It wasn’t that long ago that guys like John Wayne were held up in the US as a shining example of manliness: Strong, capable, doing what’s morally right, and not being “bothered by little things.”
Nowadays the political right is falling all over itself to sell this notion that pettiness is akin to manliness; the more bothered you are, the bigger a man it makes you.
It’s hard to think of a better poster-(man)child for this ideological shift than this little snowflake.
EDIT: Bummed, but not entirely surprised, to find out John Wayne was a racist. I guess my point still stands, as it was more the characters he played than the man himself that people admired.

As per the usual, the call is coming from inside the (white) house.
