Don’t keep coming to me asking where are all the good Republicans that defend democracy and then take your donors’ money and spend half-a-million dollars promoting one of the worst election deniers that’s out there.

Republican US House candidate John Gibbs has expressed that he wants to repeal the 19th Amendment. He believes it was a mistake to give women the right to vote. Say "No!" to the Republicans!

Agreed that we should say "'No!' to the Republicans!"

According to CNN Politics:

John Gibbs, who defeated in the primary an incumbent Republican who had voted to impeach Trump, also made comments in the early 2000s praising an organization trying to repeal the 19th Amendment which also argued that women’s suffrage had made the United States into a “totalitarian state.”

As a student at Stanford University in the early 2000s, Gibbs founded a self-described “think tank” called the Society for the Critique of Feminism that argued women did not “posess (sic) the characteristics necessary to govern,” and said men were smarter than women because they are more likely to “think logically about broad and abstract ideas in order to deduce a suitable conclusion, without relying upon emotional reasoning.”

Hosted on Gibbs’ personal page at Stanford in 2000 and 2001, the Society for the Critique of Feminism argued for a patriarchal society run by men, calling it “the best model for the continued success of a society.” [...] On the site, Gibbs actively argued against women being granted the right to vote, saying it led to an enlarged federal government.

“Some argue that in a democratic society, it is hypocritical or unjust for women, who are 50% of the population, not to have the vote,” Gibbs’ website read. “This is obviously not true, since the founding fathers, who understood liberty and democracy better than anyone, did not believe so. In addition, all people under age 18 cannot vote, although they too comprise a significant portion of the population. So we cannot say that women should be able to vote simply because they are a large part of the population.”

“We conclude that increasing the size and scope of government is unequivocally bad,” Gibbs added. “And since women’s suffrage has caused this to occur on a larger scale than any other cause in history, we conclude that the United States has suffered as a result of women’s suffrage.”

Of course Gibbs recently denied that he really believes that stuff.

“I was in college, 23 years ago.” “And this was made as a satire, of trolling against the liberals on campus after we had a discussion about what freedom really means.” 

What Gibbs wrote was so off-the-wall it would be hard to believe it wasn't satire. Still, he was "trolling against liberals" at the expense of women. Even if it was satire, my guess is on some level Gibbs believes some of the things he was writing or he wouldn't have even thought to "troll" liberals in that way.

And to think that John Gibbs beat a man with integrity, Rep. Peter Meijer, who voted to impeach Trump after the insurrection. Too bad for Michigan.

Trump-Backed House Candidate Argued Against Women's Right To Vote

John Gibbs, the GOP nominee for a House seat in Michigan, said women should take care of children, and leave governing and voting to men.

I just CAN’T.  Hopefully Gibbs will get his a$$ kicked to the curb in November.

Sir Tatton Sykes Monument, Garton Hill, East Riding of Yorkshire

In March 1863 Sir Tatton Sykes, 4th baronet, died at Sledmere, his seat in Yorkshire. Almost immediately there were calls for a monument to his memory, and a committee was formed to oversee the project and solicit subscriptions. Various sites were considered, and a competition launched to find the perfect design. Early in 1865 a site high on Garton Hill was decided upon, and the chosen architect,…
