Mara Wilson @marawilson.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Often the first member of a marginalized group to get to higher heights is the one to throw the other members of their group under the bus. Most of the first female prime ministers and leaders were very conservative. I wouldn’t be surprised if the first female president of the US were Republican.@weather97.bsky.social@weather97.bsky.socialIt just seems common because time and again famous anti-gay/trans figures are revealed to be closeted. Lindsay Graham, Roy Cohn, even Joe McCarthy had rumors about his hidden sexuality.7:43 PM · Sep 28, 2026 000
Dex Anderson @dexanderson.com · 28/09/2026↪ Replying to @marawilson.bsky.socialMinnesota's next governor is going to be a woman, and while I believe Klobuchar could win, the fact that the Republicans nominated a conservative black woman is not a surprise to me. 090
Lane Moore @hellolanemoore.bsky.social · 28/09/2026↪ Replying to @marawilson.bsky.socialYuppp. And they'll only put them at the top because they know they'll throw other people under the bus, and they can still claim diversity but surprise! They're still enacting the same evils that came before them. 040

Alon (they/them) @alonlevy.bsky.social · 28/09/2026↪ Replying to @marawilson.bsky.socialWhich ones are you thinking of except Thatcher? Merkel was a moderate and didn't at all throw women under the bus, Meir was an asshole but very much didn't throw women under the bus (she famously rejected Mafdal's proposed curfew on women), Andersson is a social feminist, Tsai is generally based. 210
daryl "crimetime after primetime" b 🏳️⚧️ @hypercubexl.bsky.social · 28/09/2026↪ Replying to @marawilson.bsky.socialhave seen republicans "elevate" women to positions of power almost as a troll, because they'd never let that happen with a dem, but they can claim they're for equality while those women turn out to be vile monsters 190
Lyd Ⓥ @lydclark.bsky.social · 28/09/2026↪ Replying to @marawilson.bsky.socialMarginalized people that uphold dominance supremacy while simultaneously pretending it doesn’t exist are permitted to ascend unabated. They hate a marginalized person with solidarity for other people in their group. We’re supposed to ascend and deride others below us. 000
Nate's Myth @natesmith.dev · 28/09/2026↪ Replying to @marawilson.bsky.socialthat's partly because it's the only way incumbents will let them share or wield power, if they pull in the same evil direction. we need women to share power, yes, but even more so we need both men and women (and enbys) who embody the feminine in governance; not dominance, but considering the whole 010
CDRE Fool Mental Jackass VI @uncle6.org · 28/09/2026↪ Replying to @marawilson.bsky.socialI always assumed the first Black President would be a Republican, honestly. And if they'd put Colin Powell up in 1996, he would have been 030
weather97.bsky.social @weather97.bsky.social · 28/09/2026↪ Replying to @marawilson.bsky.socialI would be. I feel like Republicans would rather lose before they ever nominated a woman. Even now, female party members report they feel ostracized by their male colleagues. 000

Sunset Dweller @sunsetdenizen.bsky.social · 28/09/2026↪ Replying to @marawilson.bsky.socialAlmost certainly. And conservatives will vote for her because she will the worst person that you've ever heard of. And liberals will vote for her because she's a woman 020

"Alice Lastname" @eskanto.bsky.social · 28/09/2026↪ Replying to @marawilson.bsky.socialThis is true but I also appreciate that people called out the problematic elements and assuming that queerphobes are all closet and the person who suggested that accepted that criticism gracefully. Societal misogyny, patriarchy, and so on is more than enough to explain people's hostility toward us 000
