    Sadly…

    Nick Fuentes, the white nationalist podcaster known for his long history of antisemitic and misogynistic remarks, wrote on X/Twitter as Trump’s victory emerged: “Your body, my choice. Forever.”

    The phrase has gained fast popularity on TikTok, where numerous women have been told their bodies no longer belong to them following the presidential election result.

      I have never seen anybody use that phrase in seriousness. Some weirdo said it in a place none of us ever go? That’s pretty thin.

        Might want to Google Fuentes. He’s a depressingly influential right wing figure.

        Also Twitter continues to be one of the latest social media companies in the world.

        You haven’t seen something that’s only been trending for 5 days? Shocker.

          Yeah but these edgelords and high school boys eventually become adults, and perpetuate the same behavior, continuing the circle of hate and bigotry.

        Yeah, this obscure quote from an obscure person seems more like a good tool being used by the left to try and paint all of the right as sharing a similar perspective.

          It’s not that you share a similar perspective. It’s that you’re on the same side as this asshole (and the Russians, and the KKK, etc) and aren’t questioning why.

          We know that not all of you are like this. But the problem is that some of you are, and you seem to be okay with it.

          You’ll note that you didn’t denounce this person, and only clutched your pearls and blamed the left.
