MAGA is obsessed with 'masculinity.' Alex Pretti modeled what it really looks like.

2. MAGA believes performative masculinity is real masculinity.

Eat red meat, don’t get vaccinated, accumulate useless displays of wealth, bully others and take “what’s yours,” show no emotion, display your “alpha” status by using pick up artist tricks and then use women for sex without forming an attachment to them, explode in anger against those around you and dominate them with aggression.

This is what MAGA thinks real masculinity is, and, it’s fucking stupid. It starts with thinking Trump is in any way a symbol of masculinity, and, disintegrates from there. Most of the right wing commentators do these weird, insecure displays of masculinity (eg Matt Walsh’s Amazon Specials hunting gear in the background to make him seem rugged). It’s all for show, and, the inauthenticity is obvious.
