In the hours following former President Donald Trump’s election victory, Google searches related to 4B — a fringe South Korean feminist movement that made a name for itself in the mid to late 2010s — surged in the United States.

    What are you talking about? Bernie Bros are the diametric opposite of the problem. My comment is addressing all the men but them!

      Never mind.

      I’m wasting my breath, but thank you for the discussion.

          You can live in 2008 and 2014, but I can guarantee you (if what you saw this week wasn’t enough) that people are a tad more concerned with their inability to pay for groceries and the necessity of rationing their meds.

          The voters told Dems what they wanted. Dems told them to be joyful about being in poverty.

          They didn’t vote Trump out of hatred of women. (Most, at least. Some surely did.) They voted Trump because Harris represented a very shitty status quo.

            They thought Trump was going to save them from poverty? Did he save them from poverty last time?

              Yes.

              Did he save them from poverty last time?

              Of fucking course not, but that doesn’t stop them from believing the lie.

              The poverty wasn’t this extreme last time. That’s the issue.

                Did you think that had anything to do with Trump?

                  I do, yes.

                  It made me think of 2016, when three families on my parents’ block had lost their homes to foreclosure, and Hillary was trying to defend the status quo. Extrapolate that to every street in America and you have an unelectable Democrat.

                  The same is true now, except it’s people working 2-3 jobs for the privilege of barely affording to live in the US. Trump lied about a lot of things, but he didn’t have to lie about how hard it’s become just to exist in this country.

                    Trump instituted a tax cut for everyone that was set to expire and a perpetual one for companies. It’s hilarious that you think Trump made anyone prosperous he was running on the fumes of Obama’s economy before he helped crash it by totally bungling covid.
