Trump appeals to men who suffer from ‘fragile masculinity’ - GoFuckYourself.com

This makes perfect sense...........

Two psychologists at New York University have conducted a study showing how President Donald Trump appeals directly to men who suffer from what they call “fragile masculinity.”

New York University psychology professor Eric Knowles and NYU psychology doctoral student Sarah DiMuccio claim that many male Trump supporters feel far more insecure in their own masculinity than they’d have you believe — and they are drawn to Trump’s authoritarian rhetoric because it makes them feel more powerful.

“The political process provides a way that fragile men can reaffirm their masculinity,” they write. “By supporting tough politicians and policies, men can reassure others (and themselves) of their own manliness.”

In particular, the researchers found that there was a strong correlation between counties that voted overwhelmingly for Trump and internet searches for topics related to masculine insecurity, including “erectile dysfunction,” “hair loss,” “how to get girls,” “penis enlargement,” “penis size,” “steroids,” “testosterone” and “Viagra.”

Most interestingly, the researchers found there was not a strong correlation between these search items and votes for Mitt Romney in 2012 and John McCain in 2008, which seems to indicate that Trump was uniquely adept at awakening “fragile male” voters.

“Our data suggests that fragile masculinity is a critical feature of our current politics,” they conclude. “We suspect… Trump’s re-engineering of the GOP as a party inextricably tied to many Americans’ identity concerns — whether based on race, religion or gender — will ensure that fragile masculinity remains a force in politics.”

Strangely there was another fella who used similar tactics to gain power by appealing to the lowest primeval tribal instincts.

Problem is that you mention that fellas name and the Trumpists get their knickers in an awful twist.

I am manly as fuck and I think trump is an idiot so I can confirm that OP is right...

I don't look at Trump supporters as men, because they're worshipping a false idol. Trump is a facade of a man and not even good facade at that. He tweets childish insults at defenseless targets, gets into spats with women, boasts about (faux) accomplishments, etc. He's the very definition of a beta male and all of these losers think he's a god. I would almost feel sorry for them if I didn't hate their fucking guts so much. The only way Trump supporters could make the world better is by leaving it. They will not be missed.

This explains Trump's comments yesterday about not liking Russian aggression. Cuckery

Thats a great analogy

Yes I'm sure some liberal psych professor at a liberal NY college knows the real scoop. I'm sure this is the reason 83% of US counties voted for Trump.

This is such nonsense. Pathologizing men for supporting a certain political candidate is inane garbage. This kind of armchair psychoanalysis isn't valuable, or valid, and apparently this was reached by correlating search results for "Trump" and "Viagra"? I'd love to know more about their methodology.

Perhaps this is a function of more granular data in contrast with 2012. Older males will search for Viagra. Also, in the case of ED drugs, that's not insecurity -- it's a question of function. As for male Trump supporters, compared to 2012 a higher proportion were derived from the working-class and have had a rough time for the past 10 years in particular. Mocking these men as being "fragile" for rising suicide rates, opioid addiction, joblessness following automation, illegal immigration and offshoring is simply nasty.

Nixon's approval rating amongst Republicans was 25% the day he quit office to avoid being removed by impeachment.

There is a black tar core of Republicans that will support their guy no matter what evil they do and how much they lie it's part of their mental defect illness.
