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.
No empathy for anyone who voted for this and gets burned. The hard truth is they want the subjugation to happen. Otherwise they would have voted for anyone else.
Lemmy is such an echo chamber that the terminally online here can’t fathom the idea of someone voting against their own interests. But go out and talk to some people, you’ll find them.
I hear them all the time. My wife talked to a lesbian who was MAGA. It just makes no sense - this women thinks she’ll live in a “safe” state (meaning, blue) but wants cheaper groceries.
That’s not how any of this works.
Can we just have a mass extinction event before January 20?
Sigh yeah we’ve got those dumbasses
I believe there are such people. But I don’t believe the female republican voter group is homogeneous.
The world is a colourful and diverse place. There are not only people wanting to be subjugated, but also those who are braindead, absolutely uninformed, scared shitless by propaganda, too naive to believe in the existence of evil… it takes all kinds to make a world.
I don’t think stupid people deserve bad things to happen to them, even though they often bring it on themselves as well as on others.
Sweet dreams are made of these…
