Glenn Jacobs is a name that sounds like a small-town Southern mayor with libertarian tendencies. Jacobs spent the last three decades playing Kane, a character who was obsessed with fire and spoke in monosyllabic phrases, but he spent most notable years in the industry playing a character who wore a mask and only spoke in monosyllabic phrases. One of the brothers who is also the mayor of that city joined combat battalions to push back the Russians. Tennessee has The Wrestler Formerly known as Kane rooting for the Russians to give the left an exhibition in how the right will stomp out the weak-ass libs. Jacobs followed in the footsteps of Jesse Ventura when he entered the political ring. He has been the mayor of a county with a population of 500,000 people. As most of the sane Western democratic world has rallied around Ukraine, Jacobs had a different, more disturbing tone to offer, and it sums up the current state of American politics.
Instead of calling for peace, Jacobs wants Ukraine to be stomped out so he can affirm his authoritarian views. I was under the impression that conservatives wanted to be defenders of democracy by embracing the Second Amendment, and that Red Dawn was their template.
When was the Left surprised by Putin's aggression? Democrats warned the world that the previous president was too obsequious to Putin. One question is whether repeated head trauma has impaired Jacobs' cognitive ability. Adam Page replied to Jacobs with links for humanitarian aid as well as a video entitled "10 Ruthless Shots Kane Took to the Chair." Page might be onto something.
The world powers have been knocked to the canvas by weaker armies because of Jacobs and likeminded politicians' toxic overconfidence. Vietnam and Afghanistan might make right war theories.
You should laugh at Jacobs at your peril. Right-wing media has poisoned the minds of its audience by rooting on the Russians. Jacobs probably spent the last 20 years consuming all the right-wing talking points, and that's why he used his tweet to give an insight into the thought process of the modern Republican. Two professors published a book on the subject of strongmen in 2009, and the Republican base has admired strongmen for decades. They discovered that a large portion of the American electorate had authoritarian views. The GOP would gain enough power to make themselves heard.
Since 2020, Republicans have been trying the same propaganda Russians used to paint themselves as liberators of Ukraine, to embrace their "might" over elections. In their minds, they have the most guns, the most muscle, and the libs are a bunch of woke eggheads who will retreat to safe spaces when they attempt another takeover. He gave away the game. Kane was a big wrestler who was undeterred by smaller opponents. He might have been telling us something for a long time.
