Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

Summary

Donald Trump’s re-election has fueled a surge in misogynistic, homophobic, and racist rhetoric among young men, reportedly emboldened by the president-elect’s history of inflammatory remarks about women.

In schools, boys have been caught using phrases like “your body, my choice” against female peers, prompting districts like Minnesota’s Hopkins Public Schools to issue warnings to parents about harassment.

The impact extends beyond schools, with activists on Texas State University’s campus displaying signs asserting that “women are property.”

This hostile climate has left many women feeling unsafe as a new far-right administration takes power.

Also, I'm afraid this is not just a "spike", per se, but more like a prelude to much worse, including not just threats.

I saw a post from Nick Fuentes about it. Things will get out of hand.

[–] [email protected] 57 points 2 weeks ago

Hmm maybe enabling these people was a bad idea

Maga is not sending their best. They're bringing crime. They're rapists.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

They're absolutely sending their best.

The problem is what they're best at is being Maga assholes.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

I think op''s comment was a dig at Trump's anti-immigration stance. He often said the same thing except substitute the word immigrants.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 weeks ago

You and MAGA have very different definitions of best, crime, and rape.

[–] [email protected] 89 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Ah yes, economic anxiety. That's why racism and misogyny.

[–] [email protected] 41 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

But they felt poor! That's what is making them so rapey and weird! I mean, eggs cost what, $100 each now?

The thing is: Biden and the Democrat Party made them this way!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 weeks ago

The flet poor thing was the difference maker. I don’t think anyone is saying everyone who voted for trump did so because they felt poor.
