Trump isn’t an icon of positive masculinity. He also did very little for young men during his four years as president

But he has their prejudices, incel misogyny, and hatreds on public display. That’s good enough for many.

Also, there are far too many that see the world burning as some kind of entertainment. I hate to be the old guy yelling at people on the lawn, but I don’t know if the popular social media theme of destroying or damaging things, or doing mean shit to people for lols, is a symptom or a display that encourages or makes that behavior ok. There’s no consequences for that behavior, it’s entertainment, and some of that same attitude seems to bleed over into real-life actions.

I have definitely worked with people who voted for trump for no other reason than lols and to stir shit up.
