I think people are desperately trying to find easy boogeymen for this election that are easily hateable and at the same time allow themselves not to change the way they think at the same time. A horde of former PUA's who secretly want to take over America fit that bill

@honsou can't it be both
@tesseraconteur The only issue is that the people they are describing: White middle class male, raised by feminist mother single mother and went to good schools, are like 10 people
@honsou @tesseraconteur well, i wouldn't expect every detail to apply to everyone, but i get your point. either way, the conclusion is the same, i think: we can't effectively change what the other side is doing, so we just need to do better ourselves to reach people in the middle before they're courted by our enemies
