None of this is my fault... I was trained from an early age to recognize fascism etc. and would never vote for it. I was polled by an R poll on the phone in 2016. She asked me tons of questions, one was- some voters change their mind would you ever vote for the psycho... I said emphatically, I will never vote for that lunatic under any circumstances.

How can you be content that "women held steady" when the opponent was a rapist? PeaceWave Sunday #118

I didn't say I was content. I was responding to your assertion that women, not men, are to blame. Ms. Toad Monday #124

Read my post again. Nowhere did I say that "women, not men, are to blame." PeaceWave Monday #126

What I see is a man trying to shift blame away from himself and onto women Ms. Toad Monday #128

We're at an impasse. You're willing to accept the status quo where "women hold steady." I am not. PeaceWave Monday #129
