Summary
Donald Trump’s re-election has fueled a surge in misogynistic, homophobic, and racist rhetoric among young men, reportedly emboldened by the president-elect’s history of inflammatory remarks about women.
In schools, boys have been caught using phrases like “your body, my choice” against female peers, prompting districts like Minnesota’s Hopkins Public Schools to issue warnings to parents about harassment.
The impact extends beyond schools, with activists on Texas State University’s campus displaying signs asserting that “women are property.”
This hostile climate has left many women feeling unsafe as a new far-right administration takes power.
No; definitely wary of those who advocate for armed insurgency against governments without a plan, exit strategy, and explicitly outlined intent for governance if successful.
I don’t disagree that it’d be a good idea, but also I don’t think any revolution has had this. The US, for example, didn’t have The Articles of Confederation finalized until November of 1777. The Declaration of Independence, as I’m sure we know, was signed on July 4, 1776. They didn’t have things ironed out for more than a year, and that version failed horribly.
If we need a revolution, we shouldn’t let having specifics nailed down be a requirement. It’s nice to have, and should be considered, but I don’t think I know of a revolution that has done so ever.
