There is no such thing as an "Alpha male", only men who are so insecure that need feel the need to "prove" that they can dominate everyone around them. That's pathetic. My husband is the kind of "Alpha male" men should want to emulated - self-confident enough to be vulnerable, strong enough to endure life's challenges, and open enough to show love toward other human beings.

MAGA has tried to rebrand alpha male by modeling name calling, fabrication, finger pointing, condensending, racism, sexism and greed at any cost. ( including taxpayers) so if anyone buys into the "rebranding " mindset the inner circle and close minions are all justified in the debacle that has unfolded since Trump eas voted back in. It is a pathetic ruse.

The idea of the “alpha male” comes from the animal kingdom… It has been incorrectly applied to human behavior. Better we get rid of this concept entirely. What you are seeing with maga is actually “toxic masculinity.”

Not just sucking up to and kissing the festering ass of a man who paints his face orange. That's pathetic enough. But the Orange Faced Arsehole is also the whiniest, whingingest, crybaby bitch who has ever soiled the White House by his very presence. He is also a convicted felon, serial bankrupt, scammer and a rapist. He also treasonously licks Putin's boots and tries to punish countries that have always been allies. How will his lackies and bootlickers explain their craven behaviour to their grandchildren? How will they explain it to the courts they will find themselves in when Trumps term is finally over?

I think the point I appreciate most is your invitation to dialog David, thanks so much~

it's something those wanna be alpha don't comprehend.

they want to lecture and postulate, not exchange and appreciate others views.

I watched a clip of Governor Newsom on Thanksgiving. He was at a shelter with his family, helping out. The big grin on his face, the slight swagger in his gait, the movements of his whole being said that he was serving at the finest restaurant. And then the huge hug from the old woman with the walker. Now, THAT was a man. Inviting, warm, happy, strong in spirit, and totally accepting of all.

I have seen a 💩 on legs from within ten minutes of it sliding and stinking its way down the escalator at TT in 2015 to announce its run for POTUS.

Nothing that 💩 can do or say will change my view.

It has needed flushing for many years. Just DO IT!
