Donald Trump was booed by fans at the 2025 U.S. Open Sunday in New York. ABC aired the crowd reaction after the USTA requested media partners censor 'disruptions.'
Yet basically all dictators have been harsh on even the lightest of protests, since if you allow it, the protests will grow until you can’t deal with it.
Public protests like these are highly useful to fight against Mr. Trump.
I don’t think the ‘weird’ thing was really about masculinity. Conservatives value conformity, which is why they mock expressiveness like dyed hair; they think they are the default, and so being called weird and the insult sticking because they are fucking weird really hits them where it hurts
Nobody seemed interested in hitting reactionaries in the money. Biden kept dumping cash into the pockets of Musk, Thiel, Zuck, Bezos, and Pichai. Neither do Hochul or Newsom. Dems have the power to hit fascism where it hurts, but they’re too terrified of losing access to the Infinite Tech Sector Money Machine.
Imagine if you’re the dictator of the wealthiest and most powerful nation in human history.
A few boos from folks in the cheap seats seems like a small price to pay when you can feast on the townsfolk every night with abandon.

Just look how effective calling them weird was.
Oh yeah, keep attacking their masculinity, that is one of their biggest weakpoints.

Conservatives mock dyed hair??
Ronald Reagan has entered the chat…
They mock expressively colorfully dyed hair; blue, green, etc.
Again, look at Reagan.
He was older than Trump is now, and no one questioned his hair.
Where it hurts is the money.

what does weird have to do with masculinity?
You may be assuming some executive function (delayed gratification) that is missing from the observed behaviour.
