About this episode
Elaine Godfrey discusses the political shifts within the manosphere following Donald Trump's actions post-election.
The manosphere helped Donald Trump win the 2024 election.

The Atlantic staff writer Elaine Godfrey has been tracking the political shifts among a small but influential group of manosphere podcasters.
