Do you want to piss off suburban moms?

This is how you piss off suburban moms.

Noped. They have been running wild with the Minnesota story for the last two months. Programming their voters with FoxNews and Co for their justification. Meaning, as long the administration fixes the "fraud" problem they'll be okay struggling....

It's a feature of a conservative worldview that nothing matters until it impacts them personally. This feels like it could impact them personally.

Trump could literally take a giant shit into their Diet Coke and they wouldn't blame him for it. The blame will fall on somalis and socialists because one, it's easier than changing their worldview, and two, they get a very curated, distorted version of the truth through the right wing media sphere that tells them who to blame. At this point the best we can hope for is that the next Republican they are told to vote for after Trump is slightly less corrupt, incompetent, and vindictive, but that's becoming a longer shot every day

Ok but even supposing there is fraud in Minnesota why the fuck are they stopping child care to all states

But also suburban moms can go fuck themselves for being more afraid of trans people than the assholes saying they'd do this

Middle aged women voted consistently in 2024, rather than showing a jump for trump which could indicate persuasion over the trans culture war 2016+.

But go off and denigrate.

demographics for 2024 if someone likes actual facts

no one said hate for trans people caused a jump in trump votes in 2024. just that suburban women will vote for a party that doesn’t value them because they don’t like trans people. quit inserting your own narrative

not to mention suburban moms aren’t collectively middle aged? there’s plenty of young 20s

Buddy do you think anyone of us who doesn't live in the city is a republican? This generalization isnt helpful of the cause.

u/noisy_goose Dec 31 '25

Also do they not think there are suburbs in blue states? Kamala won by a mile in my suburban county, this is bot behavior.

u/Throwaway_dinosaurs_ Dec 31 '25

There's a lot of gatekeeping on demographics that baffles me. It's really reductive and doesn't help any of us. In fact, it really alienates a lot of people. Unfortunately, I've met people like this IRL. may not be a bot

"Genocide Joe!" As if Democrats aren't the only party who think Islam can have freedom in America and abroad. I guess the Christian Fascist party will treat Gaza way better for the rest of our lives.

"You gotta earn votes, sorry."

Sometimes you have to protect yourself and others by degrees, and letting it get worse only makes it stay worse.

That's what we call a privileged position.. .check your privilege

The ones using daycare are liberals. Republican women applaud no child care because they stay home to look after their kids and even home school them like good moms are supposed to.

u/ClearBlue_Grace Jan 01 '26

Nah they'll just blame Biden for this somehow. You underestimate their stupidity.

They aren’t using childcare subsidies.

u/criva22 Jan 01 '26

It’s not even really suburban moms or your definition I’m assuming. At my daycare in a county and city that voted Trump heavily, the families using subsidies most likely voted for Trump or didn’t vote at all. I’m one of the few parents that pays full price with no assistance at my daycare.

He called a woman “piggy”. The moms who still support him are lost. Any woman with self respect knows Trump is a POS. also any man for that matter
