with the toxic patriarchy that Trump et al are trying to install w/their Christian Nationalism.

It's never been about which route we took, what we were wearing, what we said, or any of the myriad other excuses pushed out there. It has always been about the insecurity of the rapist and their need for power. Trump is such a great illustration of this because it permeates everything he does. And every time I think about that it disgusts me even more that he was elected president.
