Women of different political ideologies reacted in their own way to Republican Donald Trump’s historic victory in the US presidential election. While the liberals have promised to have a sex strike, conservative women are all ready to have more children.

Conservative women hope Trump will follow through on his election guarantees, including improving tax laws, managing inflation and curbing illegal immigration, which would help them live better lives and plan for more children. Meanwhile, liberal women fear losing their reproductive rights and facing gender bias.

“I’m waiting for my husband to come home from the fire department. asking if we can have another baby now that we can afford it. Thank you Trump,” reads the caption of a TikTok clip posted Wednesday by Tara Elsas, a mom from Illinois, and cited by the New York Post.

Elsas, 30, can be seen dancing and twerking to Usher’s popular number “Hey Daddy (Daddy’s Home)” in the 11-second clip, which has surpassed 66,000 views.

“The video was meant for fun, but there is a lot of truth behind it,” Elsas told the Post. She and her husband, married for four years, always wanted to give their 20-month-old daughter another sibling.

“But as we all know, things are expensive and my husband is a firefighter, so his salary is not huge.”

The Lincoln, Illinois, couple felt their dream of expanding their family was out of reach — until Trump’s decisive victory Tuesday.

“It was a huge sigh of relief,” Elsas said of the election result. “(Trump’s) campaign promised to fight inflation, and he has a plan to do it, which makes a real difference for us.”

She also highlighted Trump’s proposal to eliminate overtime taxes, which is important to their family since her husband often works overtime. Plus, “extending the current Trump tax cuts is great for us. »

Elsas praised Trump’s commitment to lower gas prices, increase domestic drilling and end the war between Russia and Ukraine, noting: “All of these changes will help us afford another child without fear that inflation will continue to rise, and to guarantee our child the life he deserves. deserve.”

She also expressed a sense of security about bringing another baby into the world under the Trump presidency. “We feel more at peace knowing that he will keep the boys out of the locker room and out of my daughter’s sports,” Elsas said.

Other like-minded women flooded the comments section of her TikTok video, sharing similar sentiments.

Liberal women call for sex strike

On the other hand, liberal women have developed a unique model form of protest to express their anguish and disappointment at the victory of the elected president.

Many women have now pledged to go on a sex strike following Trump’s election victory, fearing its impact on abortion rights and women’s protections, according to a report in the Telegraph. The unusual protest was inspired by the Korean feminist movement “4B” which promises to deny men sex in order to redefine the balance of power between the sexes.

The “4B” movement originated in South Korea in 2019 – where women took a new approach to fighting patriarchy by “renouncing men” and refusing to participate in heterosexual relationships. His supporters promote the four “no’s”: no sex (bisekseu), no dating (biyeonae), no marriage (bihon), and no children with men (bichulsan) – for the next four years as long as Trump is in office. in power.
