“If Mr. Trump loses the election — and he is already arguing that the entire United States electoral system is ‘rigged’ against him — he may leave the political stage, but the questions his candidacy has raised will not. Not just Mr. Trump’s candidacy, but his entire guiding philosophy, has for decades been built on a toxic idea of masculinity.

After the election is over, men — liberal and conservative — might use this as an opportunity not just to pat themselves on the back for not being Mr. Trump, but to wonder when, at one time in their lives, they have played the role of Billy Bush.”
