What happens when red pill content leaves the group chat and hits the ballot box? In this episode of We Vote Too, host Leise Winny is joined by filmmaker, writer, host, and educator Nerra Muhammad to break down how red pill ideology has become more than just toxic dating advice—it’s a gateway to misogyny, racism, and far-right politics.
Together, we unpack why young white men are shifting toward Trump, how patriarchy harms everyone, and what it means to love—and fight for—a better future. From TikTok to the voting booth, it’s time to talk about how masculinity became a battlefield.
