We needed a word beyond patriarchy or andocracy for where Trump, Hegseth, Project 2025 are trying to take us. This is beyond men in power. It is men in power actively hating, assaulting, raping women. Former Charlotte mayor @jenrobertsnc.bsky.social nailed it last year: "misogynocracy." 1/2

This is a good thread. I believe the word "equivocation"—switching between two distinct meanings of a word in the middle of an argument—describes the dishonest rhetorical strategy that Parker criticizes. It's useful to recognize & to call that out when we see it.
These takes are obnoxious because they're technically correct in the most pedantic way while completely missing the point. Here’s why it’s annoying:

This is the slap back to Stephen Miller’s “arrest everyone” madness. And an admission that Trump is under pressure from multiple industries that rely on migrant workers.
This is huge and important. Keep amplifying the harm done by the Trump/Miller zealous, cruel overreach. Don’t bury this.
