Campaigning on Hate
The type of men we choose the bear over, are the men who got Trump elected, and that was intentional.
The selection of Vance for VP, in all his toxic masculinity. The encouragement of frat bros parties to get out the vote among them. Elon Musk literally bribing the vote with his $1 million giveaway in Pennsylvania, the state that clinched it for Trump (how tf is that even legal?!?!). The targeting Latin and Black men in their campaigning. This was their campaign strategy, and it worked.
The men who have little regard for women as equals, and get mad about the rich auntie trend, where women are building their wealth and choosing not to get married on purpose. The incels, the nationalists, the ones who seek “trad wives,” the ones who never emotionally aged, the ones who engage in sex addictions because they want connection, but don’t want their toxic trauma responses questioned. They are the same ones who harm us. 80% of women in the US have been harassed or assaulted. 99% of the perpetrators are men. Those are the men I am talking about.
Is this what 2 party politics have become. Kamala Harris didn’t get enough of the left to vote, because 1. She’s mixed and for some reason faced more backlash for it than Barrack Obama did (and he did, to be clear). And 2. She couldn’t stand on policy enough to motivate enough people. The right can’t win on policy either…
