"If all those disaffected young men Republicans have been working so hard to appeal to are looking for a good model of masculinity — and just as important, the absolute worst model — they should pay close attention to what is going on in Minneapolis....

In the version of masculinity MAGA offers to men, one of the key elements is that you get to do what you want and nobody can stop you, especially women."

"Talk however you want, do whatever you want, grab women however you want. To paraphrase Trump on the 'Access Hollywood' tape, When you’re a man, they let you do it. You have no obligations to others; satisfying your own desires is what matters. ...

These guys are wimps."

"There they are in full battle rattle, camo and helmets and body armor and guns, covering their faces, cosplaying like they’re about to enter Fallujah circa 2004 when in fact they’re taking down some grandfather or smashing some mom’s car windows because she didn’t get out of their way fast enough.

They’re amped up on all the warrior talk, sucking in their guts as they point their guns at ordinary citizens. They have no emotional control."

"But there’s something else on display in Minneapolis, too. People are demonstrating real courage — and it isn’t the guys in Kevlar. Ordinary people are confronting the men with guns, standing up for their neighbors and their community and the things their country was supposed to represent. Those people are defending the vulnerable, putting themselves at risk, organizing and coordinating and acting together."
