    The absolute terrible acting here will not be picked up by the South. That very reflective Jesus Cross around her neck is an obvious prop. All the fake crying in the world wonā€™t derail those people. Sickening.

      Fortunately, there are only a handful of states that actually have a chance to alter the outcome and several of those states will have a lot of conservatives going ā€œwtf was that?ā€ Ohio, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin are the four I expect would see the most suppressed republican voter turnout from this train wreck of a speech

        Iā€™ve lost all faith in conservatives to think logically or use common sense.

          Believe it or not there are still moderate ones out there, they just have shut up because theyā€™re embarrassed

          But they call themselves ā€œcommon sense conservativesā€! What more do you want? Gosh!

            If theyā€™d stop voting for psycopaths simply because they have an R next to the name, thatā€™d be greeeaaat.

        The general election is still eight months away. No one will remember this train wreck by then, since thereā€™ll be all new ones.

          The decision to stay home on election day isnā€™t made of a single event. Itā€™s a chain of them that demoralizes someone into apathy

      Deep south Louisiana here. Recognized the fake sincerity in both her awful ā€œIā€™m a good Christian wifeyā€ voice and her ā€œfake fake fake concernedā€ facial expressions, the fake automated and often inappropriate smiles. Yuk.

      Iā€™m sure this will fly right over the heads of Evangelical/Fundie idiots, because thatā€™s all theyā€™ve ever known. But those of us whoā€™ve dipped our toe into the waters of a wider world are noticing, and we are not being fooled at all.

      Even some Republicans down here noticedā€¦my neighbor asked me if I saw her ā€œlittle talk in her kitchenā€ and called it a shit show. Sheā€™s not wrong, but I donā€™t think she even knows to what extent.

      Tens of millions of women are angered by the overthrow of abortion rights and her ā€œmommy and wifeyā€ as her primary role in society is going to anger them further. The Republican woman is being shown as submissive with little value to the party; she literally belongs in the kitchen! Thatā€™s a big no-no to many women, even some Republican ones.
