As it became increasingly clear that Donald Trump was heading to a decisive victory on the evening of the US election last week, notorious far-right activist and white supremacist Nick Fuentes took to X/Twitter to offer some analysis. “I’d just like to take the opportunity to thank men for saving this country from stupid b*****s who wanted to destroy the world to keep abortion,” he wrote. “Your body, my choice. Forever.”
Fuentes, who once described his “ideal wife” as 16 years old and has in the past praised Hitler, was one of a cadre of manosphere figures to take to social media in the days post-election. Elon Musk, who has become one of Trump’s most influential cheerleaders of late, declared: “The cavalry has arrived. Men are voting in record numbers. They now realize everything is at stake.” Below his tweet came a reply from the infamous influencer and accused rapist and human trafficker, Andrew Tate: “It’s men vs gays n chicks.”
