How much antisemitism is too much? How racist is too racist? And are limits even feasible without transgressing a central MAGA shibboleth - that the First Amendment protects, first and foremost, one's right to be a loathsome asshole? But to the chagrin of the women I've spoken to in recent months, almost no one involved in this dispute is talking about sexism or contemplati its electoral, much less moral, downsides. Rather, the MAGA misogynists, commentators and politicians alike, have barreled ahead. The most powerful people in Washington are embracing policy ideas that would have scandalized previous generations of conservatives, reopening arguments that were settled a half a century ago or more. In August, Pete Hegseth shared a video in which Christian-nationalist pastor Douglas Wilson advocates repealing women's suffrage. Over the past two years, conservative lawmakers in Louisiana, Oklahoma, and Texas have considered restrictions on no-fault divorce, entertaining the idea of forcibly keeping women in unwanted marriages. Trump's White House has proposed dismantling the Department of Labor's Women's Bureau, rescinded Biden-era guidance for employers about workplace harassment, and eliminated a 60-year-old measure designed to ensure federal contractors abide by anti-discrimination laws — all enabling a return to more hostile workplaces for women. When you look for it, at the center of every problem diagnosed by the MAGA right there is a woman with too much power. Fuentes, previously at the far fringes of acceptability, increasingly seems to distill - in his shameless, bombastic manner - the essence of what men in the MAGA movement believe. "The man is the fucking man of the house, and the man should be the man of the conservative movement, too," he said on his America First show in December. "I know I'm the fucking incel loser, but we need to put women in their place, and it starts with our political movement."
