Just finishing Josie’s book, I think what she says about trump first getting into wrestling as a fan who clearly thought it was all real pretty much sums it up.
Interesting to get the UFC part of this, and the fan demographic part - would never guessed ufc skews younger, wrestling seems so teenage boy to me.
I'm announcing this formally on Friday, but Josie's book is going to be our read for next month's book club! I'm excited to talk to her about all of this.
Yes to all you wrote. Plus, I think the fitness mindset encourages you to be so self-centered that makes you more susceptible to manipulation. I was shocked when a high school friend (living outside the US) casually dropped her admiration for Jordan Peterson. I assumed that she absorbed that info from her gym & running buddies. Also, another friend who runs a Brazilian jiujitsu studio started posting about aliens on FB!?! And of course they (a non-white person) think Trump is so funny. Ugh.
