The bully epithet is thrown around with alarming frequency these days because there are few alive in America today who remember what real men are like. We are led in politics (and sadly in our churches) by men who have decided to adopt a feminine ethos as the core of their leadership style. Whether you like Trump or not he is a masculine, forceful man with a strong protective instinct. To keep this short, I assert that most of our WWII combat vets would, today, be prosecuted for war crimes - by “full throated conservative” Republican politicians.
Yes, the bully epitaph is thrown around a lot but what do you call a guy who nearly always calls someone he doesn’t agree with a name, manipulates people to his advantage, eschews the rule of law or at least tries to twist it, and seems to love to antagonize people?
True that!
