Obama had to be polite, intelligent, and well-spoke, or else he'd be considered too "hood" for the White House, Trump has had no such requirement.
If Obama or Harris had shown up with their five kids from three different marriages, it would be the ultimate proof that the "Lessers are breeding like crazy!" and they would be condemned by the bigots on Right and the "I'm not racist, but..." on the Left|
When Trump did it, he was just seen as a family man.

I would've ordered some pizza and left that bullshit
bold of you to assume they don't love him because he attempted a coup on live tv
At the level orangie is polling, sexist would be generous. A flaming dumpster fire probably more accurate.
Chalk it up to Citizens United and corporate media - the partnership to end democracy.
Not to defend “them”, but I really do believe that very little of this has anything to do with the fact that she’s a woman. It’s a red versus blue thing, democracy versus fascism. At this point, it doesn’t really matter who runs for president, wrt gender or even race. Trump has attacked her race far more than mentioning anything about her gender. Nonetheless, Trump just sees the dems as “the enemy“, and has convinced all of his cultists to view things in the same terms.
Any other Republican of this current generation would probably attack her on her gender as much as her race, but for some reason, Trump only attacks things he doesn’t understand such as biraciality (biracialness? Biracitude?).
They've attacked the fact she's a childless woman plenty. Like if it mattered for her policies. I doubt they'll straight up attack her for just being a woman much because they still want the conservative woman vote but they'll sure as shit attack her for woman things.

I'm sure it has much nuance, but all things being equal. If she were a 45 year old white man, I believe it would be a lot less close.
I’ve heard people openly talking about this election being “whether a woman gets to be president or not”.

Pretty much, I used to think Hillary was just THAT unpopular, and that Trump could never win a fair election with someone competent, capable, and without baggage.
I really hope I wasn't wrong...
Trump and his reich frequently attack her for being a step mother, accuse her of using sex for professional gain, and call her a cat lady. What the fuck are you talking about?

I believe that a lot of it has to do with her being a non-white woman.
Obviously, something like 30-40% of people had already picked a side and were going to vote either Trump or whoever was not Trump on the other ticket. But, there are still plenty of people in the middle. Given how extreme the US is, the "middle" isn't reasonable, thoughtful people. They're all voting for the democrats. It's racists who don't think abortion should be banned. It's sexists who are concerned with corruption. It's people who are in the alt-right bubble and think that George Soros and Bill Gates are using mosquitoes to infect people with 5G... but who think Trump is a Freemason, so you can't vote for him.
👍 in my country I'm in the middle, but by US-American standards I'm far left (or more left than the democrats at least).
