New Study Reveals Searches For Erectile Dysfunction Correlated With Support For Trump

A new study out of New York University found that President Donald Trump appeals to men with fragile masculinity.
The utterly unsurprising analysis, published in the Washington Post on Thursday, also revealed that Republican candidates facing a Democrat drew more support in areas of the country with higher levels of fragile masculinity in 2018 House races.
NYU Psychology professor Eric Knowles and doctoral student Sarah DiMuccio say that male Trump supporters are much more insecure with their own masculinity than you’d think, and that Trump’s authoritarian, cartoonishly-machismo rhetoric makes them feel more powerful.
The researchers used Google Trends and sampled 300 men to determine that Trump appears to attract male supporters seeking to reaffirm their manliness.
“The political process provides a way that fragile men can reaffirm their masculinity,” write Knowles and DiMuccio. “By supporting tough politicians and policies, men can reassure others (and themselves) of their own manliness.”

Is that why he can't "get his support up" above 40%? He's losing elevation to the "soft vote"?

Quotable quotes:

"I'm really rich."
--Donald Trump

"It is a bad thing for a nation to raise and to admire a false standard of success; and there can be no falser standard than that set by the deification of material well-being in and for itself."
--Theodore Roosevelt

Altogether too much discussion about Trump - that's why I don't look at his threads too much any more! He has his rough edges and he has his good points and we've read them all a thousand times. One in a blue moon I'll check one out to see if miraculously he's changed! Guess what! He won't until 6 months before the next election.

This is the name of the thread: Trump's AMERICA : 2018 (& world reaction )

I'm sure that there's a fly tying thread, somewhere. Go post on that.

Poignant and sad words from Charles Pierce in Esquire:
.
"In my life, I have watched John Kennedy talk on television about missiles in Cuba. I saw Lyndon Johnson look Richard Russell squarely in the eye and say, "And we shall overcome."
.
I saw Richard Nixon resign and Gerald Ford tell the Congress that our long national nightmare was over. I saw Jimmy Carter talk about malaise and Ronald Reagan talk about a shining city on a hill. I saw George H.W. Bush deliver the eulogy for the Soviet bloc, and Bill Clinton comfort the survivors of Timothy McVeigh's madness in Oklahoma City.
.
I saw George W. Bush struggle to make sense of it all on September 11, 2001, and I saw Barack Obama sing "Amazing Grace" in the wounded sanctuary of Mother Emanuel Church in Charleston, South Carolina.
.
These were the presidents of my lifetime. These were not perfect men. They were not perfect presidents, God knows. Not one of them was that. But they approached the job, and they took to the podium, with all the gravitas they could muster as appropriate to the job.
.
They tried, at least, to reach for something in the presidency that was beyond their grasp as ordinary human beings. They were not all ennobled by the attempt, but they tried nonetheless.
.
And comes now this hopeless, vicious buffoon, and the audience of equally hopeless and vicious buffoons who laughed and cheered when he made sport of a woman whose lasting memory of the trauma she suffered is the laughter of the perpetrators.
.
Now he comes, a man swathed in scandal, with no interest beyond what he can put in his pocket and what he can put over on a universe of suckers, and he does something like this while occupying an office that we gave him, and while endowed with a public trust that he dishonors every day he wakes up in the White House.
.
He is the scion of a multigenerational criminal enterprise, the parameters of which we are only now beginning to comprehend, a vessel for all the worst elements of the American condition and a cheap, soulless bully besides.
.
Watch him make fun of the woman again. Watch how a republic dies in the empty eyes of an empty man who feels nothing but his own imaginary greatness, and who cannot find in himself the decency simply to shut the %$^& up even when it is in his best interest to do so.
.
Presidents don't have to be heroes to be good presidents. They just have to realize that their humanity is our common humanity, and that their political commonwealth is our political commonwealth, too.

Poor JT, that same smile didn't twitch the whole time he was on the platform. Nice to see what talents are needed to lead a country like Canada.

It would be nice if we could trade him straight across for Trump. Balls are better than hair any day! :)
