In the latest issue of The Atlantic, Peter Beinart lists some of the campaign paraphernalia he saw for sale at the Republican convention. I’ll quote the entire paragraph:
Black pin reading DON’T BE A PUSSY. VOTE FOR TRUMP IN 2016. Black-and-red pin reading TRUMP 2016: FINALLY SOMEONE WITH BALLS. White T-shirt reading TRUMP THAT BITCH. White T-shirt reading HILLARY SUCKS BUT NOT LIKE MONICA. Red pin reading LIFE’S A BITCH; DON’T VOTE FOR ONE. White pin depicting a boy urinating on the word Hillary. Black T-shirt depicting Trump as a biker and Clinton falling off the motorcycle’s back alongside the words IF YOU CAN READ THIS, THE BITCH FELL OFF. Black T-shirt depicting Trump as a boxer having just knocked Clinton the the floor of the ring, where she lies face up in a clingy tank top. White pin advertising KFC HILLARY SPECIAL. 2 FAT THIGHS. 2 SMALL BREASTS...LEFT WING.
In a poll taken last year, more Republicans said “there is a lot of discrimination “ against white men than said “there is a lot of discrimination” against women.
And one more statistic. Approximately 12% of voters say they would not vote for a woman candidate running for the presidency.
