Or is he trying (and apparently, failing miserably) to blend in so as to appear like it's really local suport and not an imported rent-a-mob? (And I use "mob" here very loosely, given the low turnout I expect.)
Or maybe deep down, Pitt really wants to be real man, and this is a chance to act out a fantasy, however briefly.
Or, most likely, Pitt's just trying to keep his a** from getting kicked by real men. Like this "disguise" is going to work...
And that is the point. These "gender confused" types are out there desparately trying to make themselves considered real men. Its the closest they'll ever get.
