Trump Appeals More to Men Who Are Sexually Insecure
November 29, 2018 at 6:56 am EST By Taegan Goddard
But our research suggests that Trump is not necessarily attracting male supporters who are as confidently masculine as the president presents himself to be. Instead, Trump appears to appeal more to men who are secretly insecure about their manhood.

(9,090 posts)authoritarians have a bigger problem with right handed masturbation than liberals do
the sowb theory suggests conservatives are diverting more of their sex energy to brain functions/areas for logic/problem solving etc, that need to be patient and objective, instead of to the creative orgasmic parts
so they're getting smaller orgasms and more sexual dysfunction, while that impatient satisfaction-demanding sex energy creates an irrational need for quick easy answers and finality, which doesn't exist, so they get scared until a leader like trump comes along and gives them certainty and quick easy answers

best you can with a 10 watt bulb.

(45,438 posts)Are his female supporters insecure about their womanhood and they need an authoritarian man to take charge of things and protect them from immigrants?

(12,652 posts)Women who grow up infantilized or experience constant re-enforcement that they are second class citizens with limited social role responsibilities have developed the emotional need to have outwardly authoritarian men take responsibility for their wellbeing. As they have no agency of their own, they depend on the agency of a protector for their future.
So, like adolescents, those who are naturally independent will not be so fearful of life and reality in general, even as they may be forced participate in whatever social dance structure they live in, while the average female in the same society will look to and take on the positions of whomever their chosen male peer/protector has.
And if all that is around them are MAGAts who have no future or opportunities, and are fearful of change - that's what creates female Drumpf supporters.
Female MAGAts generally know he's loudmouthed scum that should be ignored - they'd ignore his type if he was poor and walked into a bar attempting to pick them up, but since he's rich, they will follow him as blindly as everyone else around them. Because to take a stand against one's peers ostracizes one from the protection of the herd.

(23,099 posts)He's a weak person's idea of a strong man because inside he's insecure as hell or he wouldn't have to say anything about his brain or dick size. Really smart and really gifted people do not go around bragging about it, because they don't need to, it's obvious. drumpf is the kid who threw the cake around at his brothers' birthday party because it wasn't his and he wanted to ruin the celebration of his dads' favorite son, because it wasn't him. Now, he's got PUtin telling him what to do and he totally grovels before him for what he thinks is his own profit, but PUtin knows it's all about hurting America and helping Russia for orange assmouth's personal gain.
