Devastated Harris voters conclude America just hates women as Trump wins again
Harris supporters seemed shocked by the 2024 election results that indicated the U.S. is moving more right than left
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.

I don't think that way, personally.
I think that America is just dumb af. Every stance Republican Voters claim to care about: Trump performs worse on. But they were told he was their guy by Facebook, TikTok, YouTube, Twitter, etc. Money won the race.
Don’t underestimate misogyny / bro culture in the US. Combine that with machismo in some subcultures and the weird religious beliefs that women should be subservient and at home making babies and we’ll never see a female president at this rate.
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.
I'm not really underestimating it, it's clearly there and a very huge problem, but if Harris was the candidate offering to cut taxes for the rich and Trump was the candidate threatening to change half of all US Cars to electric in 10 years, then the outcome would be opposite to what it was.
If that was true then Obama would have lost and Nikki Haley would have been the Republican nominee.
Our socioeconomic situation almost 20 years ago isn't the same as it is now. The Rich are much richer now than then, the middle class existed in much greater numbers, Russia and China weren't (as much) actively campaigning on the whole US Population's social media, and fossil fuel companies weren't at risk of being phased out.
You know Canada used to make fun of America as a daily pastime. We stopped doing that and now look where we are.
I just assumed that started as a reactionary movement responding to South Park.
Don't overgeneralize. Many of us [edit: US citizens] are not that stupid [edit: and didn't vote for this dumpster fire].
And as one of those I don't appreciate the random asshole insults.
Edit: Calling an entire country stupid when you can't parse that this comment was saying that a large chunk of us didn't vote for Diaper Donnie is very ironic.
You're going to get a lot of random asshole insults as a Trump Voter on this instance, pal.
I didn't vote for Trump ffs... Calling the entire country stupid is an insult to millions of people who knew better. Apparently I didn't make that obvious enough. Yeesh.
Our country is 52.3% absolute morons, I think I was generous.
And that statement is accurate unlike the previous one.
Let's just say the vast majority of the country are morons
I will absolutely agree with that.
But a lot of people in America are stupid. And it’s only going to get worse as these same people continue to vote their children out of a free public education.
Yep, that's all true.
