It’s powerful to see daughters calling out their dads for choosing Trump over their well-being; politics shouldn’t come before family.
Doctathunder on
They sure are!! Any vote for Trump is a vote against women. Nearly any vote for any Republican is a vote against women. They 100% want to turn this democracy into a theocracy. They’ll weaponize hate and ignorance towards and about anyone to make it happen.

“But cheap gas and groceries though!” – MAGA Republican dads, probably

It’s always heartbreaking to see a child appeal to their parent’s humanity, only to find there’s none there.
Vegabern on
This is what I think when I walk past a house in my neighborhood with two teen girls. Their parents do not care about them and I feel bad for them.

My neighbor has a special needs son and two daughters. AND he’s a union worker. He’s flying a Trump flag in front of his house.
Professional-Can1385 on
I’m so thankful my dad supports me and other women with his votes and by the way he just lives his life giving women the same respect he gives men.
bermsherm on
While it is poignant coming from daughters, the fact is every American can say that very same thing to a Trump supporter.
ArtDSellers on
Honestly. How any self-respecting man with a daughter can support any republican right now is just beyond me.
necesitafresita on
Sadly, I’m one of them. I barely talk to him now. It’s too much.

A young coworker who is in her mid twenties actually said this to her father about a month ago, and her father agreed with her and said thet Trump was more important to him now than anyone but God.
This is a man who is not even really religious, not really conservative, educated, etc. has been a huge Girl Dad all of “Jane’s life, and then drank the Kool-Aid a few years ago. When she told her mom about this, her mom said, I’ve already talked to a divorce lawyer, I’m gone. He told me he is now head of the house and I need to give him my paycheck every month.
He has apparently given all their savings to Trump PACs, etc.
My father is a pretty big dick, but thank God he hates Trump and that whole ilk.

I do not think most pro life maga understand what banning abortion means to women. It is going to be a massive awakening to these people when their wife’s and daughters are going sterile, suffering through massively painful miscarriages, and even death. I suspect many of these men and even women just never had pregnancy complications. My wife has had most of them. So I am extra attentive to it.
McKayLau on
Wow. That is powerful.
TAHINAZ on
My dad once told me (his daughter) that women don’t deserve equal rights because we ‘can’t dig ditches and do other strenuous work.’ He said my office job isn’t a ‘real job.’ When I complained that the guy at the auto shop was low-key stalking me, he said it was my fault and that I should be ashamed for ‘c*ck teasing’ him. So yeah. Talk about choosing the Maga mindset over his own daughter.
Prudent-Blueberry660 on
I’m pretty sure those dad’s who are voting for Trump saw their daughters as their property so….yeah not quite sure how effective this angle will be.
PMacDiggity on
Any parent voting for trump is doing so at their children’s peril.
Alternative_Car_3823 on
It’s a fucking cult man, I haven’t spoken to my father in years because he was an old school hateful tea party republican that constantly belittled me growing up. I grew up with Rush Limbaugh on the radio and Fox was the only “real” news, also CNN stood for Communist News Network. I got the hell out of his house when I was 17 or so and haven’t spoken to him since.
Hyperion1144 on
I’m always surprised at how many people are surprised at the number of parents who don’t value their own children very highly.
Not all children are wanted.
Dking926 on
Sons too. Me.

Trump not only plants to implement a federal tracking system to track women and control their sexuality, he would force his own daughter to give birth to her rapist baby because “well the man should decide what women do with their own bodies”. F trump and F Christians.
TheRyeWall on
I don’t have a daughter, but I have a sister in her 20’s. Fuck Trump.
She(we) argue with our dad pretty regularly about it, she outright tells him she finds his perspective depressing because he chose to support Trump over his own daughter. Recently my father has said that he is thinking about voting for Harris, but we aren’t convinced.

What a hard hitting ad, holy shit.

A very powerful commercial, especially if targeted at the correct demographic.
forceblast on
As a dad with a daughter I don’t know how these men can vote for him. Hell, as someone with kids, how can they vote for a guy who doesn’t acknowledge climate change at all? It’s crazy to me.
I guess it’s hard to focus on real issues when you have people yelling at you about democrats controlling the weather, and people eating cats and dogs.
PBPunch on
It is always hard to recognize how individuals can be so self serving and ignorant to the reality around them. I can only imagine when it’s a loved one.
lacyandrea on
There’s a TikTok out there where a girl is sitting with her parents in their living room and she’s telling them about her new boyfriend and how much she likes him. The parents are excited she’s found someone until she says, “Well, he has been charged for some crimes, and he did rape a girl once, he talks about sexually harassing women,” to which her parents start becoming concerned. She keeps going, saying “But he had a reason for doing it! He’d never do that to me. The charges are probably fake. I just really like him!”
When her parents are *STILL* unconvinced, telling their daughter if there’s even a *chance* the boy she likes is a criminal and a rapist she shouldn’t associate with him, and that she deserves better…
… She says “Okay *that’s* how you guys sound when you talk about Trump.”
Her parents immediately shut down the conversation, saying “that’s not the same thing.”

I sure cry easily these days.

I’m a father who is smart enough to ever considered voting for a sociopath like Trump and even though I have three young healthy grandchildren I know that my voting against Trump a third time does not protect my daughter and daughter in law in the future, so please I beg anyone who will listen please help me protect my children and grandchildren…… Don’t vote for Trump.
viktor72 on
I feel the same way as a gay son.
mango_serenity on
As a father of 4 daughters, I agree. This is a sentiment I try to explain to my FIL (an avid Trump supporter). When I bring up his granddaughters (he has 5) he just brushes off the conversation.
_Crazy8s on
Man, that Lincoln Project ad is powerful. Father of 4 daughters and it was hard to fucking watch without getting emotional.
And I hate everything about Trump! Still was tough to watch.
Typical_Hedgehog6558 on
I just said this to my dad as well as “well, you’re dead to me now, good luck”.
Ryan1980123 on
Exactly! What has he done that is more important than your daughter?!
SadWoodpecker2397 on
As a trans woman, this is extra true. Most of my extended family have done the same.

Just because men have daughters – or wives- doesn’t mean they respect women.
Didly_Deer on
If their dads are anything like Trump then odds are they want you for different reasons
FreeThinkers2023 on
Sorry gals, Dads who support trump dont care about anything except themselves. Trump makes them feel better about being selfish POS’s, misogynist, bigots, racists, white nationalists, etc.
indicatprincess on
Like all good republicans, my parents are hypocrites. We have our own babies now and we have to tell dad “no screen time”, when in fact it’s “Fox News is trashy and I don’t want my kid hearing that”.
Hippie_writer on
My dad said it was okay that I almost died (ectopic pregnancy rupture). We are no longer on speaking terms
saturatedregulated on
My dad voted for him in 2016. I was heartbroken, and he refused to converse with me about it. My mom asked why I let it bother me so much and I said it is because now I have to view my dad very differently than I did in the past. He was always very involved, loving, respectful, etc. but that one vote stripped that view from me. My mom said she hadn’t looked at it that way and seemed to think about it.
My dad did not vote for him in 2020, and now actively speaks about hating him. My dad is also way more willing to have a conversation about anything. He dodged death in 2018 and it changed his views on life in general. He says now he “doesn’t sweat the small stuff”.
My dad (75 year old white man from the Midwest) has never been openly hateful, racist, etc, so it really shocked me. Now we’ve had conversations about BLM and he said “ALL lives matter though”. I reminded him that in those moments we weren’t talking about ALL lives. We were talking about Black lives and how they’re heavily more affected by police brutality. I said to him, “if you were talking to someone about how scary your medical situation was and they said, ‘but what about so and so?’, you’d probably feel a bit dismissed. ‘so and so’ is important for sure, but that conversation was about your medical issues and your feelings”. I swear I could see the light bulb go off.

My dad has five daughters and he supports Trump. It is genuinely mind blowing that he supports someone who is more than willing to take away rights of his daughters.
