In the days after Donald Trump was elected president, the 4B feminist movement is capturing young women’s interest on social media.

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.

    They thought Trump was going to save them from poverty? Did he save them from poverty last time?

      They thought Trump was going to save them from poverty?

      Yes.

      Did he save them from poverty last time?

      Of fucking course not, but that doesn’t stop them from believing the lie.

          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.

            Trump instituted a tax cut for everyone that was set to expire and a perpetual one for companies. It’s hilarious that you think Trump made anyone prosperous he was running on the fumes of Obama’s economy before he helped crash it by totally bungling covid.

              I don’t think Trump made anyone prosperous.

              The problem here is that, under Biden, the majority of Americans experienced poverty as they never had before, and Harris’ campaign represented a status quo that most Americans are deeply dissatisfied with.
