There was particular glee in Trump’s takedown of Vice President Kamala Harris, whose gender and multiracial heritage were relentlessly attacked in the “manosphere,” a loose network of misogynistic communities with influence through gaming, social media and other cultural forces.

A network poll shows that 49 percent of men 18 to 29 voted for Trump; the number was 53 percent for men ages 30 to 39, an increase over 2020 results in both categories.

“Gender is the story of this election in a lot of ways,” Miller-Idriss said.

Christian supremacists urged followers to drop to their knees in prayerful gratitude for the defeat of the “Demon-crats” and for the victory of a man they say will usher in “Bible-based governance.”

In order of who got what they wanted:

Men

White christian nationalist men and women

Latino men

Young men

Basically, men and brainwashed women who believe they should be subservient to them.

The 2 decades a good portion of them spent in foreign deserts while be pumped full of Faux Spews didn't help. When they returned and didn't get that 9/11 style adulation that firemen got...they were pissed.

Ahem, Vietnam? Don’t blame veterans. It’s not a military problem. It’s a man problem. Our culture pushes men to be a certain way, and makes them feel bad when they are not that way. Education helps get over this, but most people are getting little to no education.
