What? A person's worldview is a bigger predictor than an arbitrary grouping based on physical characteristics?

It would seem that how much you hate an arbitrary group based on physical characteristics is more important.

There's weirdly a lot of sexism involved in people guessing why women vote Republican...

They just can't grasp that sometimes an asshole is also a woman.

I don't understand how why anyone would willingly identify as a Republican, because they're imo just as bad as Nazis, just without the power to carryout a genocide. What is truly amazing is any minority or woman would do so. Like like a black person going to a KKK rally in support of their views. It's truly leopards and faces.

It's not the asshole part, of course there are assholes across genders and generations. It's the voting against your own interests part.

Fake shirt size! Obviously his orangeness likes the shorter statured "women" for his parties.

How would this explain Alice Weidel being Germany's far-right AfD's candidate for chancellor in 2025?
