And another thing: I hate the idea that "masculine energy" is dressing up like a modern-day Roman emperor, getting really into UFC, and being hyper-competitive. These jerks are not what I'd call quintessential men. (Neither am I. Or any of us.)

Yeah. I'd hope for higher taxes on the wealthier and lower on the poorer, with a stronger mix of social programs and a real social safety net. I don't think that's going to come to fruition.
A funny thing about cries about censorship on social platforms is that they all seem to relate to people wanting to be abusive to vulnerable people who are already systemically oppressed. I guess we're allowing more of that now. This really is a new era of prosperity!
I don't disagree. The trick is that the American people voted in a set of people who *also* don't care, who will make their lives (and the world) markedly worse.
