The Evolving Face of Political Masculinity
This chapter explores the shifting dynamics of masculinity in American political discourse, contrasting traditional stoic ideals with the more dramatic personas of contemporary leaders like Donald Trump. It delves into how these changes impact voter sentiment, particularly among working-class white men, and the implications of emotional expression on political narratives. The conversation critiques the absurdities of modern rhetoric while reflecting on the cultural consequences of these evolving standards.
