WE ARE NOT ANGRY ENOUGH
The bullying and abuse calls are coming from inside the (White) House
We had a horrible incident in my neighboring town a couple of months ago in which a group of white students surrounded a black student while she was trying to leave a park on her e-bike. Several kids called her the “n-word,” while one boy, in particular, egged one girl to hit her. It turns out those two menaces to society are siblings, and the boy already has several standing complaints against him in that town. Things go off camera for a bit, and then you see the two main girls fight in the background, when all the black girl was trying to do was leave.
Needless to say, watching the video enraged me, and many other people in our area felt the same. I watched a town hall meeting in which parent after parent shared similar stories of blatant racism by students in our local schools. As far as I know, the students from this particular incident received detention (including the victim!), and nothing else was done. According to many of those who shared their stories, this apathy is widespread.
This past week, according to Phil Diehl of the San Diego Union-Tribune:
“The Carlsbad City Council approved an anti-bullying resolution Tuesday in response to a recent assault of a middle-school Black girl by a group of school kids at Poinsettia Park.
“The council approved the resolution 4-1, with Councilmember Melanie Burkholder opposed.
“‘We all agree that is not acceptable,’ Burkholder said, but added that she sees the bullying problem as a parenting issue and not one where the government should get involved.”
I’d be willing to guess that Burkholder calls herself a Libertarian, as this “party” is known for its distaste for government overreach.

The thing is, these are no ordinary times. Bullying is coming from the very top, and the demented ball of cheeseburger-laden fat cells in charge is actively trickling it into every part of our society. All you have to do is follow a social media account like Tizzy Entertainment or That Danesh Guy for daily videos of people spewing hate at one another, and 99% of the time, it’s white people not having any hesitation to be filmed spitting on (and worse!) POC. Between the racists no longer feeling like they have to hide and the gross oversteps of the despicable ICE agents, I probably wouldn’t leave the house if I were brown-skinned.
All of this rampant racism seems only to be emboldened by this manosphere that has entered the chat in the last few years. The UN Women describes it as:
“The manosphere is a collection of online forums, blogs, and social media communities promoting masculinity, male supremacy, and often, extreme misogyny. It acts as a loosely connected network—including incels, pick-up artists, and men's rights activists—united by opposition to feminism, traditional gender roles, and a shared feeling of grievance, frequently targeting women.”
The undeniable truth is that we have a Man Problem. A March 2026 CNN investigation reported on a global "online rape academy" featuring a website that garnered about 62 million visits in February alone. This network features men trading tips on drugging their wives or partners, and they then share videos of the resulting sexual assaults.
I realize that when I make a blanket statement about having a “man problem,” many males take offense to that, but what I beg of them to do is, instead of getting wounded and thinking, “Not all men,” why not take an active stance on these extremely dangerous and prevalent issues?
Some male-run accounts on social media are doing just that, and I’d like to share them here:

And my all-time favorite social media account that you probably already follow because he has a bazillion followers (but if you’re not already following him, WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?):

In sum, WE ARE NOT ANGRY ENOUGH (THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER—IYKYK)! The bullying and abuse are funneling down from 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, and it’s time to cut it off at the source.
I know politics are much more nuanced than a quick Google search, but I’ll leave you with this hopeful thought anyway:
Article II, Section 4 of the U.S. Constitution defines the impeachment process, stating that the President, Vice President, and all civil officers of the United States shall be removed from office upon impeachment for, and conviction of, treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors.
