Cucks? Low Testosterone? No Stamina? Snowflakes?
The Trump campaign gaslit this country with these catchphrases, and his base ran with it.
The tables have turned and his base is dead silent. Or disappeared completely.
S2 boardies, lefties or righties, how would you describe this experience? How would you fix it?
IMHO Trump bred extremists and this country will always be devided - which it has always been since the civil war, but not to this degree. Why? the digital media era changed the game.
These phrases were borne out of insecurity and fear. They were a call by Trump's campaign to rile up, enlargen, and strengthen his base of conservtive white men afraid of losing their percieved dominance. They were losing what they felt was their innate right.
Trump threw it in their faces. A black man had been elected president. Women had gained equality and were calling out men in the workplace for sexually objectifying, harrassing, and assaulting them. Powerful men were being taken down.
Trump's message during his campaign was to stop this. To make America great again. That message wasn't about the economy or healthcare, it was a message to white men, nationalists, who bad been watching the collapse of their way of life. The hate, anger, and mostly the fear building. The United States had become the most diverse melting pot in the world. These men were there. Always there but didn't have the voice they once did. Thry felt they were neutured by a progressive society. That is, till Trump gave it back to them.
Trump professed that the constitution says this country belongs to white men. And, it was being taken away. What better way to stoke that fear than a race against a powerful alpha female in Hillary Clinton. He rode the fear and anger to the Whitehouse. Now, these same supporters have to stand with Trump no matter what. They will swear up and down Trump is innocent, no matter how much proof there is. They will deny it. They have too. If he loses, they lose again.
The tables are indeed turning. It scares them. Mueller represents the liberal society cuckholded by progress. His supporters are waiting to see what happens.
There is probably no fixing it. There will always be divide. And, it is not Trump bred. He just reawoke it in his campaign, to use it for his own political gain and a boost for his ego.
Male dominance in society goes back long before the civil war. It goes back to the beginning where cavemen exerted their power over women. They were in charge. Such hierarchy seems to be an innate aspect of the male species. Is it learned? Or is it coded in our very DNA?
In equalizing that dynamic we may very well be evolving against a set system rooted deeply in our genetic structure. Or maybe men just happened to be the ones who took control long ago and don't want to give it up.
Why to this degree? Maybe this is an apex, a point at which the state of this struggle over control has reached a boiling point. Progress can only go so far before it can't be stopped. Even with Trump as president, progress is still in gear. Powerful men are still being taken down. Women and people of diverse background are being elected into government. A woman will be elected president. Its only a matter of time. That scares the shit out of some people. That the countries most powerful position, which has been dominated since the birth of the country by white men is in danger, if not only a black man but a woman could find themselves there.
