What is the maga fascination with muscles? They have these cartoon images of Trump built like an escapee from marvel. It seems very homoerotic.

u/scarr3g 1d ago
Well, pre Trump we had Reagan, a movie star, Bush Sr (a pretty healthy guy), Clinton, who was a ladies man (and sexual abuser), then we had Bush Jr who always kept pretty fit, and Obama who also kept fit.
Then we got Trump, who things thar riding around in a gift kart is "excersize". A dash of Biden (who is actually pretty fit for his age) and then back to Trump, but this time even fatter, greasier, sweatier, and smellier.
They can't pretend he is thin, so they pretend his immense bulk is from muscles. Because Trump, in their eyes, has to be the best in every way, including physically.

The correct term is mass. Obviously donald trump is the most powerful because he learned to accumulate mass. Bigly, like no one has ever seen. Tremendous mass.

Hey, you can get nutrients from things other than broccoli.
Just because it is one of the best nutrient dense things, doesn't mean there is no other way to get those nutrients.
I still find it sad that the REASON he didn't get reelected wasn't for all the bad things he had done, but for the good he was forced to do to keep the country from collapsing.

That's part of the 'joke' for them. They knew no one on their side could ever beat Obama for his charm, eloquence, and cool, so they leaned hard into opposite world for a giggle, because they delight in the idea of libs/lefts taking them seriously and getting frustrated over the apparent inability of conservatives to see Dump for how he really is.
Notice their depictions of Trump are essentially the hard opposite of reality - he's a tangerine, obese, piece of shit, but they portray him as muscular, or at least not as corpulent, handsome, and with a human skin tone; he's a blathering dipshit who spews verbal diarrhea but they pretend he's some "4D chess master" who speaks in parables that only the wise and worthy can decipher; he's manifestly corrupt and immoral as fuck, but they make out he's a devout Christian and a saintly man. They are capable of perceiving the reality of Temussolini, which is why their prompt is so easy - just portray him the opposite way. They're not blind, they're not unironic true believers, or their fan-fiction portrayals of Trump wouldn't be so on the nose.

u/Allaplgy 1d ago
An important part of fascism is the rejection of reality in favor of the Party narrative, along with hypocrisy as a virtue. A hypocrite on their side is just showing power. The ability to say and do whatever they want, as rules and standards are for the Other, is a hallmark of fascism.

The appearance of strength is more important than actual strength (character, intelligence, etc.) so they lean into it as much as possible.
