"By electing Trump, voters opted for more crude misogyny in public life. The president-elect quickly delivered on that mandate with obscene proposals like putting Matt Gaetz and Pete Hegseth in top posts."

the weaklings are easy to spot, they hate women and see them as a threat. Too worldly. Too aware. Too caring. Too empathetic. All because these weak men areβ¦..too small. they know, that we know. ours is to remind them of that. every day.

This is how people currently view masculinity. How do we change that? How do we start equating masculinity with respect, fairness, positive leadership, calm strength, being well-informed, etc.?
Given that ideas like misogyny are probably not common amongst Trump voters, I doubt very much that they are aware or even care that by voting for him they βoptedβ for many of the consequences of their votes.
he donβt deserve the title to have bestowed on him. I will always just refer to him as Trump. when is these news folks often referred to Obama and Biden by their names but always when they mention him they add the POTUS prefix whatβs up with that? theyβre afraid of media being cut off access
Trump finally signs the required agreements to allow the cabinet to start transition. HOWEVER, Trump has stated he will not disclose which donors, corporations, or foreign governments are donating to his inauguration. Nor will he have a cap on how large a donation can be. ALL THE MONIES ARE HIS!
Reminder: something like 100 million Americans chose not to vote. I guess they were too busy doing other things. Covid taught us you cannot ignore Trump. This time it will be far worse- and too late.
thank you for sharing this. good report. I mean it's horrible, bit the reporting is good. none of those ppl should be confirmed & a rapist shouldn't be allowed 2 b president. I notice this, as well as reports on npr & nbc meet the press did not mention hegseths Christian nationalist tattoos. π€
Trump is such a wimp. His masculinity is at a level below zero so he overcompensates by surrounding himself with those WELL below zero. What a bunch of crybaby lunatics.
I think there were many aspects, many legal but dirty. Massive purges of Democrats, a big dirty tricks ad & comms campaign by Musk & Putin, Putins bomb scares in D voting areas, loss of mail in votes in D areas, the massive R wing media bubble, MSM sane washing the R. It all added up.
They have also opted for a hell of a lot more deaths in the next pandemic. I canβt even begin to say how heartbroken I am about the public health disaster this is going to be.
C'mon, Aaron. It's a bit rich to claim that the United States is currently speedrunning the U-bend because it's full of angry incels.
You're completely discounting the literally millions of Americans who simply don't give a fuck about all this "ππ€πππππΎπ¨" stuff.
These are the same a-holes from high school that used phrases like "Bros Before Hoes" and "No Fat Chicks." Nobody liked those guys then and now they're running the country. Toxic masculinity run amok!
But what about all those women who voted for him? Are they self haters? Do they truly believe that you need a penis to be in the WH? I absolutely donβt get it.
Why they so mad at women? My wife is the center of this thing called family. We love her. We respect her. She is an integral part of our existence. We need her. God help anybody that wants to make her less.
Elections shape the tone of public life as much as policy. Leadership matters, not just for what it does but for what it normalizes. The implications go beyond appointmentsβthey reflect the values we collectively elevate or challenge. It's a stark reminder: votes have cultural consequences too.
It isn't surprising that people vote against their interests: women who voted for Trump, people who rely on ObamaCare who voted for Trump (I remember a stat that 11M who voted for Trump will die if/when it is repealed), minorities who voted for Trump, etc., etc.
SMH. You are missing the point. You say masculine toxicity horseshit, then you keep giving examples of toxic women. Nobody said there are NOT toxic women.
Opinions of GOP men holding government offices on rape. If any one of these men where sentenced to prison they'd be more afraid of rape than how many years. If Big Bubba wants to make you his bitch, it's inevitable, just relax and enjoy it.
Crude misogyny
more expensive everything
a hollowed out media
the destruction of public education
Elon Musk
trade wars
the attempt to arrest and deport millions
privatizing more and more government functions
sexual assaulters getting secretary jobs
Yes. Also though, it's the same billionaire pedos that diddle kiddos. That's why this is happening. We got too close with Epstein and Diddy. Women billionaires don't play their game. That's why there are so few women billionaires. Bc the billionaire men pay to justify rape instead of being people
These white raciest Magats are always a sucker for snake oil salesmen like Trump. They are easy prey. Big city folks up north like to take their money too when they come to their town. They red hate help identify they are low IQ losers itβs like a sign βtake my money pleaseβ. ππ€£ππ€£
Youβre more compassionate than I. I am angry at Biden-Trump voters & Ds who stayed home. Thereβs likely to be so much needless suffering due to this.
Though, there were many dirty tricks too (bomb scares, dirty ads & coms, massive voter purges, loss of mail ins). Itβs a little coup-like.
These fools have no idea how much worse life will be under Trump. Voted once again against their own best interests bcuz they're too lazy to verify anything.

The left has a LOOOOT of work to do in growing an effective defense against the christofascists taking control of the gov.
Crude misogyny does not exist in isolation. It is part and parcel to a violent ideology.
If we were taking these folks seriously, it wouldn't be calling them misogynists (even tho they are).
This is and does lead to violence. The violence is the point.
Take seriously the threats to our freedoms.
Christofascists will be running all branches of government by February.
itβs just unrealistic to think that he cheated in 2016, mounted an insurrection in 2020, and decided that he wouldnβt interfere at all in 2024.
he will never be my elected leader.

Ugh. ππ
We have a lot of hurt, sad, broke, and angry people in this country and fear is an accelerant.

The majority in this country do NOT deserve how they are treated. By the government or by the electorate who say things like "people deserve fascism".
We all deserve better.
