Not one I agreed with, but that was a big component of his popularity because he was addressing young men.
This is you should be a provider.
All these calls to action to better yourself.
He was there to do it and no one else was.
But again, what you or a lot of people would see as an Achilles for him, weirdly, if you're among a group that has been told you're a piece of shit, or at least you perceive that you're being told you're toxic and a piece of shit, and you see a man who is actually toxic and a piece of shit win and dominate despite that and get rich and have his family and have all that,
Guess what?
That's pretty fucking appealing because you're being told you're a piece of shit.
Well, OK, this guy represents I could have a lot despite how you feel about me.
Of course, that's appealing.
Again, that's also framing it as it provokes an entitlement.
And I'm maybe arguing it's a salve.
It's like, I'm a toxic piece of shit.
No one wants me in this world.
Well, this guy's going, fuck you.
I don't give a shit if you think that way about me.
I'm still going to win.
It's like comforting.
It's not even necessarily that he induces some entitlement.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I'll do it.
