Trump won because not enough Dem women boinked their hubbys and boyfriends!!

Seriously, that's the latest steaming hot take from Julian Assange! Remember folks, he's a proper "legit journalist"

Link to tweet

As always, Greenwald and Snowden were unavailable for comment

1. so it wasn't Wikileaks' fault at all

What a deranged tweet.

4. There are multiple factors for 2016...

Even without Russia, WikiLeaks, etc... Trump still had a disturbingly robust following. Trump-Russia did cost Hillary the election but isn't the only factor involved.

We do ourselves a disservice to dismiss other considerations because scandal is the most prominent factor.

9. For starters...

As considerations go, this is REALLY thin...

Secondly, Assange fucks up any shred of validity this argument might have had by *intentionally* making it the fault of women in his wording... Don't you see? "Men are being DENIED sexual release!!" Men are being DENIED having their offspring brought into the world!!"

2. Don't discount his theory...

For those who havent, read the Steve Bannon biography...

Devil's Bargain: Steve Bannon, Donald Trump, and the Storming of the Presidency https://www.amazon.com/dp/0735225028/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_OOHOCb17BBP46

... you'll learn about how Bannon developed his entire strategy around Breitbart, Trump, and Brexit based on a similar theory.

8. Yeah, I'll go on and discount that theory....

1. Republican men already had a thousand other reasons to vote against Hillary...

2. For every bullshit reason I've heard (and believe me, I've heard them all) for Democratic or dreaded 'Independent' men voting for Trump/Bernie/3rd party/staying home, "Because my I couldn't ever get laid," or "The woman in my life didn't want to accept my man seed into her baby factory so we could make a new human" didn't appear once...

3. Just for the sake of curiosity, for those who subscribe to this theory I'm really interested in knowing just *HOW* Trump winning the election was supposed to equate into more women giving up their feminine treasures for all bros nationwide...?

[DetlefK]

3. Sigh. It's so simple.Compare the graph to a political/cultural timeline and you see the true reason.

Where does the trend deviate significantly from previous years? Sometime between 2010 and 2013. What happened in those years?

Somebody founded the Tea Party and we got toxic push-back against progressive and liberal values.

Then Trump was elected in 2016 and the trend got even worse. What happened after Trump's election?

The US is getting toxic, misogynistic bro-shit from Republicans.



The answer is simple: Men are having less sex because there are less men that respect women.

6. It's all related...

... but you raise a great point.

7. I like your answer.

5. Trump did score big with the "Incel" demographic

Involuntarily Celibate, for those who don't know the term.

It's not a "wife" or "girlfriend" thing - the MAGA Incel types don't have either.

[Hekate]

10. And there you have it. Among the utterly deplorable Trump base, all resentful & convinced of...

...their personal victimhood, would be this small core of really bitter men no one would want to pass the time of day with, much less anything else.

[jalan48]

11. Who would have guessed those uptight Republicans are the ones hot to trot?

[struggle4progress]

12. "Libertarian attention-whores needed as Russian stooges!"

[not_the_one]

13. Maybe dem women with repub voting husbands

should change their "access" from rarely, to NEVER.

I'm just sayin'.

That attitude should be adopted by ALL women who want control over their own body, and who's partners vote republican.
