Trump’s win has given angry incels enormous power | Arwa Mahdawi
The masks were never exactly on to begin with – social media was a hotbed of bigotry long before Trump’s victory. But winning has emboldened his followers
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.
“Your body, my choice.”
It's been a while since text on a screen has made me feel so sick...
So many qons are still mentally and emotionally stuck at the very worst version of an entitled 14 year old boy.
Well it probably doesn't help that over half of white women want to be treated this way
They didn't vote for this. They voted for other women to be treated this way. Whores. Sluts.
Not them. Because they are Christian and blessed™.
Their husbands/boyfriends/pastors will never treat them that way.
Until they do and then they'll be Pikachu face.
"The leopards would never eat my face!" smh
I think some percentage of them voted for "but the price of mah eggs and bacon" bullshit, too and put their head in the sand on any of the many blinking lights around donnie and friends...
Until they do and then they’ll be Pikachu face.
Unfortunately, they will just internalize it and convince themselves that it was something they did to prompt it.
And voted for it
The fact that they are complete morons doesn't mean they want to be treated this way. It is a case for the leopards, but saying this is not helpful to the potential victims from both camps.
Please, keep your empathy for women in general, they're going to need it now more than ever.
No empathy for anyone who voted for this and gets burned. The hard truth is they want the subjugation to happen. Otherwise they would have voted for anyone else.
Lemmy is such an echo chamber that the terminally online here can't fathom the idea of someone voting against their own interests. But go out and talk to some people, you'll find them.
If they didn't want to be treated this way by people who loudly stated that they were going to treat them that way then they shouldn't have elected people who loudly and unabashedly told them that they were going to codify treating them that way.
I've got empathy in spades for women of color, they were allies, white women though, very little sympathy and should be called out for betraying other women and the rest of us.
"If you want roses, one must mind the thorns."
They voted for a racist, rapist with felony convictions and a pending prison sentence.
They may have not wanted to be treated like property but they are going to be. And if they don't like that, they can leave....except the very people they voted for are removing the ability for women to leave their husbands.
And even if they leave, even if they get to a safe place, I fucking guarantee you that they will still vote for Republicans.
If you want to give those women empathy, by all means. These women are about to experience fascism in a way they have never seen before. But don't think for a second they wouldn't vote for it again because of their values™.
But I didn't know it will be applied to ME, just to the people I hate!
Alt: idiot and ex-president George Bush Jr who helped Trump achieve a position of vast power pointing out how weird he was acting at the swearing in in 2017
If history is any indication - remember how ANGRY the qons were the last time their precious donvict "won"? There were explosions of their rage all over the place, and that's after they supposedly "won". Just what they thought they won, who the hell knows. And even after four years, it seems almost none of them figured out that he did jack squat for them.
They are poised to get even less laid than they get now. :) Combine that with their slow realization that, no, there is no one that is going to praise them just because their loser is in office, and indeed, the mockery is going to increase, and they are going to be vewy, vewy angry. Aw, sad emoji.
Yea I remember this same thing. He won and they were even angrier.
Because it’s not like trump being in the White House is suddenly going to make women not be immediately repelled when they show up, mansplain Joe Rogan, and call her a femoid.
They fell for it again. This time he’s really really gonna make it great. Him and jd Vance have some really novel ideas about lowering the age women can get married and making it impossible to get divorced, so finally they can have a child bride or some shit.
It’s super gross and I hope they end up jerking it to trump fanfic every night crying themselves to sleep.
He won and they were even angrier.
You'll notice the same thing happened when the caught the car with that repealing 50 years of settled law when it came to Roe, too. They were fucking LIVID. I ran into many instances of this IRL. One raging Karen was practically crying she was so hopping mad. I mean, this is someone that would embrace compelled religious (xtian of course, and only THEIR kind of xtianity, naturally) attendance and teaching of their xtianity in public schools.
I let her rage on for a bit, then calmly asked her - but isn't this what you people WANTED? Total incoherent answer, just about sobbing about how this would galvanize those people that hate the donvict, hate (their) god, and so on....
That's why the Heritage Foundation is going to reclassify rape as a property crime against the woman's father or husband.
Do angry incels want to spend more on electronics?
They look forward to buying robot wives, so...yeah. And yeah, those will probably have very high tariffs if those sexbots are going to be bought under donnie's regime.
angry incels
Was “conservatives” too many letters?
All that power and they still can't get laid.
Be even shittier, surely it will work eventually.
What is their "power" going to be, anyway? Is donnie promising a pussy in every pot?
I think these just might be jerking off more often because this excites them so much....not sure what donnie dumbfuck is going to do for any of them other than thinking they can lord something over women....but they still aren't getting laid. 🤣
trumps win has given incels even more stupidity than they were born with
I don't think they're born with it so much as born immediately into it. They have fucked up relationships to women because of their fucked up relationship to their mothers, and fucked up attraction styles because of whatever relations were modeled for them right from the first months. No doubt many of their fathers are also insufferable assholes, of whom their mothers were victims. They were raised this way, and encouraged by rage-bait media, foreign and domestic.
Given perceived power, the law and moral standards of decency will be there whether they know it or not.
Ok I’m deeply saddened we’ve never elected two black women to the senate at the same time before. That shouldn’t be a 2024 milestone that should be a 1994 milestone
it's a joke. the same thing happened the first time he won. roe v wade hadn't been overturned yet, so the jokes were different, but it was basically a flood of "cry about it liberals/cope seethe" etc. this reaction is exactly the intended response. it will die out in a few more days.
Remember to direct your anger in the right place:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Democratic_National_Committee#Current_leadership
Their failures gave us Trump and empowered nasty people like this. The entire structure needs replacing ground-up with people that aren't gobbling corporate cock.
Remember to direct your anger in the right place:
There, I fixed that for you. The people who embraced Trump and refused to hold him accountable in any way > the people who have ineffectually been trying to get rid of him.
The RNC is Winning™. Why would they change?
Is the DNC so bad that millions of individuals sat on their hands and allowed a wannabe despot get control of the country (and Congress)? Nah. DNC ain’t perfect, but the non-voters and third party voters are fucking petty dipshits who absolutely have a hand in whatever comes out of the MAGAverse.
I for sure think that the DNC aren't to blame in the same way that a firefighter who uses a garden hose to try to put out a burning house isn't responsible for the smoking ruins when there are other people throwing molotovs through the windows, slashing the tires of the firetrucks, and getting the neighbors to throw bricks at the firefighters.
That being said, if my house was on fire and it was clear that I couldn't get the active vandals to stop despite them burning themselves in the process, I think it's justified to work on replacing or training the firefighters to be more competent and/or rutheless with dealing with the threat.

Yes. Did you watch the election?
Is the DNC so bad that millions of individuals sat on their hands and allowed a wannabe despot get control of the country (and Congress)?
Yes.
Maybe fix the structure - the whole voting system - rather than just putting more of the same into the never ending circle jerk?
Democrats had their chance to make reforms and ignored it. Both parties oppose election reform because it threatens their [current] control.
The people are to blame.
America voted for Trump, but you're going to blame the people who were working extremely hard to offer a viable alternative?
Eh, how is that helpful? No one "gave us Trump" but the qons.
In a FPTP voting system, one party dicking around and fucking up is equivalent to giving you the other option. It's not fun or cool, but it's true.
