Harris’ devastated voters conclude that America hates women, while Trump defeats his second female rival

Democratic-voting Americans say they feel reaffirmed in their belief that most of the United States would prefer someone else as president instead of a woman after this. Kamala Harris lost from Donald Trump in the 2024 presidential election.

Harris voters shared feelings of disappointment and sadness about her on social media will not make history as the first female American president.

But what apparently resonated with hundreds of thousands of people were messages written in anger claiming that a man convicted of a crime, twice accused and four times indicted had the upper hand.

‘The only thing America hates more than a rapist is a woman’ wrote an X user with over 600,000 likes and 100,000 reposts.

“I don’t know why I’m always shocked when I rediscover how deeply our country hates women,” another wrote.

Earlier this year, Hillary Clinton said she hoped Harris would do what she couldn’t: beat Trump and break the “highest, hardest glass ceiling” in America. But as the swing states fell prey to Trump one by one on Tuesday evening, it became increasingly clear that this would not be the case.

On the surface, Wednesday’s results mimic the sentiments of the 2016 presidential election when Trump defeated Clinton despite being the favored candidate with more political experience and less radical policy proposals.

But there seems to be a much deeper sense of confusion and anger this time around, as Trump’s eight-year political history is steeped in controversy, civil and criminal cases and allegations of misconduct.

In 2020, voters appeared ready to oust the former president, who refused to concede to President Joe Biden and drew a mob of violent, disgruntled supporters to the Capitol as Congress tried to certify the election results.

That motivation seemed to strengthen after Trump took credit for the Supreme Court’s overturning of the landmark abortion rights case Roe v. Wade in 2022 – bringing trigger laws into effect across the country.

Harris’ campaign, which focused steadfastly on protecting reproductive rights and upholding democracy, had hoped to achieve results similar to Biden’s victory.

But the message to Democrats on Wednesday morning was that this was not enough to convince most of the country, especially men, to keep Trump in the past.

“If Trump wins twice against two separate women, but loses against another man, it’s not about the candidate, it’s about their hatred of women.” wrote an X user.

The former president specifically targeted young white men during his campaign, entertaining influencers like Joe Rogan by joining their podcasts or YouTube shows for interviews. The so-called ‘bro vote’ may have helped him immensely in winning the election.

“Leaving aside Harris’ incredibly misguided campaign, the way millions of young men in this country have been groomed by famous misogynists to hate and criticize women is truly horrific.” observed by an X user.

“The right-wing radicalization of high school and college-aged men is truly one of the biggest crises in the US and virtually nothing is being done about it.” another person repeated.
