The tough guy image within the GOP

Not sure I am the only one that notices this. But does it seem there are quite a few people who vote Republican and yet do whatever they can to show the world that they are tough? They do this by trying to be as manly as possible. Own as many guns as possible, own giant big trucks, hate gays, women and so on. However, according to a friend of mine who's an avid Trump supporter; it makes me a "wimpy" man just because I support things like LGBT rights, women's rights, gun control and oh my I care about the environment.
Hell! If I had a dollar for every time I have been called a "cuck" or a "snowflake" on the internet I would be richer than Trump! LOL
Or another instance is my university at finals time has therapy dogs on campus. And many people's reaction is that we are snowflakes before this. Apparently some of these people never have taken a college final before. Therapy dogs are just awesome. Who doesn't love dogs?
By the way, I love guns!

Varying degrees of Steven Seagal Syndrome, I would guess.

Masculine virtue signalling. I find that it tapers off as the demographic gets older. Keep in mind, you're talking about early twenty somethings at a meat market whenever you talk about your college campus.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

I've never had difficulty finding 'tough guys' who either wanted to fuck me in the ass, or wanted me to fuck them in the ass . . .
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

Speaking as a non American. Trump does not look tough he looks like an old man trying to pretend he's tough.
Seek strength, not to be greater than my brother, but to fight my greatest enemy -- myself.

They're probably trying so hard to seem manly because deep down, they're insecure.
