toxic masculinity: not just for men!

This Washington Post article about MAGA people trying and failing to date in Washington is...really something

www.removepaywall.com/search?url=h...

When Morgan Housley, 29, moved to Washington for her job in April, she had some non-negotiables for the conservative man she was looking to date: He had to “love the Lord,” genuinely enjoy going to church, and be able to “provide and protect, emotionally, physically, spiritually, all of those things.” A fit, athletic man she could go on runs with.
So far, Mr. Right has not materialized.
Instead, many of the single MAGA men she’s seen are …
“Not fit, workaholics and not taking finding a wife seriously,” Housley says.
If she had it her way, she would be married and expecting her first kid. She says a lot of her colleagues at the American Principles Project, a conservative advocacy group whose website says “in order to save America — we have to save the family,” are settling down and having children. But it’s rough out there. When we reached Housley by phone, and she told a co-worker that she was discussing dating in D.C., a voice at the other end of the line could be heard saying, “Oh nooooo!” So, that’s where we are.
“I felt like, being in conservative politics, there would be more, like, masculine men in the conservative movement,” Housley says, “and I find that a lot of them aren’t as masculine as I would have hoped.”

No idea.

It's certainly telling that a country in the midst of a supposed "birth rate crisis" can't be bothered to tell us whether or not we get to feed our kids

Longtime Trump supporter: “I think deep down he wants to help the country with things like food insecurity.”

(Trump enacted the largest cuts to SNAP in history a few months ago)

Now says she regrets voting for Trump and wishes a Democrat were president to “protect benefits [Trump] wants to cut.”

Hannah's mom, Betty, a 63-year-old recent retiree who is a caretaker for her daughter and a longtime Trump supporter, said she is losing confidence in the president she once supported amid the shutdown fight.
"I think deep down he wants to help the country with things like food insecurity," she said. "But now he is busy out of the country and demolishing the White House. I know that is being paid for with private funds, but those could be used to help people."
"It all seems very selfish," she added.
Betty Szretter said she now regrets voting for Trump in 2024 and would prefer a Democrat in the White House to "protect benefits he [Trump] wants to cut."
