It's like walking up to someone you don't know in a coffee shop and demanding they turn their laptop screen away from you because you don't like the article they're reading or the email they're writing.

Chuck Darwin<p>The Trump campaign’s male-dominated culture is losing women votes</p><p>Soon after Donald Trump’s campaign team took over the Republican National Committee earlier this year, a senior Trump aide was asked <br>❓how to combat news stories that the campaign had an insufficient get-out-the-vote operation.❓<br>

<br>In many ways, that campaign culture mirrors some of its strategies. </p><p>Trump and his advisers are calculating that, at a time when polls show voters dissatisfied with the direction of the country, and with turmoil abroad revealing the limitations of America’s global influence, <br>they can win the White House by projecting a particular kind of strength <br>— with a distinctly <a href="https://c.im/tags/aggressive" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>aggressive</span></a> vibe not seen in presidential campaigns before</p><p><a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/10/10/is-trump-campaigns-male-dominated-culture-losing-women-votes/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">washingtonpost.com/politics/20</span><span class="invisible">24/10/10/is-trump-campaigns-male-dominated-culture-losing-women-votes/</span></a></p>
