Rape in the United States has Skyrocketed since Trump was Elected

The flames of anti-feminine rhetoric, and the Trump popularity were well before 2017. This article is from August, 2015.

18 Real Things Donald Trump Has Actually Said About Women | HuffPost

Fox News’ Megyn Kelly called him out on his sexist behavior during the GOP debate on August 6, reminding him: “You have called women you don’t like ‘fat pigs’, ‘dogs’, ‘slobs’, and ‘disgusting animals.”
...
26,000 unreported sexual assults in the military-only 238 convictions. What did these geniuses expect when they put men & women together?
...
“It’s certainly not groundbreaking news that the early victories by the women on ‘The Apprentice’ were, to a very large extent, dependent on their sex appeal.”
...
“You know, it doesn’t really matter what [the media] write as long as you’ve got a young and beautiful piece of ass.”
...
While @BetteMidler is an extremely unattractive woman, I refuse to say that because I always insist on being politically correct.

A new way to blame Trump.

If Trump was alive during the bad thing that happened, then the anticipation of his rise to dictatorial power is to blame.

Is there a way to play circus music in a post?

I've already acknowledged that there could be some truth to what you say. As somebody else mentioned - the "Me Too" movement has taken hold. I cannot, however, find any data on this - for example - women who acknowledge that they have been raped, and wouldn't have reported it a few years ago.

Because the data is not available.

Seriously.. do you really think that people are more likely to rape because of who is in the presidency? Come on man.

Just as the alleged Russian interference took place in 2016. Trump wasn't president then

I thought so to but I looked it up... it is correct. The highest increase ever... from 90-something to over 130 million... so, by over 30 million rapes, it is actually astounding.

Rape cases are way up under Trump - more than any time in US history. I guess male domination is back en vogue under this president.

You know what I find most interesting in that?

The biggest change happened in 2016. And in case some have forgotten, the President at that time was not the President in office now. In fact, the states for the previous 6 years show an increase from 85k to 91k rapes per year. And a staggering 31k increase in the last year of the previous President.

So if I am to look at that from a purely political standpoint and ignore anything else, I would look at that and say that the Obama Administration left behind a shambles of a Rape Culture, and the current President has at least flattened out that curve, seeing an increase of only 3k rapes per year, as opposed to the 31k increase the year prior.

OK, please tell me when I can stop bashing my head into my desk.

Please? Because this post really wants to make me do just this.

Are you actually stating there were over 130 million rapes? And an increase of 30 million rapes?

Let me say this again. 130 million rapes.

There are only 165 million females in the entire country. So you are actually trying to claim something like 8 in 10 of all females in the US are raped every year on average? And that this number had increased by roughly 1 in 5 over previous years?

Yea, I think this entire thread has now given me brain cancer.
