Quote:The immediate aftermath of Donald Trump’s presidential election win is already a bad omen for women and minorities across the nation, who within less than 48 hours have found themselves the subjects of hate campaigns designed to belittle and marginalize them.

“Your body, my choice. Forever,” posted white supremacist, Hitler fan, and far-right political pundit Nick Fuentes hours before the race had even been called in Trump’s favor.

On X (formerly Twitter), supporters of the “grab ’em by the pussy” rapist, convicted adulterer, Jeffrey Epstein confidant, and proud abortion rights destroyer reveled in their own threats against women, openly celebrating what they described as an onslaught of rape on the horizon.

“Women threatening sex strikes like LMAO as if you have a say,” wrote streamer Jon Miller, who later noted that he had successfully removed a community note from the viral post, allowing him to “profit from it.”

mechapoiter Everything Republicans have done since Trump ran in 2016 was called “hyperbole” until they actually did it.

They’ve been saying forever that they’d never repeal Roe v. Wade and yet as soon as Trump put those heritage foundation justices on the Supreme Court they did it *immediately.*

Then they said “don’t worry it’s just states rights,” but then gerrymandered red state governments started unilaterally (and in some states literally an automatic abortion ban was triggered) passing stricter abortion laws *immediately.*

Florida’s laws are so f’d up that we tried to pass a citizen referendum to end the effective abortion ban, our own governor *used our own tax money to fight it,* and it got 57% anyway, but because we have the least democratic state in the union, it didn’t “pass” because citizen votes require 60%.

Universityofrain88 I have an 11-year-old in my family who said that boys at her school are saying it's going to be legal to rape the girls in January. These are 5th and 6th graders. It seems unreal. All I can think of is, they had to hear this from somebody.

bunbeck13 9 year old family member has been complaining all school year that boys keep saying "Get back in the kitchen and make me a sandwich" and " Girls are only good for cooking and cleaning". It is the influencers.

ILITHARA My partner was assaulted in 2016 on Election Day. Someone on the street grabbed her by the you know what and said, “Trump won! We can grab wherever we want!” And he ran off.

WORDS MATTER. The president’s words MATTER. If he can get away with it, the belief is that so can we.

I’ve already seen a terrible increase in disgusted behavior, online and in person. It will, sadly, only get worse. Trump brings out the worst in people. He truly does.

My partner is terrified of the direction this country is inevitably going to take in the next four years. I fear we won’t recognize ourselves at the end of it. I just pray we, as a country can recover. Decency is required for not only a healthy democracy but for society in general.

deadsoulinside One of my nieces in 2016 was called the N word and then told to go back to her country the week Trump was elected then. She is half Arabic, but because she is not white she has had to deal with almost a decade now of increased racism towards her and her kids. She never dealt with racism to her face like this until Trump got elected. She has even had people drive by and hurl insults at her when walking around the neighborhood.

It's just sad that this is going to probably cause those people to feel even bolder than they were before, because their social media echo chambers are helping to make this the norm.
