Salon Magazine: Tim Walz’s Innate Masculinity ‘Drives MAGA Men Nuts’Simon Kent 3 Sep 2024
Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, Vice President Kamala Harris’s Democratic running mate in the 2024 race for the White House, is scaring “MAGA men” by subverting the traditional patriarchy and “offering living proof their tormented masculinity is yesterday’s news” according to an essay in Salon magazine.
The commentary, contributed by Christopher Cotton, is a long piece that sets out the argument a revolution is reshaping how men view themselves in society and it is being led from the front by Walz and his “dad” vibes.
The sheer fact Walz is running second on the ticket behind to a woman in the race is somehow proof he is he is defeating the accepted wisdom of American masculinity and challenging the dogma personified by “MAGA men.”
It focuses specifically on the MAGA movement as somehow emblematic of yesterday’s forces in society that now need reshaping, arguing, “The MAGA movement is a kind of latter-day Ghost Dance: a desperate attempt to recover the supposed lost birthright of men and restore a perceived rightful power.”
The essay cites events outside the Capitol on January 6, 201 as an example of dwindling MAGA influence and the alleged weakness of its followers, stating:
After Donald Trump lost the 2020 election, his inability to concede might be explained by his psychic wounds and subconscious terrors. That’s his problem. But when millions of Americans latch onto his obvious lie, we have to look for deeper causes. His own pathology rings true to them because they feel deeper anxieties with which Trump connects. They cannot bear to admit defeat.
