It's like around 20 percent, I would say, of the diehard ultra mega loyalists that want this.

I like to call it vice signaling from the president because they have nothing else to look forward to.

So they want to like they want groups of people to look down upon.

That famous LBJ quote comes to mind.

Right.

Um, and, and that's precisely the, the only thing that, uh, these people are clinging onto.

So I say, I mean, let go of that 20% base, uh, that is, uh, purely reactionary and, and try to focus on, on organizing around the rest of the country with the 80%, uh, specifically around issues that pertain to their material realities, uh, and hopefully, uh, launch a stronger opposition against Donald Trump to the best of our ability and continue engaging in community defense.

I think there's two different angles on the Manosphere side.

Obviously, the expected result of Donald Trump's popularity waning has caused a lot of people who weren't super diehard invested in the ideological movement that he represents to pull out.

I get clicks.

I get a lot of eyeballs.

I get a lot of attention.

That's good.

I'm also privileged enough not to care if he wins, right?

And they're...

And reconsidering that calculation now that he's unpopular.

There are also some who were, I guess, somewhat apolitical or present themselves as apolitical, even though they're clearly not.

And one of the things that I've seen, at least in the manosphere side of things, has been Donald Trump's dealings with Israel in particular.
