Republicans have a misogyny problem.
That should have been clear with their adulation of Donald Trump, a man who has been liable for rape. If you were on the fence, then just look at JD Vance, his running mate, who has mocked and ridiculed single women as miserable cat ladies. They’ve also abused their power to overturn Roe v. Wade, and they’ve told us they’re coming after birth control and IVF.
However, if Trump gets in power again it’ll be even worse. Journalist and commentator Molly-Jong Fast, host of Fast Politics, has been doing a fantastic series on YouTube uncovering Project 2025, the MAGA blueprint for a second Trump Administration that is backed by leading think tanks and funders of the conservative movement.
In this episode, I talk to her about how Trump and Republicans have a specific plan to take women’s rights back to the 19th century.
Grab a chai and give us a listen.
Thank you! Sharing, sharing, sharing . . . Also on the phone this a.m. had just mentioned following Kamala Harris’ career, having worked on her very first campaign for AG in CA, with a friend who was right there with me in that work . . .that there was a change of staff in her office after about a year into her election as VP, and that all those administrative issues (which I think may well have been Kamala Harris expecting people to act like adults and they often don’t) getting a change in office staff, and the constant rumors of office drama had completely disappeared. So exciting to hear from Molly that this was in fact true, and I couldn’t agree more, Harris’s speeches, public persona, and conversations are really connecting!!!!!! This white woman is showing up and so excited to be part of the action.
