Molly Jong-Fast: How Trump used misogyny to beat Harris

#MollyJongFast argues Donald #Trump used misogyny to discredit and ultimately beat #KamalaHarris. "They sort of did a full-court press on the institutionalized misogyny that is very much a part of American life, and they brought that out," she said.

It's shocking how many gullible people are in this country. Sad too.

[applezaida]

I can’t believe this still works in 2024. We have not progressed at all.

[llobe]

I could not agree more and I find it irritating that it’s not been addressed by many.

[beachgremlin]

They hated her more exactly because she was so very good. The better she got as the campaign went on, the more they used that to inflame the hatred. “How dare she be so smart, so articulate, so personable, so loving, so strong??!!! Who does she think she is??!!” That was their thought process. And there is no way to defeat that.

[thesilentdiva]

In other words, he played on the dummies

[Rick-npvz]

What bothers me is that women voted for trump! Do they hate each other that much?
I mean I know they don't support women's sports but this is way beyond that!

[mountstephen]

Trump lets his supporters be their worst selves, and they’re tickle pink, orange, about it.

[estlhm]

Let's face it prejudice, hatred and lies if advertised very well sells in this country! ( This is the land of confusion)

[janetdeloach]

It wasn't her Fault. It was all on His ranting and raging against his opponent...That is no excuse to elect a lying

[Cmkrs]

😂😂😂 DT had to buy his wives. They wouldnt have looked twice at him unless marrying him helped them achieve their own agendas. Marla might have been the only one mesmerised temporarily but she copped on.

[jamesaita]

Misogyny and racism won. My heart aches knowing I live amongst these deplorables

[lemonmorals]

Mysogyny loves miserable men especially. So many of those guys don't like the misery of being put off by women more educated or wealthy who have choices, so those men can't compete other than by working harder at considerably demeaning or low-pay jobs. Los machos were usually older already-married men that were looked down upon for trying to get with young, unknowing women while working here with wives & children living elsewhere.

[KiloBravo-rd]

This is insane. An effective speaker of word salads.

[wutafungi]

Saying she was a " SUPER EFFECTIVE SPEAKER " is a bit of a stretch ....

[LebronJames-kdpw]

Many would argue she was a terrible speaker. She was known for word salads and being unable to talk off script on her own. That is why she avoided interviews like Joe Rogan.

[SandraSealySeawomanBDS]

Misogny AND racism - periodt. Eddie Glaude called it.😑

[deniseohlalala]

We can blame Trump’s win on conservative media.

[ginablanshard]

we can blame E.M. for practically all of this

[redlilwitchy]

He should not have even been a candidate

[chickentoucher]

lol what over sexualised???? She’s 60 trust me no one finds her appealing just more misinformation from corporate media
