   Far too many voters think that because Trump is terrible for women, it means he's good for men.

   But Trump offers men *nothing*.

   He can tank the economy, dudes, but he can't make your wife come back.

     there is a problem here

     #MAGA #trump supporters are extremely insecure (not in economic terms, but personality). there is an odd phenomenon where self-destruction, with a caveat, is appealing to them. the caveat is: as long as others suffer more

     they don't want to better themselves

     they want nonwhite, nonmale, nonhetero nonchristians to suffer

     and they are happy to suffer as well for that

     they think they suffer less. that's a lie. but this is their "rationale"

     it's #sadism

     Why read past headlines (and share with men who need to get it):

     Trump's plan is to tank the economy. Elon Musk says that is the *goal*.

     Maybe they don't listen to women. But I quote multiple men, including Musk, who reveal the economic truth.
