    I will never understand Trump’s appeal. I assume so many men prefer Trump because they think he is somehow a strong leader, but he isn’t. He’s weak and stupid. Maybe that’s the problem: they want strength, but they don’t know what real strength is, so they mistake arrogance and malignant narcissism for strength. It’s insecure men being led by insecure men.

    It’s so interesting that just before Trump there was Obama, an actual strong man. He was confident, articulate, posed and charismatic, as well as caring and empathetic, and the insecure men of this country hated him. They hated him because they thought to be a strong man means walking around beating your own puffed out chest while telling everyone how strong you are. They think that to show that you are strong you have to bully and demean. They’re scared and unsure, and so they overcompensate. A condition that Trump is the poster child for.

      I can’t imagine some of the areas around the country really. Im in a large city and the percentages are way lower which means there are areas where the large majority actually like this guy and what he does???

      The rightoids have never liked women having real jobs or being equals so yeah they should be hella more concerned. I also think women as a population are under exposed to the crypto game so that’ll hurt them when the GENIUS act takes hold. The smart ones can see the writing on the wall when Trump tariffs working women and removes all the single parent child assistance. They’ll either starve or have to marry some crusty crypto bro.

      I guess on the plus side a non zero number of boomers will get their basements back and that 30year old man child will be some other ladies problem.

    Women are more worried about the economy under Trump than they are about men or than men are worried about the economy under Trump, this is typical of a poll. Phrasing.
