MAGA sold us masculinity. So why are they scared of everyone?

Like any patriotic red-blooded American male, I spend a lot of time watching football. I will spend Saturdays overreacting to Ohio State losses or non-blowout wins and spend Sundays on the emotional roller coaster called the New York Giants. I also have NFL Sunday Ticket and all those streaming services so I can see plenty of other games as well. It means every two years, I get bombarded with political campaigns. Sometimes, I hit the mute button or flip to another game. And sometimes, I watch them and wonder the exact same thought every time.

Are MAGA men scared of everyone? And by everyone, I mean everyone who is even slightly different than they are. Let’s start with the two most obvious ones. Transgender Americans and Muslim Americans. Republicans are selling Americans that the cause of their problems isn’t the Iran war, tariffs or corporate greed. Nope, they have poured in over $180 million to warn you about transgender people trying to have a normal life in this country. 

I often wonder how MAGA men run into so many transgender people that they are scared to death of them. I am a California liberal who was born and raised in New Jersey and went to Harvard. I think I have met only three transgender people in my life. None of those people turned me into a transgender person. They just turned me into a friend.

The same hysteria has been leveled at Muslim-Americans. Vote Democrat and you will find yourself living under Sharia law. I mean, it didn’t happen when they said it would happen under........
