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.

I'm a huge dude. 200 cm, decently muscular. I wear a mask due to my disability. I walk past chuds all the time where I live, and I can see it in their eyes. How badly they want to yell at me for it. To say some snide comment (they wouldn't get physical, its the Midwest). They want so badly to be cruel, but they can't, because the fact is I look like I could pack them up without breaking a sweat. Every once in a while, a drunk guy will the the gumption to talk to me, but they just ask politely why I'm wearing it. It provides me with a sick satisfaction to see them be subjected to the powerlessness they want desperately to cause me.

I wouldn't say everyone needs to, but as leftists we should be forming parties and aid groups anyway, the bigger people should be there to protect everyone else.
