Every woman knows that moment: when the men in the room don’t see you as an equal, not even fully human. Yet, we smile, nod, swallow it. Because calling it out makes us “too sensitive.” I say, f*ck that sh*t. It’s not harmless. It’s the culture. And we’re done.
Back the f*ck off.
Back the f*ck off.

Trump KNOWS propaganda methods. One of those methods is repetition. He knows if he repeats things over and over and over (even without evidence) that his base will believe it. FoxNews and other right wing outlets use this same technique. The phenomenon is known as the Illusory Truth Effect.

Fired. Investigated. Silenced. Reuters documented at least 470 targets of retribution under Donald Trump — from federal workers and prosecutors to universities and media outlets. It’s the most comprehensive accounting yet of his campaign of payback.
