To add to all the insanity that's followed Trump's presidential campaign (the most memorable being the border wall and the "locker room" tape), Trump supporters are calling to repeal the 19th amendment, which would take away women's right to vote. When they say make America great again, I guess they thought that the early 1900s were the peak of American government. The reason for this crazy proposal is this: A twitter user posted a chart that showed how the vote count would sway if only men were to vote versus if only women were to vote. The outcome was that Hillary would win if women had the stage, and Trump would win if men were the only ones to vote. Trump supporters on twitter jumped into action, pushing the tag #repealthe19th to the top trending. A young woman even went as far as posting this:
#repealthe19th I would gladly waive my right to vote to solidify the win! #TrumpPence2016 #NeverHillary
If we did repeal the 19th amendment (which won't happen, for various reasons), we would be taking a huge step back in our battle for gender equality, in which we have accomplished major milestones in the past 50 or so years.

This makes me feel scared honestly. Why go back in time when our future was suppose to be better. I hate trump not to be like salty but I do. I pray the thanked he does not win, because woman's are suppose to be respected in many ways. And also the men's. But no matter what gender we all deserve rights.

ReplyDeleteDid the female Trump voters support this? Besides, I think it's selfish to take away someone's rights just to tip the bar and make Trump win(it would be unfair).
