Why MAGA supporters call Trump “Daddy” and what it reveals

MAGA won’t stop calling Donald Trump “Daddy.” Beyond the weird sexual undertones and the poor callback to the popular song by Usher, the nickname taps into a fascist fantasy. Trump is “Daddy” because he unleashes ICE and the National Guard on immigrants and the unhoused. Alternatively, Melania plays “Mommy” with her submissive, loyal behavior and tries to reassure everyone that Daddy has a heart beneath the cruelty. Even if she plays the role badly, it’s enough to launder violence through blunt gender stereotypes. Journalist and author Lux Alptraum adds commentary about this strange, sexist dynamic. Her book, "Faking It," is available now. Subscribe here on YouTube for more Standing Room Only, airing weekly Thursdays at 5 PM ET on YouTube. 🥳 Standing Room Only started as a newsletter.
