The 19th amendment in the US Constitution gave women the right to vote.

Nate Silver Tweeted this yesterday:

It took about 20 hours for it to get in the mainstream, and after it did..

Edit: as of now, the hashtag is mainly people reacting to the hashtag and trend.

what is wrong with people? Repeal the 19th amendment? Good fucking god.

4Chan's /pol/ board has been going fucking nuts over the women's vote ruining their democracy because women are apparently overwhelmingly voting for Clinton.

Yes, they are that crazy. And their insanity continuously seeps out to other parts of the internet.
 
Average tweets per hour is around 21,000,000.

These tweets are around 0.0002% of all tweets made on twitter in that time. Stop giving them attention.

the idea of the kremlin having dedicated twitters trolls is something

They do this in Germany as well. Their goal is to destabilize Democracy. It would be kinda funny how desperate they are if the political climate wasn't so dangerous right now.

What I want to know is how many women are using that tag, unironically of course. You know that there are going to be dumbasses repeating this shit without actually thinking about it, and worse, some that did.

I'm curious how many of these are legit. I scrolled through a feed of them for a good ten minutes and only found people using it to say how stupid people were for using it.
 
Really? Some dumbasses are crying their eyes out about women voting? Particularly, voting for Clinton? Those fucknuggets can go jump on a goddamn cactus.

Repeal the 19th? Fucking insanity man.

We didn't know how good we all had it with moot until it was too late.

Can we please stop take Twitter trends as face-value signals? As soon as there's a little momentum, there's huge not swarms that come in spamming and then there's always a backlash of people using it to criticize it. And who's to say the initial momentum was legit anyway?
