What a flimsy, puny man. I can’t say I blame anyone for not wanting him as their leader. With that said, it’s pretty obvious what’s going on: by fomenting chaos, otherwise marginal figures like Boebert and Gaetz have been able to expand and elevate their personal brands among the most rabid and online of the Republican base, to the point where they are now in open, bratty defiance to their “favorite president ever,” seemingly without provoking any real pushback. Instead, their defiance of Trump seems to excite their supporters, like a broken taboo. In their warped Manichean worldview anyone against them is a “beta” with “low T,￼” or a “harlot;” the language and imagery is misogynistic, sexualized and juvenile. Crazy that the Republican leadership has lost the floor to, essentially, Nick Fuentes and the incels.
