U.S. Election post #8: They want “their women” under control

You’ve probably seen the headline: 1 in 8 women say they’ve secretly voted differently than partners. But you shouldn’t be surprised.

Perhaps I need to remind you that this happened during “Orange Julius Caesar’s” first election campaign back in the more innocent time of 2016:

The reason it’s a headline is because of this ad:

The “controversial” part of the ad is that it tells women that they can vote for the candidate of their choice, even if it’s not the same as their husband’s choice.

As you’ve probably surmised, the ad has some high-profile conservative pundits up in arms:

But imagine the gender-flipped scenario: An ad that tells you that you don’t have to vote for who your wife wants to vote for, and you don’t even have to tell her who you voted for — after all, you’re your own man, right? Suddenly, it sounds like common sense.
