His interview with influencer Adin Ross earlier this week is part of a broader effort to answer Kamala Harris’s nomination with an unabashed courtship of too-online misogynists.
UFC head Dana White, the wife beater, is “a fighter.” North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un is “very tough,” while China’s Xi Jinping is “strong.” Elon Musk, the transphobe who has turned X into a megaphone for bigotry, is a “genius.” So said Donald Trump during his 75-minute livestreamed interview with Adin Ross, the 23-year-old gamer and influencer.
The adjectives and verbs for all of the women they discussed were very different. Kamala Harris was said to be “weak” and “stupid,” Nancy Pelosi and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez were “crazy,” and AOC was described as “ranting” and “screaming.” And, of course, there was that appellation Trump applies to every woman—most famously to Hillary Clinton in their final debate in 2016—who doesn’t supplicate herself before him: “nasty.”
In other words, the interview was vintage Trump—the latest of a million-plus examples proving that, no matter how many smarmy advisers and gullible political reporters insist otherwise, he is incapable of changing who he is for political expediency. He’s an out-and-proud misogynist who intends to appeal to closeted misogynists—and no one should be happier about that fact than Kamala Harris.
As a weird and lonely guy, how the fuck can you hate women? At least assuming they are straight I guess? Although I havent met gay dudes that didn’t belong to at least one group of girlfriends.
Like I get that the group doesn’t do logic, but if you hate women, how the fuck do you expect them to like you?
I’m lonely because I’m insecure. They’re lonely because they hate the thing they want.
It’s like they were never loved as children or something
Women are objects to them. Disobedient little objects that refuse to give men what they need and rightfully deserve. Their dads had a woman that did all the things while getting almost nothing in return, and they expect the same.
I used to be in this camp. It’s a combination of crushing loneliness and sexual frustration. Your self hatred just escalates until someone tells you that women are actually the problem because it’s their fault for not sleeping with you. They have the solution to all your problems and they won’t give it to you because they’re cruel. Generalizing and hating women feels better than hating yourself, plus it requires no self reflection.
Many of them have given up on this entirely. At the more extreme end they straight up want women to be pressured or forced to be with them whether they like them or not.
The want to have women, not love them. They (erroneously) think that’s the solution to their loneliness.
Yeah. That happens a lot. Even if their family did love them not all parents are good at communicating that.
Until very recently the relationships between men and women were not based on liking each other, but on social function.
Culture changed VERY fast in the west in the last 4-5 generations, but not at the same rate everywhere, this is sort of a culture clash.
As a former weird lonely guy who was (and sometimes still is) insecure: just do it. Go out, go plaves, bars, clubs, or maybe just conventions about your favorite hobbies. Just walk up to a girl, smile, say hi, and start a convert. You don’t need to end up in bed or romantically involved, just have conversations, about the weather for all I care. You’ll find that it’s not that scary, they are probably just as scary and lonely as you, and each subsequent conversation gets easier.
You’ll get a few bad experiences for sure, just et them go, don’t be a creep, but soon you’ll get to know this girl you talked to a few times, you like her, and now it will be so much easier to just ask her out.
