It’s not just right wing men that get sucked in tbh. The few people I know who’ve gone done this route were largely apolitical beforehand.
It’s an easy and powerful message, the alpha male, hard man image. Is repeated time and time again.
Basically if you are a bloke, and you have to present as really hard, powerful, alpha etc you are probably hiding a dark secret.
It's like the most homophobic people are normally closet homosexuals.
I'm always very wary of blokes who go on about how alpha they are. It's a big red flag. What are they trying to hide?
