On 6 November I broke cover and returned to the world of blogging because… well, you know why.
To me, it was obvious AF why you crazy yankees voted Agent Orange back into the presidency. While the official post-mortem has taken a while, it seems I was right:
Yup, men delivered the election to Donald Trump. Well done lads, you are officially to blame. Obviously not all men, but enough.
Men recoiling against liberalism is a worldwide phenomenon, with the manosphere insisting liberalism is toxic, anti-male, and everywhere.
Just ask Jordan Peterson, Andrew Tate, Alexander Grace, Bjorn Andreas Bull-Hansen, Rich Cooper, etc…
I’m not giving unequal weight to the noisiest voice in the crowd or letting the algorithm define my reality.
Not when it’s clear that many (if not most) men just don’t give a shit. Not when we know that women (etc) aren’t to blame.
And yet there were 25% less young males who voted blue.
Why?
Men are definitely sick of being scolded, ridiculed and blamed by women. Men are definitely sick of the insinuation that all men is a potential rapists, thugs, or paedophiles.
And a lot of men are sick of mean girls benefiting from mean rules that leave men last.
I thought all this wokery was about equality, not revenge?
But the trend might also be pure pragmatism, because (at least in the US), conservatism improved men’s wages during the Orange Years.
Labor force participation rates and education, down for men. Insecurity, emasculation and resentment, up.
The swinging young male voter knew Trump was an asshole but didn’t care. They know he was a racist and a liar, but didn’t care. What they did notice was that he grabs ’em by the pussy and gets away with it.
For lost boys anxious to define their masculinity in a “woke” world, Trump offers an easy brand of macho badboy bullshit they can mimic. It helped a lot that the Democrats (and liberal governments everywhere) forgot to campaign to young men.
So by November 5 they lads weren’t just ready to fight, fight, fight, they were ready to vote, vote, vote.
And the rest is his story.
