Most Republicans were staunch advocates of the Whites + Males Rule society long before 2016. My dad‘s favorite presidential candidate of all time was Mitt Romney, and then later John Kasich. To these people, like my dad, Trump was just the latest standard-bearer of what I call the Neanderthal society, the leftovers from Nazi Germany and the Confederacy.

I don't believe John Kasich ever spoke up for toad. We even considered him. My parents were lever pulling Republicans. I wish they were here now so I could experience their views. I have never voted for a party. Always for the platform as an independent. But with both Bushes, I have only supported the Democrats. So few seem to get that women like Hilary and Nancy are truly gifted leaders. I think it is because they are so strong. Which in men, would be a credit but in women is a liability.

Sexism is an even deeper problem in this country than racism. Proof of that is we had Obama as president and we don’t have a woman yet. Multiple, multiple countries in Europe have had one or more female leaders of government. This is a backward country. The USA is a laggard. The next step is a woman who is POTUS. We already have Nancy Pelosi and Kamala Harris, so that’s the one major glass ceiling left, except for the Senate and Chief Justice of the Supreme Court.
