Summary

Many Democrats, especially women, expressed disillusionment and frustration online, viewing the result as a reflection of deep-seated misogyny in the U.S.

Harris supporters highlighted anger that a “felony convicted, twice-impeached” Trump prevailed over a female candidate.

Comparisons to Hillary Clinton’s 2016 loss resurfaced, with many attributing Trump’s win to targeted appeals to young men, including appearances with influencers like Joe Rogan.

The election outcome has intensified concerns over growing right-wing radicalization among young men.

    The race is narrower than I would’ve expected because Harris’s right-wing heelturn fucked the down ballot races. I genuinely believe that lowered turnout in big numbers

      A portion of voters didn’t even know Joe Biden had dropped from the race or why. Everyone thinking it’s merely that the policies weren’t progressive enough is clueless about the information environment many Americans live in today.
