Summary

Donald Trump’s re-election has fueled a surge in misogynistic, homophobic, and racist rhetoric among young men, reportedly emboldened by the president-elect’s history of inflammatory remarks about women.

In schools, boys have been caught using phrases like “your body, my choice” against female peers, prompting districts like Minnesota’s Hopkins Public Schools to issue warnings to parents about harassment.

The impact extends beyond schools, with activists on Texas State University’s campus displaying signs asserting that “women are property.”

This hostile climate has left many women feeling unsafe as a new far-right administration takes power.

            Don’t say that, the concept of the middle class is so that the poor people thing they have more money than other people and won’t revolt

                The important part is to make your subscription to your car and your subscription to your house a big enough part of your pay check, so that you are afraid if you use too much electricity your budget for your food will not be enough. For everyone else make sure they need Netflix, HBO, YouTube premium, reddit coins, and every thing else to get into the same situation

                Then make it so you are afraid to lose your job because you can’t save up for a rainy day fund.

                Then be afraid of the rain

                Now the rest is slowly boiling the frog, so you are used to it

          Those 40% are Nazi sympathizers. Or Nazi simps, if you will.

            At the very minimum they are ok with Nazis so long as they don’t directly impact them, or they don’t think they will be directly impacted by them

          I am legit debating about quitting my job because my supervisor (in NJ) said that he didn’t vote because he didn’t like either candidates, he felt his Christian values were not embodied by either of the candidates. I just wanted to be like “bitch, how about at least vote against someone who spits at those values”. Up until now I respected him, I thought he was knowledgeable at work and just assumed that he would be knowledgeable about outside world too.

      More like 22% when you look at the numbers. 40% of the electorate could give two shits who runs the country.

        And people need to stop giving that 40% a free ride. They also wanted this. Fuck them.

        We have the same issue in Ontario where our conservative leader Doug Ford won a majority with like 19% of Ontarians actually voting for him. This means for the majority of Ontarians they were comfortable sitting at home fingering their grandma. So fuck them yes they did want this.

      A slim majority of voters. 68 million to 73 million last I checked. Not even a third of the population.

        71MM to 74MM as of right now on CNN. Trump nearly the same number of votes he got in 2020, within ~30k or so.

      5.5 million out of over 300 million is hardly a majority.

        More like 74.2 millions out of over 231 millions eligible to vote. Still not a majority, but the 86 millions who didn’t vote are at least complicit. And 160 millions are a majority.
