The fact these men are angry about this is exactly the reason these women need to vote for their candidate of choice secretly. My goodness these people can only feel their worth by oppressing others, even if (perhaps especially if) it’s their own wife or family. What a sad existence.
- Or women can just divorce their conservative husbands.
  
  The most dangerous time in an abusive relationship is when you try to leave it.
  
  Soon that may no longer be possible :(
gotta love conservative-minded crowd: they are all about "privacy", personal freedoms etc. but at the same time can't keep their hands out of others' pants (proverbially and literally) and are nosy about everything. Isn't voting a personal choice? If my spouse doesn't tell me who they vote for I'll just say it's their right and move on with my life... but not cons... noooooo. Gotta stick their noses everywhere
- They want the freedom to do their own monitoring without consequences.
If you're angry about the ad, guess what, you're the problem and probably an abusive, worthless, shitty husband. Sucks to have to look in the mirror, doesn't it?
Fucking nutjobs.
"AH DEMAND MA PRIVACY, BUT MA WIFE DONT GET NERN."
I thought the ads were for fringe cases but apparently a considerable number of women are expected to vote for their husband's candidate of choice instead of just agreeing to disagree like functional adults who care about each other's opinions
- If the situation were reversed and my wife "agreed to disagree" by supporting a fascist, I freely admit that it would cause me to have serious doubts about our relationship.
  That isn't to say the MAGA husbands' views are justified -- quite the opposite! It's to say that moral relativism is bullshit and being judged for supporting fascism is not equivalent to being judged for opposing it.
LOL, the qons, revealing who they truly are.
Always remember stuff like this when some con pipes up with what True Conservatism (TM) is really about, or some "centrist" in the "liberal media" starts their mansplaining about the same...this is what it's all really about, people. The bullshit about "small government" and the miracles of the free market and so on is just a load of horse manure.
It's honestly not even that offensive of a video. If I saw the exact opposite, I'd think it's dumb and move on. The fact that people are outraged speaks volumes. Both to the truth of the matter and the fact that they aren't oblivious to it.
If you are angry at this ad, have you considered taking up chain smoking?
- I am angry that we even need to create this ad. Should i still consider taking up chain smoking?
This ad targets women who are married to men who view women as property. Pick any 10 random towns off I-10 in Florida and see how women are treated there and you'll understand how widespread of a problem this still is. It's depressing that this ad needs to exist, but it does need to exist right now.
