We know there are many political surveys and polls out there but this one, based on the whims of two people who shall remain nameless, is unfiltered, funny, and fire! Sort of like overhearing a conversation between two friends in a bar or on a train, and you want to interrupt.
—Various and Sundry
Donald Trump’s Stump in Albuquerque had Various and Sundry primed for a kiki session. Let’s listen in:
Various: Can you IMAGINE if Harris or Obama ever said something like this: "Courting offended voters, he said: "Don't make me waste a whole damn half a day here, OK? Look, I came here. We can be nice to each other, or we can talk turkey. I'm here for one simple reason: I like you very much, and it's good for my credentials with the Hispanic or Latino community." That outreach might not be enough to bring back the voters lost after the Madison Square Garden event.
Sundry: No. The garbage truck video. What a concept.
Various: It's like they're TRYING to lose support. Even wearing that vest to the rally--the new makeup? Did you read Heather Cox this morning?
Sundry: No I didn't read her yet.
Various: Trump is delivering the garbage to the dumpster fire. Metaphor comes alive. Read her, then we can talk. Also, I think in their fucked up way they think the garbage truck is clever. Like he's 'owning' the Puerto Rico comment. Meanwhile, I'd bet most Latinos see it as doubling down.
Sundry: Oh for sure it did not go down like they thought. I don't have Heather somehow. The 31st?
Various: Yes. Just forwarded.
Sundry: Oh that one. I have it.
Various: Tonight, at an event with right-wing host Tucker Carlson in Glendale, Arizona, Trump seemed to move beyond misogyny to murderous intent. He turned his increasingly violent rhetoric against former representative Liz Cheney (R-WY), who has urged Republican women to vote against Trump. "She's a radical war hawk," he said. "Let's put her with a rifle standing there with nine barrels shooting at her, OK? Let's see how she feels about it, you know, when the guns on trained on her face." War on women.
Sundry: I'm telling you women are gonna save this country. And the world. He is also seemingly nervous about the women in Pennsylvania.
Various: You know, I hate the show, but Bad Sisters is what we need right now--and maybe what is happening.
Sundry: I never watched it. What about it?
Various: A solidarity of women who eliminate the abuser.
Sundry: Oh yes! Let's get rid of him in ballot boxes. All of the GOP.
Various: It could literally be seen as feminist solidarity against an enabling male power structure. Well, there's a direct line from 'grab them by the pussy' to 'whether they want me or not. Through E. Jean Carroll. 'Horseface, she's not my type.' And now literally saying Liz Cheney should be put in front of a vigilante firing squad?????
Jesse Walters claiming not aligning your vote with your husband is 'the same as having an affair.' I mean, this is a Taliban-level view of women.
Sundry: They are literally trying to take us back a century. It is! They ARE the Taliban.
Various: Well, they HAVE if women are dying from miscarriages. Christian pastor Dale Partridge posting voting Democrat against your husband 'is a sin'--why should his church have tax exemption? It violates the separation clause.
And VD Chance saying the vote should be limited to women who have given birth. This is a full-on War on Women--literally taking away their right to vote. No wonder Charlie Kirk is an incel. Trump is literally driving the Trash to the dumpster fire. 'Throw in your constitutions! You won't need them anymore.'
Sundry: What about the other asshole who is always eating. He said it's a male-in vote.
Various: Wait who? This election is like 'Women Talking'--they're all vaguely recalling through a drug-induced coma the abuse. We need more LeBron and less Mike Johnson.
Sundry: The project 2025 guy? John something...in every video he is eating.
Various: 'The man of God' who literally got caught lying on tape about Obamacare. John Mentee?McEntee? Something like that? The guy who started the Saga Dating app.
Sundry: YES, that monster. Yes, the one that only guys are on.
Various: Grinder for the closeted. Always eating ALONE on Instagram. Walter Masterson does hilarious send-ups of him. He's the Smug Yuppie prototype rapist enabler, the type of guy we all knew in college. The 'She didn't actually say no' type. Robert Chambers as a political consultant. Actually...I'm surprised Trump hasn't contacted Robert Chambers. It's totally on-brand. They can all hop in the back of the garbage truck and pick up serial adulterer Newt Gingrich on the way. ......ahem..........
Sundry: Tucker too.
Various: Another incel. Side note: have you seen 'Janet Planet'? Beautiful film with the incredible Julianne Nicholson--and American treasure--about a daughter scrutinizing the choices in men her single mom makes. Really subtle but powerful. I wish the Kamala campaign could simply say 'Women, look at these men. Every single one of them wants to take stuff away from you. Voting rights, bodily autonomy, healthcare, fertility treatments, contraception, the right to make up your own mind about who to vote for, the right to disagree with your husband--even Title IV protections for AFTER you've been assaulted. They praise a rapist and embrace men who tell you your only function is to obey men and be a baby machine. 'When they came for the Childless Cat Ladies, I did nothing because I had a child and didn't have a cat...' Look at the Christianity of lying Mike Johnson, then look at LeBron. Who do you think has the moral character to stand up for you against a bully? I will say I fucking love the Post-Its in women's public restrooms telling women they can vote against their husbands in the voting booth. It's absolute genius. The intimacy of that, the solidarity, the privacy in a public place--incredible. It's like behind enemy lines. Or the French Resistance.
Sundry: If your husband believes you need to vote the way he does, you're married to an asshole.
What I really want to know is: how is everyone planning to ride out election night? With something this huge, there is no one-size-fits-all approach and I am looking for inspiration!
I love this. Especially the post-its. I hope they get through to the women that need them.
