      Is the misogyny on lemmy that prevalent? I spend most of my time in the hexbear and ml communities and misogyny isn’t much of an issue there but I hear it is endemic to lemmy. I haven’t seen much of it personally.

        Libs believe everyone who was against Harris was only against her either cause of her race or her gender. Couldn’t possibly be for any other reason cause she was the perfect candidate that would bring about world peace and end everyone’s problems.

      Having grown up in the 1970s and 1980s, when racial tolerance and women’s lib was hammered into me even via Sesame Street (it was just after the Civil Rights movement and all fresh on everyone’s minds) I am terrified of the possibility that our voting population is so obtuse that they’d be afraid of officials that are not all white Christian men.

      Though part of Trump’s popularity in his 2015-2016 campaign was due to reactionary offense to Obama. So we Americans may just be that lowbrow.
