Summary

Donald Trump’s re-election has been widely celebrated by “heterodox” influencers and male-dominated online figures, who had previously branded themselves as politically independent but now openly support Trump.

Joe Rogan endorsed Trump hours before the election, attributing his change of stance to Elon Musk’s influence.

Musk, who has become more openly right-wing, has also embraced Trump’s win, sharing celebratory posts.

Figures like Jordan Peterson, Sneako, and Dave Portnoy echoed support or voiced frustration with Democrats, aligning with Trump’s appeal to young male voters, especially those who endorse traditional masculinity and conservative values.

Damage? Or WORMS?!?!

You don't see the overlapping appeal? It's about authenticity - not policy. Bernie is as authentic as they come. If he's not running, the Libertarian party is a natural second choice - you have to be pretty sure of yourself to stand on a debate stage and argue for letting people die in the street. Trump had that same energy in this last campaign, so in hindsight I'm not surprised that he won over these people.

So, if I authentically offer to kick his nuts up into his stomach that'll be enough for him to him to like me? He has literally zero opinions on what actually might be a good or bad idea for the country, just so long as I say it with gusto?

I do get it, but I find it pretty outlandish. If he was born in Mad Max Fury Road, would he just be perfectly happy being one of those pole guys? They seem very authentic, look like they're having a blast too. "Witness me!"? When I see drug cartels and their quest for money and power, they seem very authentic about it. Very authentically killing everyone who crosses them.

Not gonna lie, that's a problematic value system.

edit: Should also make him damn leery of Trump, if he has any sort of real instincts about people. Rich assholes are not bottomless wells of authenticity.

If you promise to pat him on the back if he "takes it like a man?" Probably.
