The liberal desire to claim all unclaimed conservative adjacent women as being secretly on their side has always been extremely weird and honestly is mostly just plain misogyny
But on the other hand, the abortion vote in Kansas in 2022
Statistically, white women skew mildly more conservative than not and it’s deeply annoying to see people acting like people don’t usually marry people they agree with.
Like many trophy wives, she is in it for the money.

Women are perfectly capable of embracing the patriarchy and being horrible shits. They have agency.
I think something else is that they don't want to reckon with how many white women hold racist views along with the white men.
There’s also this leftist obnoxiousness that assumes ignorance or stupidity of liberals. I’m not saying that there aren’t liberals that think Melania is some abused wife who’s trying to get out, but you know it can be true she hates him and she’s still a wretched human being.
Conservatives and liberals both have developed these really obnoxious assumptions about the politics of others based on identity. There are lots of conservative women, minorities, and immigrants, but Dems and GOP seem confused and assume all of these demographics are solid Dem voter blocks
No kidding. Siding with the patriarchy has historically been a decent reasonable survival strategy for women. Still is for some.
