Poor Little Rich Kid Syndrome: "As a posture, it’s also sort of shrewd. Trump Jr. can’t relate to the material conditions of most Americans’ lives, but he can relate to his followers’ frustration with feeling under-seen on the internet." theatlantic.com/technology/arc…
It seems clear from the fund raising grifts based on faux outrage that the right is doing OK rattling the tin cup, albeit striking fast. It just might be that the right is just not into Junior anymore. politico.com/news/2020/09/2…
You can be famous as an asshole and confuse visibility of your message with public approval of that message. You have to stick to the wrestler bad guy rules of fame. Always have a fake nasty public persona and and real private one that is nice. today.yougov.com/topics/politic…
Wrestlers used to agree who was the bad guy and how things would end up. Junior doesn't control his image very well and social media figures out how things end up. I can't think of a wrestler that stole from a kids cancer charity or kills zoo animals for fun and posts pics.
Tara McKelvey wanted us to believe that Jr was Trumpier than Daddy. That's a tough benchmark for anyone to reach. What if FailSon stopped defending Daddy, put on some grown up pants and went full villain? That would be epic. bbc.com/news/world-us-…
Jr has to be careful to not want Daddy's love. Kind of like Scott and Dr Evil. Imagine the epic battle if Jr called Daddy a Loser.
Maybe more Shakespearean, channeling Hamlet. A little Greek tragedy Cronus was replaced by Zeus. Oedipus lusted after his mother and killed his father. Elliott Cohen cast the ticks around Trump as a Shakespearean tragedy. Jr needs game if he is to survive. theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/…
