Their only measure of "manliness" is cruelty (hexbear.net)

Trump is a musical theater fan who dodged the draft, gossips about teen actors love lives, has never worked a day in his life, isn't in shape and has no signifiers of masculinity. He gets to be the pinnacle of masculinity purely because he represents cruelty.

Likewise no matter how grizzled whoever the Dems put up is they will always be effeminate in comparison, no matter how many of their supposed criteria for masculinity they fulfill.

Beyond the dems, none of their political opponents can ever be real men. No socialist is anything but a (gay) effeminate loser, nothing but their unwillingness to be performative cruel will ever be considered.

idk why draft dodging is an insult.. everybody is antiwar until it comes to people actually not going to war

It matters that they define the military as the epitome of masculinity and refusal to engage with it as unmanly until Trump doesn't want to do it.

they just obliterate the class analysis. dodging the draft via the means used by trump or george w bush is bad because the bourgeoise are bad. dodging it by proletarian means is cool.
