#RepealThe19th: Trump’s Deplorables Launch Twitter Campaign Wanting to Revoke Women’s Right to Vote
‘If Only Women Voted’
If only women were allowed to vote, Hillary Clinton would win in a landslide, with more than twice the number of electoral college votes needed to take the White House. So Nate Silver revealed in a tweet detailing a FiveThirtyEight article Tuesday evening:
Here’s what the map would look line if only women voted: https://t.co/sjVY67qouE pic.twitter.com/rrc3GuXmGl

Liked over 14,000 times and retweeted over 15,000 times, that tweet and the story led to other tweets:

And to the sign of a meme perhaps overdone:

All fun aside, though, the point of the story, as Silver wrote, is that “it seems fair to say that, if Trump loses the election, it will be because women voted against him.”
Enter Donald Trump’s deplorables.
96 years after women finally gained the right to vote – a process that began in 1878 and did not end until 1920 – Trump’s “patriots” who love America so much they believe their lives and the lives of their families depend on a racist, misogynistic, homophobic, anti-immigrant, anti-science, birther, conspiracy-loving liar to “save them,” want to now repeal women’s right to vote.
Up has sprung the hashtag #RepealThe19th, as in, repeal the 19th amendment, which granted disenfranchised women the right to vote.
No, don’t check your calendars, it’s still 2016.
If women are truly childish enough to not vote for Trump since he thought Miss Universe needed to stay in shape, #RepealThe19th.#KellyFile

This is why we need to repeal and not replace the 19th amendment. #RepealThe19th https://t.co/bV4WnbgQ2H

Response to the desire to disenfranchise more than half the nation was quick:
In response to a study showing Trump would win if only men voted, some of his backers are tweeting #RepealThe19th. DEPLORABLE. #WomenSaveUs

Literally the ONLY thing that surprises me about #RepealThe19th is that Trump supporters know there are more than 2 amendments.

#repealthe19th is trending because #Trump supporters think if only men voted then he would win. When you thought it couldn’t get any worse. pic.twitter.com/BkU4J5aZNj

#RepealThe19th is not just infuriating but also heartbreaking. In case you needed even further proof that sexism is alive & well, here it is

#RepealThe19th is trending which is an excellent way for the #Trump campaign to prove just how supportive of women their voters are.

At one point, LGBT activist and writer Jeremy Hooper posted this to Twitter:
How many Trump backers respond to #RepealThe19th by wondering when they named a month Repeal?
— Jeremy Hooper (@goodasyou) October 12, 2016
And got this in response:
@goodasyou Nope just you faggot
