Now if only they would vote like it...
For further context, the Dobbs decision was June 2022...
I feel this is more indicative of the fact that conservatives simply vote more per capita. Public sentiment doesn't always translate to votes when only 20% of the population participates.
Sure, but either way, people are not voting against conservatives - whether that's because they sit out or are continuing to vote conservative seems rather trivia.
... did you not see the last presidential election?
....the one that took place before 2022?
Besides the most recent turnout demonstrating that the women who did vote did not turn more democratic, even Bidens victory in 2020 had nearly the same margins.
Again, it might feel like more women are turning away from the conservative camp, but they certainly aren't voting like it.
I mean I think the fact the “red wave” fizzled completely at midterms is an indication that women are voting more liberal and in greater numbers? Nothing politicizes like an entire gender being told their rights are being removed because “think of the children”.
