It’s unfortunate that supporters of Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump are often labeled as uninformed misogynists, but the behavior of quite a few after a recent poll seems to be proving that stereotype true.
After a tweet was shared by pollster Nate Silver showing that Trump would be projected to win by a landslide if only men voted, supporters of the business tycoon quickly took to social media to write some comments on the matter that they can’t take back.

As UsUncut relays, a number of Trump supporters championed the hashtag #repealthe19th and surmised that women are “unfit for the political arena”.

Sadly, a number of women also adopted the hashtag and wrote that they’d be willing to give up their right to vote to ensure Trump is elected. For the women’s rights activists who worked tirelessly to ensure this right was afforded to females in the U.S., this is the equivalent of a slap in the face.
I would be willing to give up my right to vote to make this happen #repealthe19th https://t.co/vndQu9dKFP

As one might expect, a Twitter feud has erupted on the intent and indecency of the hashtag. Additionally, those who are especially critical of Trump have hijacked the phrase to express their thoughts on its inappropriateness.
There are actual humans, including some women, using #repealthe19th as a real hashtag. For real. WHAT? Trumpets reach a new low. #NeverTrump

Not surprised the Deplorables would chant #repealthe19th but a little amazed most of them can count that high #PrettyGoodForTalkingPondScum

#Repealthe19th? Seriously? You think this is bad, we haven't even had the vote for a full 100yrs yet—sit back, we're just getting started.
