In a way, it's understandable. I utterly hated Trump just a year ago, and now I regret that he didn't win the election. So, it's not surprising that feminism moved to a right-wing website......

Trump is the embodiment of what we fought against as feminists. He's a self-admitted and proud sexual harasser, a prostitution buyer, not mentioning the rape lawsuits. He got conservative judges in the supreme court that are against abortion.

Trans issues do not matter at all compared to those issues. I'm annoyed by Biden pandering to the TRA crowd, but at least every other women's rights will be safe.

Feminism cannot be right-wing in a country where the right wing fights against women's rights as basic as abortion.

See, the problem is that after four years of everyone constantly screaming how cartoonishly evil Trump is, I don't believe it anymore. At best, he's just a puppet. Real villains do not let the media and the population tear their image apart for four years.

Right-wingers may want to limit abortion; but left-wingers may want to erase the very existence of women as a category. In this case for me it's choosing the lesser evil.

Well, have you noticed he's still denying having lost the election? It isn't anyone's fault but his that he's seen as a cartoon villain. This is a single example among a long history of similarly ridiculous stuff.

Hard to argue with your second paragraph ; the best course of action would be to change dems opinion on this stuff but it seems hopeless for now

That's simply because it works. He's not that stupid, he acts stupid. Because that means we get to talk about him all the time. Also, believe it or not, the masses LOVE voting for the stupid.

You know, my country, Italy..... had a Trump-like president many years before Americans. Now, because Italians aren't Americans, we didn't scream about fascism or the end of the world, but yeah. Berlusconi was exactly like Trump, almost as if they were made from the same mould.

Somehow, that guy kept being elected even if everyone was hating him and making fun of him. Not many admitted to voting him, yet he won, while he'd say completely insane stuff like telling president Obama that "he looks pretty tanned".
