The Republican Party Is the Incel Party

Look at Trump's closest advisors. Hegseth, for example. Stephen Miller. Tell me why I'm wrong.

Even more common, but not unrelated, either. "On the younger side," as Trump said. More easily groomed, he means.

That is why I cringe when podcasters and speakers/pundits/influencers (or whatever he is) enable (presumptively "progressive" ) Scott Galloway to go on and on with his books and podcasts that focus on the plight of young men worldwide (and without much, if any, discussion of racial/ethnic disparities--one presumes young white men). Now, most of us listening for the first dozen times (as on Nicole's "BEST" podcast) would probably agree with him and be nodding along, me included. But after multiple repeated discussions, one realizes that without ever mentioning women (and their not dissimilar economic issues), there would seem to be a default blame falling to them.

I won't argue with his fans who might show up on this thread. And, he does have them. But I'm far enough along on the "Galloway: woe be it to the young males (white) and their struggles" memes. MAGA may hate inclusiveness when discussing our problems, but is that now "the Galloways of the world" too?

Just put the "Wicked feminist who caused all the problems of the world" label on my tombstone and be done with it.

So, yeah, MineralMan, I definitely agree with you.
