Symbolism (Patreon)

Irrespective of whether Trump is genuine or not, there are vast swathes of the public who genuinely love him, and others who genuinely hate him. To many of those who hate him- mainly "progressive" types- Trump represents the archetypal alpha male; confident, bullish, forthright, and unapologetic. Their hatred of him -to some degree- speaks to their hatred of masculinity in general.

To defeat Trump, would, in their eyes, be a symbolic representation of the fall of masculinity. The destruction of the alpha male. It could also be construed as the destruction of exceptionalism. Because Trump (again, irrespective of whether he's genuine or not), projects an exceptional persona; a man who brashly presents himself as superior to his competitors.

As I've mentioned recently, this is something which lefty/progressive types are especially afraid of, hence their desire for a communist feminist technocracy. Communism seeks to suppress exceptional individuals. It caters to the envy, cowardice, and general insecurity of unexceptional people. 'The obedient always think of themselves as virtuous rather than cowardly' as per the meme I posted recently.
