We’ve reported on multiple instances of media and voter meltdowns over Donald Trump’s drubbing of Kamala Harris in the presidential election. One demographic that seems to be taking it particularly hard is women. They’re not only shaving their heads in protest, but some are talking about refusing to have sex with men or have babies (the “4B movement”) and showing their devotion to the cause by wearing blue bracelets.
What any of this will accomplish is beyond me.
Now some are taking out their frustrations by fantasizing about… killing men. Yes, really. We can only hope they’re not serious, but sometimes social media phenomena do actually have deadly effects. All it would take is for one of these unhinged weirdos to take it all one step too far.
The movement is called “Make Aqua Tofana Great Again” (MATGA — how clever) and is named after the poison Aqua Tofana, supposedly created by a Sicilian woman in the 17th century for the purpose of helping wives bump off their husbands undetected. Legend has it that her invention led to the deaths of 600 unfortunate spouses.
Now these bitter ladies are fantasizing about making their own potion, as if somehow that will bring revenge for Trump’s victory. In the video, multiple women pour liquids, presumably Aqua Tofana, into glasses and profess their desire for murder:
Watching women posture on TikTok about untraceable poisons used in 17th c. Italy to take out abusive husbands and jokingly calling it “Make Aqua Tofana Great Again” (MATGA) feels like a modern primer on how the hysteria of Salem, Massachusetts spread.

“They asked for it,” one woman writes in a caption. One green-haired, um, person, says, “Speaking to me is a privilege.” Not having to speak with you would be a privilege, lady.
“You [sic] body, my choice,” writes another (implying her choice would be to kill you). “Aqua Tofana isn’t that hard to make.” She then makes a throat-slitting motion and gives the middle finger to the camera. Lovely.
It is not cute stuff they’re talking about here: the poison was made with ingredients like arsenic and belladonna and takes its time killing you:
The indetectibility of Aqua Tofana, then, was the poison’s greatest asset. “The acutest analysts,” Chambers’s [Journal] continues, “were utterly unable to testify to its presence in the organs of one of its victims after the most searching post-mortem examination. It was, in fact, the poisoner’s beau-idéal of a poison.” And its slow action had two key benefits: it made the symptoms it produced in its victims resemble those of advancing disease, and – no small matter in deeply religious Italy – it not only gave a dying husband time to put his affairs in order, but also ensured that he was able to repent his sins. Since that in turn was thought to guarantee his entry into heaven, his killer did not even need to feel much guilt over the fate of his eternal soul.

Enjoy Some of the Most Unhinged and Delicious Reactions to Trump’s Victory on Social Media
We’ve seen some spectacularly bad behavior from leftists since the election’s outcome became known—mostly on social media and cable news—and while sometimes it can be funny, it’s also rotten at its core. It’s one thing for a woman to say she won’t have sex with men, but it’s quite another to announce her intention to kill them. While they may not be honestly planning to do that and think it’s all just one cute joke, all it takes is for one person to take all this too seriously and turn it in a dangerous direction.
Imagine if men made videos like that about women. CNN might spontaneously explode on the spot.
Trump won, ladies. Get over it.
