After Trump’s victory, the bubble of right-wing extremism in the United States re-emerged. On the front lines of misogynistic rhetoric is scandal activist Nick Fuentes.
The United States has achieved great success in electing Republicans. Most importantly, Donald Trump's victory has emboldened the 78-year-old supporter of right-wing extremism. They pissed people off online with misogynistic slogans – the whole thing stopped being funny.
At the forefront was white supremacy supporter Nick Fuentes. A video of the 26-year-old is going viral, in which he turns the feminist saying “my body, my choice” around and says, laughing: “your body, my choice,” I decision. In the video, he also stated that “men are winning again” and that “there will never be a female president.”
“Sex with women is homosexual”
Nick Fuentes is known for his racist and anti-Semitic comments. He often praised Adolf Hitler and repeatedly questioned whether the Holocaust actually happened, the Texas Tribune reported. He openly despised women and said:
“Having sex with women is homosexual.”
He has also openly dreamed of marrying a 16-year-old girl, praised Putin for waging war in Ukraine and sympathized with the Taliban. He has repeatedly expressed disdain for Muslims and the LGBTQ+ community. The 26-year-old Mexican-American said last year:
“All I want is revenge on my enemies and total Aryan victory.”
Despite these comments, Fuentes is not an unaffected and angry citizen. He has over 400,000 followers online. Since then, Nick Fuentes has often used humor and sarcasm to express his most extreme views. This is called “irony poisoning.” It allows creators to make extreme statements and then claim they were joking.
In fact, however, the whole thing was more than just a joke, as one TikToker's video shows a man wearing a MAGA hat walking up to her and telling her: “Your body, my choice.”
On X, Fuentes has been adding fuel to the fire since the video went viral. He posted memes and repeatedly wrote: “Your body. My choice. Forever.” Fuentes received encouragement from fans in X and in the comments of some TikTok videos. You'll read “He's right” or “Finally someone said that.”

“Your balls, my knees”
However, the American provocations were also followed by waves of resistance. “If my body is your decision, then your body is mine. Your balls, my knees,” a user on TikTok wrote, while another said: “Y'all are rapists, Did you know you can report it?”
