How did election deniers even become a thing negatively affecting our politics and our representatives ability to even effectively govern?

Trumpy.

Lefties keep telling males that they're evil, inferior, and their time has passed. What political side did they expect them to support after that?

I don't quite recall being told that.

Or do you mean things like men commit 90% of violent crimes. Does hearing that statistic push you towards the right?

And women commit 99% of lies to their partner about who their children are. What's your point?

A stopped clock is right twice a day.

It's basic logic. If you were coming of age and one side kept telling you that you were evil and your time has passed, and the other side wasn't, which side would you join?

What you seem to be saying is that violence is inherent to a man's nature.

Interesting

I suppose being a MAN and not a boy is tough since one of the first steps is to stop blaming other people for our act

Of course the first and most important thing about being conservative is you have to be a victim

Still looking for examples of this being told to young men, and who is telling it to them.

Occasionally I've seen some feminists talk like that but I've always laughed.

It's never concerned me.

I can't wait to see how Dems respond in their next POTUS loss. Reps have whined like babies for 3 years now over something that happens every election. They just got more dumb about it because that's what partisan politics does to everyone. And, history has irrefutably shown us that what one party does, so does the other party. Additionally, when the other party does it, they do it to a more extreme than the original.

So my bucket of popcorn will be filled in November should Trump win.

Some people can only feel good about themselves by making other people feel bad.

Those people are called Deplorables.

It's everywhere. Just the other day when Trump lost in court the female prosecutor said "If you want something done give it to a woman"

Reps didn't just whine, they attempted to overthrow democracy.

And here you are voting for them again like a moron.

If Trump wins, I think I'll pack up a big bag of "I told you so's" and wait.

I can tell you how it will go, be it in 2024 or 2028 or 2032 or whenever.

Marginalized people and their allies are going to post on Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, etc.

Some of them are going to show up and protest at the inauguration.

The reich wing is going to screen shot the posts and pass the video clips around and say "SEEEeeee3333eeeeeeE!?;?;?;?!?!?!! eYe tolT yoooo0oooo it waszzZzzzzz liek teh inSURRRRerectionzzzzZzzZzz!!!!!1one11111!!!"

And while all of this is going on elected Democrats are going to be working with elected Republicans to make everyone's lives worse.

Every policy that Joe Biden and his Dem handlers have pushed down our throats harms every American citizen. These people help foreigners and criminals not Americans. Lefties brought in millions of uneducated, unknown unvetted 3RD world potential criminals that hard working American citizens now must pay to house in 5 star hotels while cartels and NGOS all colluded in the process.

Dems and their party really deserve to be sued and held accountable. They lied and tremendously hurt our country and cities.

I'm just sick of dems losing.

And telling men they're evil is a sure fire way to make them vote for the other side.

Next POTUS loss Hummer? The Democratic Party is Undefeated in the popular vote for POTUS since 2000...a 24 year reign.

The ONLY way the GOP has been able to capture the Presidency in the last 2 decades has been through the very corruptable SCOTUS and Electoral College. Which says tons about your party...
