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.
The answer is simple. It is not easy. The DNC needs to be replaced ground up with people that push for real change. The hard part is pushing out people in positions of power that don’t want to give it up because they benefit from the status quo.
I wish you all the luck in gathering voters behind your cause
Thanks. The good news is that if I’m right, we both win.
I also hope that those similar to your ideals focus on building you up for your common values, rather than arm chair criticisms while ignoring the deeply problematic other side of the equation.
And your plan to do that is…what?
Organizing in person for change and being loud about it. Part of that is helping people direct their anger in the right place by pointing out the problem. It’s a lot easier to effect change when you’ve got a critical mass of people that are pissed off and want the same change.
