"The day after Donald Trump won the 2024 presidential election, Afghanistan’s Taliban offered its congratulations to the American people for 'not handing leadership of their great country to a woman.'”
~ Heather Cox Richardson
But, of course, let us not forget that "the Democrats" and Biden and Harris are the REAL problem.

“Fascist opposition to gender studies, in particular, flows from its patriarchal ideology. National Socialism targeted women’s movements and feminism generally; for the Nazis, feminism was a Jewish conspiracy to destroy fertility among Aryan women.”
~ Jason Stanley, How Fascism Works: The Politics of Us and Them, p. 43).

“There was perhaps no clearer measure of white solidarity than the actions of white women in 2016. The majority of them — 53 percent — disregarded the common needs of women and went against a fellow white woman to vote with their power trait, the white side of their identities to which Trump appealed, rather than help an experienced woman, and themselves, make history.”
~ Isabel Wilkerson, Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents, p. 328
William Lindsey :toad:
"the angry white men who propped up Trump’s return to the White House ignored everything they say they valued – the military, law enforcement and God – to give into the rage of white grievance, the 'pastiche of sweaty anger' that the Trump-Vance campaign peddled, and to the fear and violence embedded in the 'great replacement' theory.
Once again, unfortunately, the anger about a multi-racial democracy has put the viability of the United States in jeopardy."

"Sexist and abusive attacks on women, like 'your body, my choice' and 'get back to the kitchen,' have surged across social media since Donald Trump’s reelection, according to an analysis from the Institute for Strategic Dialogue."

"This is nothing new. White male anger, especially at the nation’s inclusion of African Americans, has repeatedly privileged white supremacy over the viability of the United States. ...
Similarly, today, despite the warnings from generals who served with Trump, police officers who endured the attacks on January 6, and a God-fearing then vice-president Mike Pence who was targeted for a hanging with gallows constructed during the insurrection,"
William Lindsey :toad:
"As much as pundits and voters may point to the economy or immigration or crime as the reason voters backed Trump, the truth is that Trump offered virtually nothing in the way of actual policy on any of those issues. He offered instead the promise of masculine strength and male dominance, of men returned to their rightful positions of authority in the White House and in houses across America."

"The fact that Donald Trump’s candidacy was even viable, given that horrific track record, was because of the support of white men. …
And let’s be clear. Trump has laid out an agenda that will provide the 'wages of whiteness' to his male supporters but very little else. The racist hate that undergirds Maga can only provide threadbare comfort."
~ Carol Anderson
Societies have their idols, it's clear.

"As the election results trickled in on the night of 5 November and into the next morning, and as Donald Trump gained a larger and larger advantage, a decades-old Germaine Greer quote kept dancing through my head: 'Women have very little idea of how much men hate them.'”

"In the increasingly non-hypothetical world ruled by far-right Trumpists, the blissful servitude of women must be insured by removing their control over their bodies, and ideally, actually, by removing them from the public sphere altogether."
