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.

Wherever there are men, no matter how marginalized in any other aspects, they will always selfradicalize into violent misogynists

Yes because masculinity, as a social caste, is built around misogyny and the oppression of women. This is nothing to do with gender essentialism or bio essentialism. Doing misogyny is THE way to affirm your participation in the social caste of masculinity.
