The politicians are chasing the voters, and the voters have told them loud and clear that they want "winners" and "fighters," so that's what their pols do. "Winner-Worshipping" has a long history in this country. Trump is just the ultimate "winner" in the minds of these folks. Filthy rich. Wife decades younger than him. Bright white smile. Does whatever he wants and gets away with it. Put Clinton's political career in the ground. For certain types of men, who could be a bigger "winner" than Trump? Elon Musk gets the same worship for largely the same reasons. "Winning-worship." These idols only start losing their power with their worshippers once they start publicly losing. Sometimes, they can't even take it when their "winner" loses and they have to make up Cope Conspiracies about rigged elections to pamper their feelings.
Just replace “toxic masculinity” with “winner-worship” and apparently it becomes more palatable and understandable to those who act this way. I learned this just the other day.
The odd thing is: some of those "winner-worshippers" who tell us we shouldn't hold Trump to an established moral code also make a big deal about their "Christian faith" and their deep concern to protect "religious values" -- which they imagine Trump defends in his idiosyncratic way -- and then perhaps they give us another round of apologetics for Putin. It all gets very bizarre.

I honestly don't know anyone who worships Elon Musk.
Consider yourself lucky 😂
I think this is brilliant; I had never thought of "winner" in this way but it sounds accurate.
