    Pulling the lever for Trump is like hitting yourself in the balls with a sledgehammer.

    Got this in the mail today:

    And while some may claim that “both sides are doing this”, the message coming from Democrats versus Republicans shows a stark difference. One is a political violence threat, the other is a reassurance that abusive husbands like Jesse Watters won’t know who you actually voted for.

      There is a lot of that shit this year. How do I make it so the assholes sending this cannot contact me ever again? I am sick of this.

      I’m honestly surprised Republicans are doing this unless it’s extremely targeted.

      Increasing voter turnout generally works against them.

          That’s the return address. They mailed it to someone in Orlando, which is a bluer area of the state.

          (Although Tallahassee is actually a more blue area as well.)

      Yeah. I did about fifty hand written postcards to people in a battleground state with that “who you voted for is secret” message. I didn’t add a binoculars drawing to it.

    The conjecture is that women of a certain age are voting Harris, because they remember what happened before Roe. Doofus thinks that’s unfair.

      Wouldn’t be the first time

      At the close of the segment, Watters offered his own humorous take, speaking about his wife Emma DiGiovine, a relationship which he admitted in 2018 began as an affair while he was married to his first wife Noelle Inguagiato and DiGiovine was a producer on his show. The affair prompted Inguagiato to file for divorce.

        “It’s not the party of virtue, security — it’s not the party of strength — it’s definitely not the party of family. And to be a man and then vote for a woman just because she’s a woman is either childish — that person has mommy issues — or they are just trying to be accepted by other women,” Watters said. “I heard the scientists say the other day that when a man votes for a woman, he actually transitions into a woman.”

        To their credit, Watters’ three female co-hosts on The Five made their displeasure with his statements known, only to be shut down by former wrestler and alleged sexual harasser Tyrus.

        “He quoted a scientist,” Tyrus interjected.

        I know we’re not supposed to patronize or insult the poor fascists, but good lord the right wing is stupid.

    Watters’ claim that if his wife were to secretly vote for Democratic nominee Kamala Harris he would see it as “the same thing as having an affair.”

    How does this guy’s brain work? This doesn’t even make sense.

      His brain works like this: I want XYZ thing, you belong to me so if you choose abc thing then you’re violating our relationship where I control you.

    Having an affair with a nice stable person is fine if your husband is an abusive piece of shit that is destroying your family and home.
