It is almost like MAGA is sexist.
They seem to like terrible isms.
Is there a meme of Margaret Atwood looking horrified yet? Because there should be.
Tis is gonna be one of the most delicious schadenfraude of all. They think they are safe, but soon enough they are going to discover how important is being a white straight able-bodied male for these fascists. And how unimportant they are outside of a bedroom or a kitchen.
I will not enjoy seeing all American women being marginalised. I will, however, enjoy seeing Americans finally exercising their right to protest a fascist government.
If you think the average guy is going to be treated any better I've got a bridge to sell you
I've fought tooth and nail against accepting this, but looking at their plans it's becoming unavoidable: This will not end without violence.
Ok so
As a single WASP (ok well, I grew up protestant) male in my 30s, who has the confidence of an abandoned kitten, how exactly does this benefit me?
Like I feel like this is supposed to be about men like me getting more power over women. But I fail to see how that helps me at all.
All I can see is that they start here, remove voting rights next, then they remove the ability for women to be licensed to be doctors, or lawyers, dentists, etc. That's gonna fuck my life up immensely.
Just so women can't have a say? Why?
Conservative views on women are absolutely confusing. I know we have to abandon logic with them, but maybe that's the part I don't understand: how the fuck do I think without logic?
That's the thing: it isn't. The patriarchy is bad for 95% of men, as well, but a huge chunk of those believe it's good for them because at least they're not a woman.
It's not about what's good for you, it's about what's good for the people in power. And as women increasingly turn away from the Republican party, they're going to want to disenfranchise them.
Do remember that it's only some men that will get that power, not all men. WASP is just the start of the verification process for you. The lie that men like you will get this power is what gets regular joes to buy in without realizing they'll never see those promises materialize.
I've worked enough retail to know that there are plenty of people out there who will gladly jump at the opportunity to be a petty tyrant themselves.
Conservatives believe hierarchies are natural and unavoidable. If you can push someone else down on the hierarchy then that will put you higher up on the hierarchy then you were before. Shrinking someone else's piece of the pie leaves more pie available for you.
Leftists believe in making a bigger pie.
Also sharing the pie equitably
I actually think it's more targeted toward the Andrew Tate and Fresh and Fit follower types, and the propaganda does appear to be working on younger men, who are rapidly becoming more "conservative." They're extremely insecure in their masculinity, and think the subservience of women would be affirming.
Of course, it actually just hurts everyone, barring the people that benefit from keeping the working class divided.
They needed conservative women to vote this felon. And now they don't need them because he plans to stay forever. This will happen with everyone that supported him. He has disdain for everyone except himself. He will turn on everyone. His ego is massive and he is power trippin' right now. I can't wait until he tries to fire the Supreme Court and not replace anyone. Trump Jong Un coming soon. When they complete a border wall with Canada, we are locked in.

When are they going to start coming for the black folks so we can watch Clarence Thomas squirm?
You mean so we can watch him vote yes on it?
I'm not from the US: What happened to Katie Britt, who gave her response to Biden's State of the Union address from her kitchen? Is she happy now? I mean, not that I wanted to criticize anyone, but that was totally obvious even before the election.
No, no, no. She's not one of those women, you see. That's for the other women.
There are willing to become tradwife after all.
