Because their dads were abusive authoritarians, so they have daddy issues.

They are kinda kinky

They are scared little boys. Their fathers were emotionally (maybe physically) abusive and didn’t give them agency, just expected “respect” (do as I say)

“Man up, sit down

Chin up, pipe down

Socks up, don't cry

Drink up, just lie

Grow some balls, he said

Grow some balls”

It’s their kink. That’s why Grindr gets overwhelmed every time they gather. I work construction and it’s the same thing there they always rally around one guy (usually a foreman) and compete for his attention. We had a foreman one time who was conventionally handsome an id say pretty cool and I shit you not dudes were talking about how he edges before working out and they all started doing it and then somehow they got a picture of his dick and we’re going around shoving it in eachothers faces and calling eachother gay “because they looked at this guy’s dick”. They started drinking the same energy drinks that he drank. I wish someone would do a psychological study on it is weird. It’s a thing

Fear.

They rally around figures who look strong because they're afraid of losing social status, or feeling xenophobia due to racism, or insecure over economic concerns. As always, everything is projection with these dipshits. They let fear drive them into the sort of groupthink mob they accuse liberals of being.

Adding to shit post ^.^

It's simple. They are super insecure guys and want to feel big, so they are assholes to women because women are easy targets. They drive massive trucks, love to BBQ and watch sports with other insecure men, but at the same time they lack any real identity and are completely lost without their mommy to take them by their hand. But mommy is a woman, and having your mommy to care for your insecure ass looks stupid to your friends, so you just follow another screaming asshole so you look touch yourself (you do not, you're a sad piece of garbage and everyone sees it).

Because part of conservatism is the idea that hierarchies based on who your parents are, and the fact that you're male, etc. are proper and right.

They want to submit to the people who are correctly above them in the hierarchy, and want the people who are supposed to be below them in the hierarchy to submit to them.

1. Belief in the concept of an "alpha male" necessitates having a strongman leader.
2. Bootlickers need a boot to lick.

They like hierarchy because it means there are people below them in that hierarchy.

Ole Gavin McInnes takin a dildo up the ass to “own teh libs” sure shut me the fuck up.

Did you hear Trump's press conference yesterday? Dude was talking about how much he wanted to kiss this steel worker for like 2 minutes.

They are all closet homosexuals.

Because in reality they are betas, they call themselves alphas but they are easily manipulated and they are lap dogs of powerful people

Their personal status is held together by the status of these authority figures. If their authority isn't legitimate, then neither are they.

In short, they really want to be the girl but can't admit it. Some have been repressing it so long their brain is wired to short circuit thought in favor of angry stupid reactionary bullshit.

I have nothing but love and respect for the gay community, but in my opinion, I think it is because they are all secretly gay and are living out their dark secret, gay fantasies. Conservative yaoi is lame…

Because they're too intellectually challenged to think for themselves, so they need somebody to tell them what to believe

Closet homo conservatives are creeeeeepy fuuuucks.

They dream of hard peen.

Because they love freedom so much. Duh.

Not only authority figures, they like the big strong men of WWE and MMA.

I love how they are all "don't tread on me" on the bumper sticker, but in reality they are all "step on me harder daddy".

You're telling me it's all daddy issues?

Well now, I just finally figured out the link between a bunch of these assholes in a town and grinder going down.

Because they are weak pissants with no nation, creed, or honor simply following the authority who makes them feel good about themselves. It's kinda pathetic ain't it? This is why I force myself to be ambivalent to all authority who aren't part of my kin, kith, or clan by default since you can't manipulate me with funny feelings because I already didn't give a damn.

Or maybe I'm just from a culture that has been dealing with cultists for so long that some of us have built in anti-cult practices. Kinda a chicken and egg scenario.

There appears to be some subset of the human species that are natural slaves. They want to be serving some master. Perhaps it's even for their own good. I don't know if there is a random variation of this trait or if it's genetic. All I know is that MAGA are of this natural slave subset.
