Tim Walz’s Masculinity Is Terrifying to Republicans

[Crepitus]

Kamala and her VP cowardly pick do not have an agenda on their website... no plan at all... you are a sucker to even support them before they do....

you claimed a communist agenda. Are you now backing up?

Trump is an alpha male, has a swagger, but is a bit rotund to cut a masculine figure.

Is alpha seen as the New, old, pudgy white guy?

As a male, I don't think so.

weak.

Yes, he is.

Kamala Harris’ running mate has traditional “manly man” traits. He’s also not frightened of women, afraid of Black people or terrified of the future.

Since Tuesday, when Vice President Kamala Harris introduced Minnesota Governor Tim Walz as her running mate, Republicans have scaled back their initial attacks on Harris’ race and gender. Instead, they have targeted the traditional signifiers of Walz’s masculinity.

It’s hardly surprising. Any liberal Democrat whose resume includes football coach, military veteran and sharp-shooting hunter is a challenge to MAGA mythology, which posits that liberalism and feminism threaten traditional masculinity, so you’d better vote Republican before marauding Amazons take your endangered man card away.

Those traditional manly traits are threatening enough on their own. But if such a marksman, state-title-winning football coach and regular guy can happily play second fiddle to a Black woman running for president, then what does that say about MAGA’s efforts to reverse-engineer the 21st century? After all, if a middle-aged, heterosexual White guy who likes to hunt doesn’t have to live in constant fear of losing status and doesn’t need traditional gender and racial hierarchies to validate his life choices, then what does he need Donald Trump and JD Vance for?

Bloomberg - Are you a robot?

Hear that boys? We are afraid of Walz.

This thread is stupider than a Tommy thread. That's amazing!
