Summary: After reading a lot of the material on this sub about holding frame, masculinity, and the state of western society; I am start to see how Donald Trump seems to present himself as a guy who knows how to hold frame and handle the tests from the media quite well. Despite the media, liberals, even most of his own party doing everything they can to push him out of the race, he easily shrugs off most of the criticism. Makes me feel somewhat embarrassed to admit this, but after taking the pill, I am starting to like Donald Trump and see myself voting for him.
Now lets talk about the Donald:
I am amazed, first of all as some on the pill might be familiar with, look at how he handled Megyn Kelly here. Then there was this hilarious exchange with Jeb Bush in the debates.
You see a guy in Trump who is not politically correct like a lot of the other politicians, holds beliefs that a lot of people see as controversial, voices his true opinions, and holds frame in the face of pressure. Based on what I have seen from Trump throughout the Republican primaries, he is an outspoken alpha male in a field where you have to carefully watch what you say as your opponent can easily manipulate it to fool the general public.
Now it comes down to what people want in a leader. On one hand you have politicians who are willing to be politically correct, not offend anyone, and obey law 38 (Think as you like, but behave like others). Then you have Trump who is courting attention at all costs (law 6) while at the same time breaking law 4 (always say less than necessary) by putting up statistics on Twitter and mocking a handicapped reporter.
I have never cared about the primaries of any party but Trump has me watching the Republican debates. As an American, I would love to live in a country where Donald Trump is the president. Not only do I think he can improve the nation, but just that look on the faces of the SJWs, feminists, and self-proclaimed "liberals" when he wins the presidency would be priceless.
The idea of a Trump presidency seems to center around one question relevant to this sub, can a man who follows a lot of the principles this sub has been preaching truly go as far to win presidency in today's social climate? SJWs, feminists, and the left wing run so much of media and institutions such as college campuses but at the same time, there are a lot of people who are fed up with them.
One vote I wonder about is the women vote. Most women typically vote Democrat but Trump seems to display the persona of a guy that women will claim they dislike in public yet secretly like in private. How will that impact voting if it comes down to Trump vs Hilary? Do women vote for Trump or do they automatically go for Hilary because she is just a woman like they are? What about women being naturally envious of other women?
While I love the idea of a Trump presidency, I am starting to think that it might be too good to be true. I am starting to doubt if Trump will even win the Republican primary but even if he does, I could see so many sensitive people voting against him in November of next year.
Either ways, I believe that Trump's presidential run is going to be test of red pill principles on a large scale.
Lessons learned:
Trump might embody a lot of red pill principles.
