Globally, democratic politics are under attack from Electorally Legitimated Misogynist Authoritarian (
#ELMA) leaders who successfully use
#misogyny as a political strategy and present environmental concern in feminine and inferior terms.
The ascendancy of such projects raise questions involving
#socioeconomic structures, political communication, and the psychological underpinnings of people's attitudes.
misogyny, conceptualized in a specific way – not simply as hatred or disgust for women, but as a way of accessing a gendered hierarchy whereby that which is labeled “
#feminine” is perceived as inferior, devalued, and amenable to be attacked – is a relevant transmission mechanism in how ELMAs like Trump may connect with public opinion by systematically investigating the interplay between misogyny,
#authoritarianism, and
#climate change in the context of the United States.
