That might be true. But there's a real, more urgent need for other examples for all those boys, young men, and men who feel uncomfortable, under pressure, even harassed by this movement.
Trumps last term in office gave voice to all the worst elements in society, and they quickly figured out how maleable young males are to the poisonous rhetoric spouted by Trumps acolytes. They may have backed off slightly since then, but they'll be back with a vengeance, guaranteed.
Oh, I know it. My best friend lives in Ohio and watched her youngest radicalised with his mates at high school during Trump 1.0. At the same time her other son feels deeply uncomfortable with this, and he is grateful for other examples.
The indoctrination has worked here, too. One of my workmates, who's in his 20s is a Trump supporter. He's recently been to the US and brought a MAGA hat back for his 10 yo son. Worrying.
