Somehow not everyone is aware of fact alluded to below. So one more time: John Roberts, Brett Kavanaugh, Amy Coney Barrett were all on GWBush 2000 'Florida Recount' team. (Which made GWB first prez in 112 yrs to 'win' after losing popular vote. Now they 'impartially' rule on our future.)

I really love this chart. I'm guess that the correlation here (.85) is about as big as you would find for any other variable. Also, a less serious scholar than @tesler.bsky.social (namely me) would have made a crude Freudian reference to the slope of the line.

Chart shows a close positive relationship between Trump's 2024 vote and Google searches for testosterone boosters.

Feminist theory remains undefeated in explaining the weirdest parts of the Trump administration. I'm just going to keep posting this skeleton-key-to-MAGA passage, written over 40 years ago, until everyone gets it.

"To say that straight men are heterosexual is only to say that they engage in sex (fucking exclusively with the other sex, i.e., women). All or almost all of that which pertains to love, most straight men reserve exclusively for other men. The people whom they admire, respect, adore, revere, honor, whom they imitate, idolize, and form profound attachments to, whom they are willing to teach and from whom they are willing to learn, and whose respect, admiration, recognition, honor, reverence and love they desire… those are, overwhelmingly, other men. In their relations with women, what passes for respect is kindness, generosity or paternalism; what passes for honor is removal to the pedestal. From women they want devotion, service and sex.

Heterosexual male culture is homoerotic; it is man-loving.”
― Marilyn Frye, The Politics of Reality: Essays in Feminist Theory

Here's a graphic illustrating their "rigged election" strategy:

A circular flow diagram on a blue background titled "Rigged Election" Strategy (in the center, in pink text). Six white text boxes are arranged in a ring, connected by light-blue curved arrows pointing clockwise, indicating a repeating cycle. Reading clockwise from the top, the six steps are:

Repeatedly say elections are "rigged"
Change laws to make it harder to vote
Muddy the waters: confuse voters & suppress votes
Seed & amplify rumors that echo "rigged election" refrain
Contest results (you don't like)
Sow distrust in democracy

The arrows loop back from "Sow distrust in democracy" to "Repeatedly say elections are 'rigged,'" showing the cycle as self-reinforcing.
