Summary
Donald Trump’s 2024 victory reflects growing discontent among a segment of men, especially in the “manosphere” that criticizes women and celebrates traditional gender roles.
Fueled by grievances over shifting social dynamics and economic insecurity, many men view Trump as an embodiment of “alpha male” values. Despite his policies favoring the wealthy, Trump has gained traction among both white and minority men.
His administration’s Project 2025 agenda includes restrictions on reproductive rights, aligning with “red-pilled” anti-feminist sentiments.
Yup and exit polls shows that women didn’t want women’s rights.
Yes, it’s a gender issue, not an economic one, at least that’s what the voters said.
Wait, they didn’t.
If it was an economic issue, why did they vote for the person who has an explicit plan to enact inflation driving tariffs?
Because it’s an economic issue, and the people who voted for Trump are just really, really stupid.
Because the economy has not been working for the common person for a long time, and given a choice between “all is well” and “let’s blow ourselves up”, the second tends to get more turnout.
Feel like there are a lot of people that literally just vote “hopefully something different will be better” with zero regard for what the candidates are apart from which of their parties has the current administration. This is of course really dumb, especially considering what Trump said he wants to do, but the base logic of “this isn’t working for me” is understandable at least. Dems running candidates that represent more of the same again…
I’d add that the fact that the democrat candidate was a woman probably lost her a lot of votes. Which is quite sad nowadays, but I’m sure it was a factor.
Of course it was anti feminist backlash and not genocide, ignoring the pleas of Muslim communities, a hard swing to the right, throwing trans to the wolves, having a black man talk down to black men, a white guy telling Muslims to suck it up, lies about a strong economy.
100% misogyny.
There is nothing the Democrats can do other than move further right. Next time they need someone more racist than Trump. They definitely should never ever move left and stop supporting genocide.
Voted for Kamala, knew she was probably the worst choice the Dems could have picked to try to win the election. For people who don’t understand why, this video is still relevant.
Whereas I would say there is a huge amount of young men not confident in their own sexuality.
Why do some people automatically associate misogyny with homosexuality? Misogyny is about hating women rather than being sexually attracted to men.
I mentioned neither. The fact remains that young men broke for Trump, and Trump had anti-trans advertisements aimed right at them.
