TAF'S VERDICT ON ELECTION 2024
**While analysis of the 2024 election could fill a Kamala rally-sized stadium, here are a few takeaways fundamental to the philosophy of TAF going forward.
Election 2024 was a decisive, desperate, violent act of aggression by white, cishet men who are deeply fearful of losing unearned socioeconomic and cultural privilege/status — as well as the unpaid service and labor of women and marginalized peoples that prop up the inequity benefitting them.

The exploitative and oppressive white supremacist, patriarchal, neoliberal capitalist socioeconomic infrastructure in the U.S. reached unsustainable fragility — leading to severe inequality of wealth and distribution of resources unheralded in modern times. After earlier gains in American history, laborers and workers were once again cut off from exercising agency and influence in almost all economic sectors due to egregious and greedy prioritization of profit margins benefitting the ownership class.
This led to a breakdown of private and public function/welfare which previously prevented widespread instability and poverty. Combined with a rabidly successful, decades-long, right-wing propaganda campaign popularizing regressive culture and public policy, an erosion in the trust of democratic institutions and norms spread, culminating in the 2024 election results.
🟣
The devastating lack of regulation in the technology sector has created a class of unchecked, megalomaniacal billionaire asshole oligarch-wannabes with messiah complexes intent on increasing their dominion over sociopolitical power. To do this, they have aligned with theocratic Christo-fascists and noxious MAGA cultists to attempt a widespread takedown of the U.S. federal government and the elimination of any semblance of free and fair elections.
🟣
Globally, patriarchy has terrorized populations for more than a millennium, using conquest and conquering to subjugate and eliminate all who stand in its path. Euro-centric Christians murderously rampaged in the name of colonialism, relatively unimpeded in an insatiable drive to pilfer and hoard resources and power. In the West, hyper-individualism generated by worship of the myth of extreme masculinity — a pillar of patriarchy — has resulted in emotional fragility and immaturity of men, as well as a rise in male grievance narcissism. Despite monumental efforts to thwart these perpetual horrors, an anemia of communal and virtuous societal structures plagues the planet, beckoning instability and eventual human extinction.
The 2024 U.S. election was a symptom of these colluding catastrophes.
