I posted a post-deep-dive take on what gave Trump the presidency here, but I will say that misogyny did did no small amount of heavy lifting.

What we need to figure out before the GOP finds its next cult leader is how to neutralize the massive far-right propaganda machine that is churning out false information and disinforming the public.

We've decided before that ethically we can't trust human beings to make sound decisions in some conditions. Gambling, for example. Sometimes humans get addicted to just giving the house their money when it's coached in a probability game. But then we've just invented loopholes (and lootboxes) to circumvent regulation. So I don't know how we're going to deprogram massive viewerships of media that promotes hate, including misogyny.

If we fail then the ~~ice zombie army~~ climate crisis (and running out of water for agriculture) is going to drive us to extinction.
