Summary

Many Democrats, especially women, expressed disillusionment and frustration online, viewing the result as a reflection of deep-seated misogyny in the U.S.

Harris supporters highlighted anger that a “felony convicted, twice-impeached” Trump prevailed over a female candidate.

Comparisons to Hillary Clinton’s 2016 loss resurfaced, with many attributing Trump’s win to targeted appeals to young men, including appearances with influencers like Joe Rogan.

The election outcome has intensified concerns over growing right-wing radicalization among young men.

    Don’t overestimate it, either. Even places where that “machismo” is in the dominant culture have managed to elect women as presidents.

    You know what the real difference is? Their woman presidents aren’t useless fucking neoliberals.

      Yup. Most of Central and South America have already had female leaders.
