There are some very concrete effects of the Trump election, including medical care and ****e like that. Also, the agenda, some of which has a gendered component. Women do not, as a rule, own a dozen assault rifles; that's more of a male thing. Trump will be an advocate for those blokes. You will no doubt say something about working class solidarity, closet socialist that you are. That women in blue-collar areas benefit from the policies Trump is advocating. That "women's issues" are marquee, middle class concerns; whereas blue-collar women need to worry about ****e like having their families hold together. Here is where the fakeness of Trump comes in. He's not actually -- I hope I'm wrong -- going to help blue-collar workers. He's cutting down their pay, their medical, all that stuff. It's just rich guy rules. The only thing they got is kicking out the immigrants, which might do some good. We'll see on that one.
