Presumably suffering from election season withdrawal, and reaching for one last hit of crazy, female influencers shaved their heads over the weekend, and embraced the “4B” protest movement — a viral trend of women vowing to no longer have sex or carry children under our new “fascist” regime. Elsewhere, Democrats encouraged followers to report Trump-supporting immigrants to ICE, the ladies of the View demanded speech controls, Kara Swisher accosted a man in an airport, and WaPo’s Jen Rubin implored her followers to give up introspection. The time for that was over, she wrote. “Hitler is in power.” Now, this is all insane for sure, but our streets were strangely quiet. Which left me wondering: have our crazies all retreated to the internet, or is America just too tired to once again adorn those pink vagina hats and raise hell? My sense is the latter, and for this I’m grateful. Nature is healing.

Exit polls last week revealed 18- to 29-year-old men swung nearly 30 points to the right, and pundits are wondering what could possibly account for the Zoomer Red Wave. Hmm, great question. Could it be that Kamala avoided Zoomer-friendly media like the plague, while Trump frequented popular pods like Full Send and Rogan? Could it be that her younger male surrogates included guys like Harry Sisson, the TikToker so effeminate that former Navy SEAL operator Robert O’Neill pledged to make him his sex slave? Could it be that adults have lectured us on incoherent woke bullshit our entire lives, and we’re just kind of over it? Could it be — hello, hey, over here — the cost of living? The answer: probably all of these things. But, long story short, Dems dropped the ball, and now frat boys are doing that funny little Trump dance on college campuses across the country. The bros are in control.

Google management reportedly spent the lead up to Election Day removing political posts from the company’s internal message boards, a characteristically “2020 is over, do your work” kind of gesture that would have been funny enough. But it follows a trend of tech CEOs, including Sundar Pichai, privately courting Donald Trump in the final stretch of the campaign, not only flattering him, and criticizing his opposition, but discussing trade policy. This is more than a vibe shift, this is business. Our new president likes 1) fair trade deals, and 2) making money. That places him squarely in alignment with American tech, which is now in the crosshairs of every other relevant government on the planet (as well as Nigeria). Expect the romance to continue for the next four years, and if it pisses off a few overly-coddled “yay Hamas” coders? Expect them not to last.
