"And this is where the right is the most out of touch." Not exactly. The rightwing top predators who are harnessing the vicious misogyny of the rank-and-file are very much in touch and know exactly what they are doing. What you are seeing is a short-term tactic in the top predators' long-term strategy, the ultimate goal being a society of nothing but serfs and soldiers to serve the needs of the very rich. The strategy is to destroy the middle class and crush the poor so the rich can never, ever be threatened. Attacking the health and finances of half of the non-wealthy population (since rich women will always be able to get whatever they need), and consequently on all who depend on them, is the most efficient single round of socioeconomic grapeshot that can be fired.
