Cut the crap shade, nothing you post has a passing resemblance to reality.
And stooopid is STILL buying into that stop the steal crap. Not EVEN your Ninjas could bail out that story in AZ.
Trump was the stupid president for the equally stupid voters who told us that 'he said what they thought.' What an indictment of the meaning of the word 'thought'.
And put a cherry on stop of the stupid sundae that was the SCOTUS decision on Roe V Wade.
Talk about unintended consequences. Screwed the GOP pooch bigly. Thank you wannabe theocratic judges.
Women’s Voter Sign-Ups Surge After Roe Ruling, Buoying Democrats

The number of women signing up to vote has jumped in key midterm battleground states since the Supreme Court struck down a national right to abortion, with Democrats benefiting as the issue pushes to the forefront in campaigns.
Women have outpaced men in new voter registrations by 11 percentage points in Ohio, 12 points in Pennsylvania and 15 points in Wisconsin since the court’s June 24 ruling. In Georgia, the margin was 6 points and in North Carolina 7 points.
The new voters are overwhelmingly young and Democratic, according to TargetSmart , a Democratic data analytics firm that compiled the numbers from state voter files. That could prove pivotal in the party’s battle with Republicans for control of the House and Senate. Women have been an essential part of the Democratic base in past midterms.
Among many pro-abortion rights women, particularly those of child-bearing age, “there is sense of direct threat to their lives, literally deciding for them and having a direct impact on their reproductive rights,” said Kelly Dittmar, research director for the Center for American Women and Politics at Rutgers University.
The registration figures are another sign of the real-world political impact of the high court’s decision overturning the 1973 Roe v. Wade ruling, potentially shifting the November election from a referendum on President Joe Biden’s performance in office to one about choosing sides on potent cultural issues.
Additional evidence includes the special election for a New York House seat last week that turned on the issue of abortion, the decisive defeat of an anti-abortion ballot measure in solidly Republican Kansas and polls showing Democrats pulling even with Republicans in voter preferences.
That’s a turnabout from earlier in the year when Republicans looked to be cruising toward a sweep in House and Senate races.
Other events also have contributed to the shift of attention away from the economy as a defining issue in the election. Those include a series of deadly mass shootings, House hearings on Donald Trump’s role in the Jan. 6, 2021 insurrection; and Trump’s headline-grabbing battle with the FBI over the agency’s seizure of classified materials from his Mar-a-Lago home.
For now, Democrats are making up ground. Democratic candidates have outperformed Biden’s 2020 vote share in all four special elections to fill vacant U.S. House seats since the Supreme Court ruling. In New York, Democrat Pat Ryan unexpectedly won an Aug. 23 House special election in a swing district in the Hudson Valley with a campaign focused on protecting abortion rights.
Democrats in early August pulled even in national polling averages on which party voters would prefer to see in charge of Congress for the first time since last November. And after lagging behind Republicans on voting enthusiasm most of the year, Democrats also have gained, with 66% of Democrats versus 68% of Republicans saying they have a “high interest” in voting this year, according to an NBC News poll taken Aug. 12-16.
The Trump Factor
“Trump has put himself back on the ballot through these extremist candidates,” said Sarah Longwell, an anti-Trump Republican strategist and publisher of the conservative website The Bulwark.
Longwell, who conducts voter focus groups on a weekly basis, said college-educated suburban women voters, a swing constituency she follows that leaned toward Biden in 2020, had been gravitating back to Republicans last year amid frustration over school coronavirus restrictions, crime and inflation but are now being repelled by the GOP again.
The surge in mostly Democratic-leaning women registering to vote has broader ramifications than mere numbers added to voter rolls. Not only are newly registered voters especially likely to cast ballots in the coming election but they are a telling gauge of a constituency’s mobilization, said Tom Bonier, TargetSmart’s chief executive officer.
“Registration trends can be a good indicator of intensity,” Bonier said. “If you see a group that is surging in registration, you should expect to see higher turnout from that group.”
