       I interviewed former Republican women at an event in Philly. What was striking was how deciding to leave the party often came at a high price. They alienated family, friends, and even often had to leave their church. https://www.salon.com/2024/10/21/i-started-to-learn-what-patriarchy-was-how-donald-pushed-women-out-of-the/

       @AmandaMarcotte They are experiencing what those of us who have opposed trump from the very beginning went through.  I had to get off Facebook because I couldn’t tolerate the hate my friends and family were spewing.  Forty year friendships were destroyed.  ETTD

       Why read past headlines: Probably the most common question I get is "Why do women vote Republican?"Some are just very racist. But in many cases, they are under a level of social pressure to conform that can be hard to imagine. That's what I got from these stories.https://www.salon.com/2024/10/21/i-started-to-learn-what-patriarchy-was-how-donald-pushed-women-out-of-the/

       @DebR @AmandaMarcotte If they had to leave their church, they also left a cult.

       @lyricismist @AmandaMarcotte And to your point, some of us who chose not to be in the cult also had to leave their churches.  This happened early on.  I’m sorry, but they stayed in the cult and bought all of the racism and grift until it affected them.

       @DebR @lyricismist @AmandaMarcotte The fact that magats align closely with religion made it easy for me to know they were deplorables.
