"Men" who support Trump are the absolute weakest, most profoundly insecure, and hyperfragile bunch in the country. They're constantly terrified that they might be gay, they crave having other, "stronger" men tell them what to do, and the only way they know how to "feel like a man" is to degrade/blame women. They're cowards who hide behind guns and Bibles, who rely on threats and violence bc they know they're terminally unpopular. I'm glad these assholes are miserable, they're repulsive ppl.
