In light of Trump boasting of grabbing women "by the pussy" and of him
calling Clinton a "nasty woman" on national TV during a formal presidential
debate, I wonder what effect, if any, his election may have on the WP
working environment.
Since the election there have been numerous reports of women and minorities
being openly attacked by emboldened men and women and who supported Trump
and his... values. Apparently this was the case in Englad post-Brexit, too?
Has anyone else thought about this?

I have encountered a definite upswing in hostile aggressive POV-pushing
by alt-right editors.
