For my fellow Cassandras.
The author talks about anti-alarmism in the mainstream media and among liberals (failure to recognize an actual emergency in progress - e.g. refusing to see MAGA as a real threat) as driven by men's gender insecurity and need to distance themselves from behavior that is female coded.
tl;dr
Cassandras are more likely to:
-be women
-belong to a minoritized group in some meaningful way
-have spent considerable amounts of time among conservative populations
-be clear, critical thinkers who can connect the dots between different types of bad behavior
