How they "think"....and they're deathly afraid of the Donald--------The G.O.P.’s Misogyny Primary

The G.O.P.’s Misogyny Primary - The New Yorker
The first Republican Presidential debate offered a chance to think about the relationship between misogyny and certain types of opposition to abortion.
In the United States, our most successful demagogues have often become so by making skillful use of whatever the newest media was at the time.
Charles Coughlin, the Catholic priest who railed against Jews and capitalism in the nineteen-thirties, did most of his railing via the radios that the American masses had just recently acquired.
In the early fifties, Joseph McCarthy took advantage of television’s advent to attract gavel-to-gavel attention for his congressional hearings.
Donald Trump is a celebrity demagogue, and, for the moment, anyway, the leading Republican Presidential candidate, because of reality television and Twitter.
Both forms shaped Trump’s persona: he’s their creature.
On his own reality-TV show, “The Apprentice,” and now on the campaign trail, Trump displays the particular personality traits that get amped up, hyped, and rewarded on the crassest of these series: he’s as thin-skinned, tantrum-prone, “outrageous,” and narcissistic as a “Real Housewives” villain.
Trump also does a lot of his posturing on the Internet, where trollish taunts can win you a following, and where women sometimes come in for particular contempt.
He has a taste for that, too, as we all know now, if we didn’t before the debate last Thursday.
Here in America, at the beginning of the twenty-first century, sexism is very much on the wane, but misogyny is not.
Sexism—the conviction that women don’t deserve equal pay, political rights, or access to education—can be combatted by argument, by anti-discrimination laws, and by giving women the opportunity to prove their ability.
Misogyny is not amenable to such advances; they can in some circumstances exacerbate it, though they may drive it underground. 
An example of misogyny is when someone online threatens to rape and mutilate a woman whose opinions that person does not like. 
Another is when a Presidential candidate says of a female journalist whose questions he finds impertinent, “There was blood coming out of her eyes, blood coming out of her—wherever.”
