A new POLITICO Magazine/IPSOS poll shows that people have very different ideas on the solutions to the challenges facing men and boys. And those differences are affecting how they vote.
Tbf, I'm an anarchist/antifascist (aka non-Trump voter), and I definitely have strong opinions on manhood. They just happen to be the opposite of what the MAGA nuts would believe.
The most interesting piece of this for me is that the "gender politics index" is an even stronger predictor of Trumpy support than the "modern sexism index." The gender politics piece is outrage politics - it's culture-war, cult of victimhood stuff with minimal substantive claims attached. And that's what most strongly predicts voting preferences.
What that means to me is that, as with everything that makes the news coming out of high profile republicans, their positions are utterly cynical and calculated to induce fear-based rage voting, rather than a reflection of a sincerely held set of moral and cultural beliefs.
This is an interesting article showing about across the political divide people feel about masculinity. Interesting to see that both feel like a new definition it's needed with positive role models. The difference is which direction to go.
Why should I care if someone is a Trump voter? So I can hate them?During the course of a conversation you’ll begin to tell. Ask the bigger question. Why do Trump supporters exist?
