  • That probably describes a good chunk of Trump supporters. They are very enamored by the idea of strength and the terms they use reflect that influence it has on their world. The idea that America is presently diminished and will become great = a strong and respected nation leading other nations. The desire for hypermasculine men and submissive women. If their leader looks weak, they’re sensitive to that. They’ll deny it as long as they can, of course. But there could very well be a point where the collective feeling turns away from Trump.












  • The far right is obsessed with this image of hyper masculinity from Alex Jones’s magic pills to Andrew Tate to AI generated Trump with Superman’s figure. Their ideal men in that world do not show emotion and they damn well never cry even in happiness, that stuff is for women and other weaklings that need a strong man to run their lives. And it’s all based in insecurity.

    They have no idea that people with real strength of character are secure in themselves and can show tenderness and vulnerability knowing that does not define them as weak.
