Toxic masculinity isn’t a thing.


Of course it is.


It isn’t. It’s a caricature and a sexist concept.


Lucky you. Guess you've never had the pleasure of meeting some of the sexually entitled jackasses out here.


Jackasses exist of both the male and female variety. That doesn’t make your concept anything other than a leftist meme.


BOTH SIDES BOTH SIDES BOTH SIDES!!!!

You might want to ask the question, what did we do to drive the majority of voters to overwhelmingly elect someone who has all the traits you think of Donald. What drove the popular vote to come out overwhelmingly for a felon? How bad were the Democrats to force that to happen?

If you’re wondering "what happened" you need to look in the mirror.

My personal favorite about Trump is that he likely paid for an abortion or more but is credited with saving aborted children. It's all fake. I tell my sons that politicians are sleazy and there are better people in the world to look up to.

What did they tell them when Hillary Clinton was discussing bringing young men committing crimes in New York "to heel"?

What did they tell them when "Three Strikes" resulted in young men spending 25 years in prison when their third strike/ offense was stealing food?



I don't even know the last two. They hardly made the news and the third one I don't see related to the presidency.

On the first one OMG I heard about how awful Clinton was for that for a good 20 years from the Trumper in my family and how he brought down the morality of the white house. What I feel is different there is that Clinton wasn't talking openly about this to where you kept having to tell a child these werent beliefs to follow and it really was a setup by the right so the right with Ken Starr seemed just as slimy to me even as a young adult. And it happened in office not before and he was impeached because of it. So it wasn't like you had to say to a child he got away with this. There were consequences. With Trump people simply do not care about his misdeeds and write them off even before electing him. Just the other day I heard him talk about merging up with some potties after a speech. He just does it with abandon now and those same people who were after Clinton totally do not care now. Total hypocrites.


He is reading the room. People don't care because they are tired of having to filter through politics to understand what a politician is claiming they can offer.


Whatever. I totally lost respect for my republican family member after going on decades long tirade about Clinton's immorality only to ignore Trump's immorality and then later go off on Pelosi as evil only to find out that she didn't care one whit about how Pelosi only got her job after a decades long pedophile Dennis Hastert had to step down. How often do you hear about him disgracing the office? It turned me against any of her fake morality issues from then on. Now of course she thinks the democrats are the house of pedophiles despite Trump hanging with Epstein and believed that stupid Christian movie that came out on catching predators without looking up the truth on it all the while never speaking up about the ones of her political party or church. Hypocrites. It's just hating like hating a team. There is no actual morality behind these things. It's just evil actually and narcissistic trying to make others out to be evil who don't have the same labels as themselves. It's really just all about themselves. Not policy. Not morals. I tell my son some people want a label to make themselves look moral and American and make others look bad but its better to act moral and live by American values yourself.


You are right about some people just being hateful. But there is nothing you can do about those people. However there are others who are just fed up. And the proof of that is Obama's easy election. Romney was a moderate Republican and he still lost to Obama. Why is that? People want change.

There are fed up people who voted for Trump. You cannot pretend that everyone who voted for Trump likes the guy.

I saw a great segment awhile back on MSNBC about how young men feel so lost. It is engrained in them to be the protector and provider. Women no longer want that from them, and rightfully so. But now they don’t know their place in society.

And so they turn to social media and the internet. They can so very quickly get sent into an algorithm that is beyond terrifying. My sister demonstrated this for her son, saving TikToks along the way to show him all at once how a simple search for “Trump vs Harris” turned into far right propaganda.

When my son was in middle school, he got into the “Male rights” propaganda. He was a Boy Scout and it started when he searched the topic of letting girls into Boy Scouts. Once I realized it, we had a great conversation. Then we watched On the Basis of Sex, which had a profound impact on him.

I think Gen Z is about to get a giant lesson in getting news from social media. They refused to vote democrat because of Gaza. Now they will see Trump wipe Gaza off the map entirely. I hope this is a turning point for them.

I did not tell my sons anything because they are busy building their lives for themselves to become great.

I taught self-reliance early on, to not depend upon the govt to give you preferential treatment or handouts. They have learned they are responsible for their actions, not the govt.

Some Democrats may want to scream at them, “You got all that extra White privilege now your man won, I hope you choke on it!” But they have been taught to rise above the crawling cockroaches of the earth and go about your business.

What is wrong with you people. Calm down. You did this to yourselves with your woke insanity. Maybe you should tell your son it was the people who asked your father to put pronouns in his bio that gave the country Donald Trump and to stay as far way from those people as humanely possible?


clap clap clap clap


There are a lot of difficult things that an adult person or president needs to deal with in life. And you and Trump don't even seem to be able to handle a pronoun.


And I don't talk about my pronouns ever. I barely know what that is and I don't care. I've got a lot more important crap to deal with and so do you.


If you refuse to announce your pronouns, you are exhibiting your transphobia.

You do not want to be perceived as transphobic, do you?

Please announce your pronouns.


If you announce your pronouns you're transphobic. Don't announce your pronouns. This is all that LatinX BS all over again.

Ask me how I know.

Whether a child has a strong father or no father they need to grow up respecting that they are not entitled to grab another human being.

These things have always been okay. Trump is literally nothing new. He may be saying the quiet part loud, but the reason Trump was elected is that these things have always been the way we do things here.

He changes literally nothing. That's the whole point. He wants to "make America great again" by returning to the way things have always been.

And Trump sows discord and chaos. His policies benefit the rich and increase the national debt. So if you mean what you say, voting against him is the obvious choice.

Dream on. It's been a long ugly fight for decades for certain groups to get some basic rights. An election setback does not interfere with that long long battle.
