Summary

Following Trump’s election victory, social media saw a surge in misogynistic rhetoric, with phrases like “Your body, my choice” — promoted by figures like white supremacist Nick Fuentes — trending widely.

The Institute for Strategic Dialogue reported a 4,600% spike in misogynistic language on social media and noted that harassment has spilled into schools.

Trump’s win, amplified by Elon Musk’s support, has emboldened “manosphere” influencers, aligning Trump with anti-feminist figures.

This rise in misogyny comes amid other social shifts, such as the election of two Black female senators, a first in U.S. history.

      That can’t be true. There are people out there that write nice things about Trump.

      What is your alternative? More failure that ends up with fascists in power? Are you pro-Trump?

        The failure was the voters, not the party. That’s who brought the fascists to power. The voters had a choice, a very apparent and obvious choice, to avoid fascism.

          Too lazy to make the meme, but you’re literally personifying the Principal Skinner meme. “Am I out of touch? No, it is the voters who are wrong.”

          Hate the game all you want, the DNC still failed at convincing people that Trump was worse than their corporatist bullshit, because people are desperate for change

            the DNC still failed at convincing people that Trump was worse than their corporatist bullshit

            And how was that not obvious? On a global, ethical, personal rights, life-and-death scale?

            It was a shitty choice, but the choices weren’t equal.

              People are tired of the democrats not delivering and not fighting hard enough. They care more about unity and decorum than delivering for their base, so much so that they abandon the left to court the likes of cheney 🤮.

              The message is clear, if you don’t make concessions or compromises with the left elements of your party, if you don’t get the base on board with your platform, 15 million of us will just sit out the election.

              But please keep blaming the people when Democrats failed on messaging and on milquetoast policy. It happened with corporate ass hilary and corporate ass kamala, the only reason biden won was because of the concessions he made to bernie in the primary coupled with covid and mail in voting directly in peoples minds.

                9.4 million, as of the latest numbers, with Trump securing his highest vote total yet.

        Liberals seem to actively want to fucking continue losing so they can remain the underdogs. The conservatives have no such fucking scruples. They’re in to win.
