McKenna, who is 24 and lives in a rural, conservative state, recently got back on dating apps after a year of finding herself. She had two first dates planned for this weekend, but after Donald Trump won the election, she cancelled both.
“It’s heartbreaking to know that in this country you only matter if you’re a straight white man,” she said. “It’s just devastating that we’re at this point. So I will not let another man touch me until I have my rights back.”
How do you respond to this nonsense? Ultimately, she is the one who will suffer. The potential dates dodged a bullet and will, hopefully find a date who is well balanced. The Internet is full of this stuff since the Trump victory. They really believe the lies, really believe that someone will come for them, that the Handmaid’s Tale is about to become reality. One video I saw – I think Matt Walsh was showing it – some idiotic woman thought that she would become a slave. Yes, dear, that was a core policy that he campaigned on, repeal of the 13th amendment and the reintroduction of slavery. FFS! Seriously, how do you respond to such hysterical claptrap?
Also, these are the same women who decry the MGTOW movement. You can’t have it both ways.
The childish mass hysteria is on the one hand, funny, but on the other, deeply disturbing as it shows just how deeply embedded this psychosis really is. These people are grown adults yet they behave like spoiled two-year olds because their side lost an election.
Obviously nobody can reason with these self-obsessed people. All we can do is point, laugh, and move on.
At least they’re identifying themselves for everyone to see and avoid.
I see this as positive moves. Soy boys won’t get any chicks as the loonies will be playing hard to get. Abortion rates will plummet because even soy boys have one or two active sperm. Only the sane chicks will be out there and it’ll be easier to find a decent non crazy slapper because not all have blue hair.
Whats not to like if you are a normal person.
Won’t this increase the chances of Trump like people winning in twenty something years?
Fertility decreases as a woman gets older and sadly there is no way to tell which women can take the risk and which can’t!
Infantilisation of society, decreasing IQs, wokery is a helluva combination.
Mother: “When are you going to meet a fine man and give me grandbabies?”
Daughter: “Not until after the progressives win back the Presidency.”
Mother: “WTF!”
I’ve heard from horses mouths some absolute howlers, ie 30 something lesbian couple in my circle actually thought they could end up dead either from Brexit or Trump winning.
We’re not talking minimum wage drop outs here, both are highly qualified professionals.
The demographic elephant in the room doesn’t even register.
Try mentioning the name Trump or especially Tommy Robinson its like you’ve just pulled the pin and rolled a grenade through the door.
Seemingly the more educated and institutionalised they are the more fully they swallow the narrative, what went wrong.
In the world of Victorian high society you could lose your social position for saying unacceptable things. The 1930s dinner party set could oust anyone who showed bad manners. And now anyone who is not woke enough or wet enough or doesn’t signal the ‘proper’ virtues gets ‘cancelled’ from polite society.
It’s not really about politics (no matter what the activists say) it’s about ‘class’. If you doubt it just look at the actions of the current Labour government – class war is a better description of the motivation behind their actions than most others.
“Karen, Why you play hard to get when you’re already hard to want?”
“It’s less demoralising that way”
As we are increasingly finding, one half of society seeks to preserve free speech while the other half demands the right to be outraged at full volume
Read earlier that some are shaving their heads and getting tattoos – if you really, genuinely believed that death squads were shortly to be hunting you down, would you make yourself more, or less, distinctive?
This might amuse … somewhat.

Deliberately trying to make yourself as repellent as possible is a wonderful strategy for … something or another, I suppose.
Where I work (I go in two days a week), I have been hearing this surreal, Pavlovian, mindlessly anti-trump rage from people who I am frankly amazed to be hearing it from.
Like when we left toytown austria-hungary but on steroids, speed, crack, fentanyl, mercury fumes and fuck knows what else!
These are people who’s judgement and abilities – on work related issues – I would trust implicitly and who I would not put down as any sort of political ideologue.
But when a Trump or Farage turns up, well, it’s like some sort of weird epilepsy that seems to shut down all higher functions, critical thinking and ability to do anything other than parrot mindless bigotry.
Der Sturmer? The silence is deafening!
And we’re not talking youngsters either, a few of them are only a couple of years behind me.
I know. Some of my acquaintances are like it. I have learned to avoid politics if I want to remain friends. On everything else, it’s fine, but TDS is debilitating.
I do, very much.
The only two times I’ve actually seen it is when we left toytown austria-hungary and the Donald. Nigel doesn’t seem to warrant spontaneous outbursts generally.
Nobody prompted it, they just felt they needed to vent.
It’s weird and can’t get my head round it. I like to think I can at least rationalise – while obviously disagreeing – most forms of fringe politics (dignifying it with a title) and off the planet thinking. I can at least say, “OK, I can see why somebody might think like that”.
It sort of helps.
No need to say anything though. We are right and they probably know it, hence the rage.
I suspect they will have shut up before the Donald formally takes office.
