In the hours following former President Donald Trump’s election victory, Google searches related to 4B — a fringe South Korean feminist movement that made a name for itself in the mid to late 2010s — surged in the United States.

Respectfully, this isn’t on dudes.
Four and eight years ago young men overwhelmingly supported Bernie Sanders, and they were ridiculed for it. Dems even made up an epithet for it: Bernie Bros.
The perspective you’re showing in this reply is why Republicans won. You can’t make it very clear you don’t want young men to vote for you and then be surprised when they don’t.
What are you talking about? Bernie Bros are the diametric opposite of the problem. My comment is addressing all the men but them!
That is not the sentiment that Sanders supporters were receiving from Democrats in 2016 and 2020

Robinson Meyer literally coined it as a pejorative
Rereading this article for the first time in a decade is insane
Yeah, I know what they think it means, but that doesn’t mean I can’t try to reclaim it.
Never mind.
I’m wasting my breath, but thank you for the discussion.
Yeah man, gamer gate didn’t happen 🙄
You can live in 2008 and 2014, but I can guarantee you (if what you saw this week wasn’t enough) that people are a tad more concerned with their inability to pay for groceries and the necessity of rationing their meds.
The voters told Dems what they wanted. Dems told them to be joyful about being in poverty.
They didn’t vote Trump out of hatred of women. (Most, at least. Some surely did.) They voted Trump because Harris represented a very shitty status quo.
They thought Trump was going to save them from poverty? Did he save them from poverty last time?
Yes.
Of fucking course not, but that doesn’t stop them from believing the lie.
The poverty wasn’t this extreme last time. That’s the issue.
Did you think that had anything to do with Trump?
I do, yes.
It made me think of 2016, when three families on my parents’ block had lost their homes to foreclosure, and Hillary was trying to defend the status quo. Extrapolate that to every street in America and you have an unelectable Democrat.
The same is true now, except it’s people working 2-3 jobs for the privilege of barely affording to live in the US. Trump lied about a lot of things, but he didn’t have to lie about how hard it’s become just to exist in this country.
