There already seems to have been a spike in misogynistic/xenophobic/homophobic abuse. Similar to what happened in 2016. What a strange coincidence that these spikes seem to coincide with Trump victories.
Steve, where do you find objective stats on that? Genuine question.
I don't think we can rely upon media to present a balanced picture of such things, so the unconscious impression built by "frequency of news stories and the framing given by the reporters" could be unreliable. There are countless examples of selective coverage in our recent history.
So while I think it's entirely possible that there is a spike, I would want some objective evidence from a neutral source before buying into that narrative.
After the horrid one takes office. Keep your kids home is few weeks. The beards feel it’s open season on us.
