The Angry White Male Caucus
Trumpism is all about the fear of losing traditional privilege.
By Paul Krugman

When Matt Damon did his Brett Kavanaugh imitation on “Saturday Night Live,” you could tell that he nailed it before he said a word. It was all about the face — that sneering, rage-filled scowl. Kavanaugh didn’t sound like a judge at his Senate hearing last week, let alone a potential Supreme Court justice; he didn’t even manage to look like one.
But then again, Lindsey Graham, who went through the hearing with pretty much the same expression on his face, didn’t look much like a senator, either.
There have been many studies of the forces driving Trump support, and in particular the rage that is so pervasive a feature of the MAGA movement. What Thursday’s hearing drove home, however, was that white male rage isn’t restricted to blue-collar guys in diners. It’s also present among people who’ve done very well in life’s lottery, whom you would normally consider very much part of the elite.
In other words, hatred can go along with high income, and all too often does.

Only to people who are obsessed with him 24/7. He's a good guy if you can get him and keep him on your side!
The one that had a CIA member as a father. They have a 24step program when they quit, the first 12 have to do with stopping being a chronic liar. That is also the hardest part so not many of them make it.
Kavanaugh��s temperament and credibility emerge as flash points
Democrats increasingly pointed to Supreme Court nominee Brett M. Kavanaugh��s at times testy and emotional performance at last week��s Senate hearing. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell vowed to hold a vote on the nomination ��here on this floor, this week.��

Not sure it means all that much Trump had serious credibility and temperament sues........and got elected anyhow. The republicans have a very low standard now.

Trump tells a female reporter that she never thinks.
Trump is the very embodiment of a male chauvinist pig. He gives shit a bad name.
