A long-winded way of anti-white male propaganda: "Trump supporters are insecure men."
I'd love to know who, by name, was responsible for trying to spin this nonsense.

Mother Jones article was written by Kevin Drum, WaPo article referenced was written by Eric Knowles and Sarah DiMuccio, with metadata proved by Google.
I think the simplest explanation is that republican voters care more about being masculine than democrat voters. Insecurity is universal in humans, it just manifests differently depending on one's values.

Thanks, I think.
The point I’m trying to make is that this is a smear piece using terminology of the right. “Men are confident and if you’re insecure, you’re not a man. So if you voted for Trump, then you’re not a man.”

In other words, this is a opinion piece (MJ), about a speculative article (WaPo), based on a biased sample (Google Trends), correlated with a another biased sample (Amazon’s Mechanical Turk platform).
Furthermore, geographic voter demographics have not changed significantly in decades. So if this is a valid trend, it actually suggests that these insecurities have rapidly developed in the last few years. I think that is a far more interesting trend to be explored.
Junk article, interesting study.
