Summary:
Amid rising early voting numbers from women in battleground states like Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania—where they make up 55% of ballots cast—some conservative voices are panicking. Right-wing commentators are sounding the alarm, fearing that even MAGA-supporting husbands’ wives might be casting secret ballots for Kamala Harris.
Charlie Kirk, founder of Turning Point USA, has put it starkly: “If men stay at home, Kamala is president. It’s that simple.” Jesse Watters of Fox News has even equated a wife secretly voting for Harris to “having an affair.”
Oh, many of them are. They are right to be afraid. Everything makes these gamma males afraid, though. Climate change, the empowerment of women, people who disagree with them.
They are gentler than snowflakes, they are cold breezes in a world that’s steadily warming. And they know it. They fear the future, no matter what happens. They fear change.
It’s as if they want to conserve the status quo. We should call them “conservationists”!
