And it just seems to feed their supporters’ persecution fetish, as it did with Trump.

When you’re a demagogue, they let you do it. I just grab the country by the pussy, I don’t wait.
I saw a comment from a conservative recently who was hoping that Trump would create term limits for congress. Like, how delusional can you be?
That’s generally the consensus, that young men are roughly as conservative as they were historically, but women are more left-wing (although maybe a bit less than expected, given recent election results).
Results from Reagan’s 1980 election win look fairly similar: https://ropercenter.cornell.edu/how-groups-voted-1980, excepting that women and men were voting in similar ways for each age group, and bigger margins to Reagan in the older groups.
EDIT: Nevermind this doesn’t actually show age by gender data.
It was mostly the girls doing that, and they haven’t gone as hard right.
It’s rumored Jeffries was instrumental in the congestion pricing delay (that may now be a permanent delay).
Yeah, it would have just been feeding their infinitely expandable persecution fetish. The same goes for the legal cases against Trump. It was the right thing to do, but it just meant that Trump supporters dug in their heels even more.
Silver linings and all of that. Lake is a real piece of work and now a two-time loser.
The irony being that healthy teeth don’t look anywhere near that white.
It’s not just men that believe this either. Internalised misogyny is still a thing, unfortunately.
Nah, it’s definitely him. It looks to be an error in the caption. Or his lawyer looks uncannily like his client.
It can work if it’s combined with batteries. And heat pumps are a no brainer, even in cold regions.
Life imitating art. And it’s unsurprising that these people have the maturity of teenage boys.
I stopped playing online games some years back because this sort of thing was far too common. And I bet it’s even worse now.
This is pretty much it. The disengaged public needs simple, three-word slogans and they need to stick on message, relentlessly (and it needs to connect emotionally as you said).
And while it goes against every instinct of those who are college educated, you need to say things with over the top confidence. Hedging makes sense in the academic world, but average people trust people with excessive confidence.
I have been reading a lot more since the 2016 result. It wasn’t the only reason, but it was a major one (especially non-fiction).
Internalised misogyny and all of that.
and other department is a bunch of guys in a half ton truck with buckets of water.
More like a bunch of guys actively pouring fuel on the fire while calling fire itself a “liberal hoax”.
It’s plausible that it could be a clear win for either candidate. But yeah, a long, dragged out counting process is also quite probable.
Pretty much, although it’s not just about gender issues. Women have turned more progressive on a variety of issues (climate change, the economy, social issues) whereas men haven’t.
