Trump ran against DEI, trans people, immigrants, and “wokeness”.
Trump did not run on a concrete affordability platform. If anything Harris focused on the issue far more. I know this has become a thing people say, but it’s a retcon to paper over the uncomfortable reality that 2024 makes no sense according to conventional wisdom about how to win elections.
A lot of the 2024 postmortem brought out how democrats ran on an abstract "democracy" arguments while trump ran on a concrete affordability platform.

Affordability got Trump's party voted in, and it's what's going to get him voted out, and if Ds lean in on it too hard, will get them voted out too.

if i can't have the world where women are allowed to be anything other than a youthful size 4 i'll at least take the world we're migrating towards now where all male characters have to be jonathan bailey (thin, ripped, pleasant, in no way evokes an alcoholic dad, no wacky jim carrey antics)

i think it would somewhat (not a lot) reduce the amount of pedophilia that objectively takes place in the world if media did not constantly push the idea that characters who are allowed to be silly, chubby, goofy, older, jolly, etc must by definition be male

what are you talking about. this demographic is massively overrepresented in media
Everyone imitates Tolkien all the time except when it comes to the one way it would really matter: making the protagonist of your novel for children a short, fat, 50-year-old man who doesn't want to do anything.

turning "well, hitler did kill hitler!" into the foundation of your political ideology, masterful gambit sir
Elon logic:

The majority of people who voted to pass the Violence against Women Act were men, so really, it’s men who should be proud they ended violence against women

The majority of people who voted for the Civil Rights Act were white, so while people should get the credit for ending segregation

if i stated my true feelings on "theology is a fat white dad smoking a pipe pretending to be a hobbit" guys they would probably section me

people like dbh really make me think that theology, for laypeople, and here i mean laymen, is almost always an excuse to make a career out of dropping various literary and cultural references for those who couldn't make it as litcrit bullshitters

interesting how only half of the GOP base even cares about trans stuff (and not that many more even care about immigrants) but newsom and others are saying that democrats need to throw both groups under the bus to get a slightly bigger margin
Which groups have had it too easy for too long, getting too much public support?
According to Republicans: Trans people and immigrants.

yeah that Dworkin piece where she accuses Dworkin of secretly enjoying pornography while also announcing that she's brave enough to forgive the bad boyfriends she had in the past is some of the most misogynistic dreck I've ever read

she writes from such a place of trans panic. "trans women, who i do not consider to be women but will play at respecting, complicate feminism so much that we must now announce that women have no material interests to themselves" is the gist of like every piece
