      Sadly enough people like him to elect Trump wannabes. Argentina, the Netherlands, Germany, Hungary, Portugal, Britain (look at the latest county elections).

        i mean, consider the following:

        when i was a kid, the general societal narrative was that you’re a man, you gotta be strong, you gotta not be so sensitive, certain things just have to get done, man up.

        If you’re exposed to that mentality 100% of the time, and you absorb it and live exactly by these rules, then certainly you would expect to be well-liked, having fulfilled all the rules and all, no? That is why people having that kind of toxic behavior always think they’re well-liked: because they follow all the advise they were given when they grew up. so certainly, things must be alright for them, no?

          I think it’s because the media always portrays right wing ideologies as more popular than they are personally.
