They hide behind sentimental language about children, but the pattern shows something else: resentment towards anything that might distract a woman from serving a man and raising babies. It's not just the big-ticket "distractions" like having a job that infuriate them, either. Garden variety pleasures, such as having a pet, cause them to come unglued.

But Trump has extensive ties to Project 2025, which offers policy proposals to bring swaths of his campaign platform to life.
