The man told jurors he spent hours listening to far-right podcasts before breaking into the Pelosi home and attacking the then-Speaker’s husband with a hammer.

Misgony.
From a high level.
The details are interesting, but in the end it’s drama caused by frail male egos that led to a ton of misgony.
Of note here is Steve Bannon, who owned several WOW gold farming operations at one point, specifically targeted gamergate as a recruitment arm for the alt right.
Gamergate was used directly by the Trump campaign to unify disenfranchised young men to vote for Trump. The numbers were so close in the 3 swing states when he won in 2016, a total of only 40k votes, you can say quite honestly that it won him that election.
I missed this entire thing unfold.
I got you, fam.

Thanks. I thought this was recent given the Pelosi attack, but it was a long time ago, and this was just the flip point for him.
