Summary

Trend underlines vast gender divide as election approaches, as experts say some women face pressure to ā€˜toe the lineā€™ politically at home.

A TikTok trend of women ā€œcanceling outā€ their partnersā€™ votes highlights a gender divide in the 2024 election, with many young women supporting Kamala Harris while their male partners back Trump. Campaigns encourage women, especially those in conservative households, to vote independently, emphasizing privacy through ads featuring voices like Michelle Obama and Liz Cheney. Conservatives like Charlie Kirk and Jesse Watters criticize these efforts, claiming they undermine family values.

    I donā€™t know them and Iā€™m sure at least of them is a lovely person but I just donā€™t understand how you can be OK with being with someone who gleefully is voting to take your rights away. That just screams either willful ignorance or privilege and I dislike both things.

      Because my momā€™s too nice of a person. Sheā€™s stuck with my dad through his alcoholism, cheating, and moving 7 times because my dad kept losing jobs. Iā€™m not saying my dad is a good person and I generally think heā€™s a piece of shit. But you know what we do at family get togethers? We donā€™t talk about politics because we all know that we donā€™t agree with each other and weā€™d rather have a good time with each other than bitch about everything. Theyā€™re also in their seventies so theyā€™d probably rather enjoy what time they have left with their family.

          Sounds like it could be old school mentality of everything for the family. At that age she might have been propagandized in her youth to suffer for family. Happened a lot back then.
