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.
Yeah, that’s the other thing that baffles me. Like, don’t get me wrong - I wish it wasn’t the case, but the American electorate is clearly racist and sexist. So what does the DNC do? Nominate (or really, designate) a non-white lady. 🤦♂️
I totally get this. I wonder if they will be this fucking stupid the next time around, assuming we still have elections.
When Biden was not stepping down at first, I was like, well, we are fucked. Then he selected her and I thought the same. Then she came out of the gate and it was like the dawning of a new day, especially when she picked Walz and my hopes went up. Then they started hemming Walz in, and she started tacking to the right?
For real they should have just straight up picked Walz as the nominee. He was WAY better at connecting with normal people than Harris was. And he was a white dude, which in America, translates to “a viable candidate”.
