We had a black president, but, not to put too fine of a point on it, HE IS MALE!!!!

I'm not disparaging Obama, but we really need to face head on, the role of fundy fanatic fright wing churches who have been pushing male domination and supremacy hard, but also the role of misogyny in defeating two female candidates who were and ARE vastly more qualified for the job than Piss Wig, who has now been elected to the highest and most powerful job in the world. And his sole claim to being qualified? He has a dick ( such that it is).

A tenet of White ( faux) Christian Nationalism is that men are ' superior ', and therefore should get to dominate everyone and everything, even to the point of violent attacks against anyone who opposes them. This was a tenet of the KKK and of Nazi Germany.

May patriarchy fall. May they taste nothing but the ashes of defeat.

I live in a very very red area of California. My neighbor told me his daughter, who is in 8th grade, came home from school and said all the boys were celebrating the fact that they wouldn't have to have a woman President. The misogyny starts at home, obviously.

That being said I honestly don't think Biden would have won a second term either, even if he were 20 years younger.

What really worried me about this election was the MAGA rage at Trump losing in 2020. All they could see was revenge, and if they had to burn down the country to get it--just like they tried to destroy the Capital--who cares? They get to "stick it to the libs". They can't see they are sticking it to themselves as well. By the time they realize it, it will be too late.

pay attention to the issues just look at the person and label them.

That's is why racists have below average Intelligence

This is a very big, deep problem and it always has been and always will be. Nothing changes, everything stays the same in the long run.

Societies/cultures, religions, politicians, leaders, rule makers and breakers, etc are male dominated and it will continue. They want power, control, money and violence. That is how and why they continue for thousands of years and will continue until humans are eliminated from the planet completely. All of the humans must be destroyed because they destroy themselves and do not learn any lessons. History has shown us this. I am a realist and a misanthrope. I am certainly not the first person to have this view.
