Who knew the progressive journalistic website titled Salon would get into comedy routines after America let its intentions known by electing Donald J. Trump again. The “award-winning news and culture” online publication allowed Amanda Marcotte to write a laughable piece titled A Cat Lady’s Survival Guide for the Second Trump Administration. And whew-boy, it’s compiled of a bunch of belly-bustin’ laughable material.
Goodness gracious, ya’ll. I knew the fallout from the left would be maddening when it became apparent that Trump was going to win again, but I underestimated some of it. One Salon writer might want to step away from the keyboard. Amanda, dear, don’t drink and type, hun.
Allow me to break it down for you. Bless her heart, Amanda starts off wringing her hands over the way Trump ran his campaign, crying about men having a say in 2024. Oh my gosh! The horror! She slings around E. Jean Carroll’s name alongside Taylor Swift.
After Marcotte gives her opening depiction of what she thinks misogyny is—MAGA men—Little Miss then goes on to provide us with her guide on what progressive women can do for their future. But first, this quote.
What is remarkable about Trump and the MAGA movement is how visceral and personal the misogyny is. These aren’t the conservatives of old who hid their woman-hatred behind a Bible and condescending talk about “family values.” Trump and his allies channel a palpable anger at individual women for having the gall to walk around like full citizens. We see it in Trump’s inability to stop defaming E. Jean Carroll, a woman a civil jury found he sexually assaulted in the 90s. We see it in Trump’s running mate, Sen. JD Vance, and his obsession with “cat ladies.” We see it in the bizarre impregnation fantasies of billionaire Elon Musk and in MAGA influencer Ben Shapiro setting Barbie dolls on fire. – Salon
No, ma’am, JD isn’t obsessed with cat ladies. That’s you and your side obsessing over JD Vance.
I hope this image sends little feminists all over the nation into a tizzy.

Thank God we have JD instead of Tampon Tim.
According to Amanda, this is what she wants her readers to do:
There is absolutely nothing funny about this. But, of course, Amanda advocates for divorce; it is the liberal way. Is something too hard? Leave, it’s someone else’s fault. Or simply destroy the family values.
Dear progressive women, you can skip over Amanda’s advice on this one. Trust me.
Here is yet another Marxist ideology. Destroy the family. I suspect Marcotte donated to BLM or at least set her profile picture on social media to a black square back in 2020.
Marcotte’s other hair-brained ideas include getting sterilized, dressing how you want, and adopting cats.
Dear Amanda, maybe you should think about women worldwide who are not allowed to wear what they want.
Later in Amanda’s article, she does admit that some of her advice is somewhat satirical. I have my doubts.
The Salon writer ends her entry by throwing out the proverbial and well-known leftist caricature of a man she has stored up in her brain somewhere from probably watching The Stepford Wives too many times.
There are responses to this that could have been productive. Men could regard women as equals and act accordingly, in ways big and small, from respecting a woman’s right to keep her last name to respecting her opinions to picking up after yourself. Many men do this, and as some of them are my friends, so I can tell you they don’t shut up about how well they clean up on the dating market because of it. Yet a whole bunch of men are throwing a tantrum and voting for a party that makes empty promises that they don’t have to learn to be better because women can be forced into compliance. The sooner they find out that is not true, the higher the odds that they give up the dream of male domination. So turn up the volume on that quiet quitting and make it a hell of a lot louder. – Salon
Can someone at Salon please tap Amanda on the shoulder and tell her we live in 2024? Also, she may want to take the time to get in touch with Tulsi Gabbard, Amy Coney Barrett, or Karoline Leavitt, just to name a few, and possibly interview them for a future article on Salon. You know, with Amanda being a journalist and loving the girl power and all.

This woman lives in Inside-Out World. Well and truly.
channel a palpable anger at individual women (emphasis added)
That is the very definition of NON-misogyny, honey. (And you are the very definition of “hysterical.”)
his obsession with “cat ladies.”
Actually, he just mentioned it once. I think the obsession is yours.
Meet your new Vice President
ZOMG! He’s…! Ummm…. He’s sitting there with a gun pointed in a safe direction and his finger off the trigger. And he’s not shooting at steel targets within 5 yards with a scope. He probably (if he wants to be an embodiment of the 2A) should have a can on that thing, but otherwise he’s just a guy posing with his rifle.
(He could be surrounded by empty shell casings, saying “Happiness is a warm gun” if he wanted to be really MAGA and freak out the swooners. [Close)
Divorce your Republican husband
Never date a Trump voter
Put off getting married — or avoid it altogether
[G]etting sterilized
[D]ressing how you want
[A]dopting cats.
Because you should look forward to never being happy and dying alone (and being eaten by your cats, because no one cares to look in on you). This woman really is the definition of “hysterical.” (I know, I’m repeating myself.)
Men could regard women as equals
When you don’t understand what any of those words mean, you end up saying stupid carp like this. Amanda, honey, men ALREADY DO treat women as equals. It’s when women demand power over men that we start to get a little reluctant. (And it’s not because we have power over women now. Really. You should get out more – you might notice these things.)
respecting a woman’s right to keep her last name
Where is she finding men who insist on a feminist not doing this?
Most of us are smart enough to point out why it’s a bad thing, particularly for your children. But you’re going to kill all of yours before they’re born anyway, so it makes a weird sort of sense for you.
to picking up after yourself
Well, ok, she has some of us on this one.
as some of them are my friends
I highly doubt this. I don’t think you have any friends. Maybe they’re your acquaintances….
Yet a whole bunch of men…
Wow. That whole sentence is a run-on pile-up of resentment. I can actually SEE her getting more unhinged as she types that out.
the dream of male domination
Projection and misunderstanding is all she has.
Can someone at Salon please tap Amanda on the shoulder…
And get her to take her lithium? And maybe a few downers, too. Then get her on a plane to a spa somewhere? One with padded walls would probably be best. The year isn’t her problem, it’s a question of reality. Oof.
I wonder if Trump could push for a bipartisan bill in Congress to get her some serious therapy.
