If you were asking yourself, how could Donald Trump and his supporters could make things worse? The answer came in an effort by online Trump supporters take the right to vote away from women.
The uproar started after 538’s Nate Silver tweeted two maps that showed what the election result would look like if only men or women voted:

The Republican Party’s answer is always to keep the voters who don’t support them from voting. Republicans have spent years pushing bogus voter ID laws that target minorities, urban residents, the poor, younger voters, and even the elderly.
Their efforts haven’t stopped Democrats from winning presidential elections, so they have decided to attack the majority of the US population by repealing the 19th Amendment to the Constitution. Republicans are hellbent on building a white male-only electorate because that is the only way that they can win.
The Republican Party have become so extreme under Donald Trump that his supporters want to deny women the right to vote. The war on women has just been escalated to an attempted constitutional genocide of female equality and liberty.
