expand.

Giving emotion-based women the vote a hundred years ago is now killing our republic.

In regards to Sinema, the hair is bleached. The surname is Turkish.

The media people like to show only her head or head and shoulders slightly from the side in photos, but this is her build.

And she was reared as a Mormon.

Exactly, it was predictable. Although it could have been worse. The rats could have gotten a lot more than they did.

“”I see no reference to Republican women in the suburbs””

First sentence in the article:

“”Most suburban women can be easily persuaded to vote for Democrats””

And I didn’t see anything that excluded them when the term “most” was used, did you? I’m assuming suburbs aren’t limited to accepting democrats only, are they? I don’t recall anyone asking our political affiliation when we bought our home.

The Republicans need to get their message across better, including the message that they are "different" than the Democrats in a good way.

GOP is unable to produce a coherent message because the party is split between limited government types (conservatives) and big government types (moderates, Bush/Romney wing). The two approaches cannot be reconciled, so there is no ability to get their "message across better". Until limited government types get control of the GOP, there will be no unified message from the party. And of course, there are lots of other problems with the GOP as this post-election fiasco has highlighted.

The writer of this article is correct, though - a majority of suburban women know nothing about anything, and they have an attitude about their ignorance. I suspect it is worse in some parts of the country vs. others - I'm in the northeast, so the suburban women here are ridiculously ignorant.

I don’t have any problem with blacks voting, per se, if that’s what you’re after.
