In the hours following former President Donald Trump’s election victory, Google searches related to 4B — a fringe South Korean feminist movement that made a name for itself in the mid to late 2010s — surged in the United States.

That's fair, and I'm not asking you to. I'm trying to point out that 4B was effective in Korea because most women supported it. Half of women in America are conservative and aren't interested in 4B, and for that reason it won't have the effect you're hoping for.

I'm not saying anything about it having any effect. What I'm saying is that ultimately

  1. Nice guys that turn bad because they are denied sex weren't good on the first place. Just pretenders.
  2. Any/most movements intend to attract the attention of those outside the movement, in this case indecisive and Republicans. If you think those cannot be persuaded by any means, I'm sorry to inform you 2028 will also be a Republican landslide.
  3. Ultimately, it's a personal action movement. They aren't blocking the roads to other peoples cars, or throwing paint to art. They just decided to not have sex/relationships. If a person decides they don't want to have sex because three earth orbits the sun, they have the right to do so.

I honestly think the US is fucked, and now they are going to go full indoctrination and propaganda with their friend musk (and meta/all other social network that will follow). At this point, either accept the fact, move to another country or go nuclear. It's past stickers and speeches.
