Inspired by “These Are Trump’s X-Men | Dr. Jordan B. Peterson” on YouTube, Mac and Mike discuss the great people surrounding Donald Trump.
Jordan Peterson, known for his deep dives into cultural, psychological, and political issues, recently analyzed what he refers to as “Trump’s X-Men” in a video that has garnered significant attention. This exploration into Donald Trump’s coalition of supporters isn’t just about understanding the former president’s appeal but delves into the psychological profiles and societal roles of individuals like Elon Musk, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Tulsi Gabbard, Vivek Ramaswamy, and JD Vance. Peterson’s analysis frames these figures not just as political or business entities but as representatives of broader archetypal figures, each contributing to a narrative of resistance against what they perceive as the overreach of modern liberalism or progressive ideology.
Peterson’s discussion often revolves around the concept of individualism versus collectivism, where Trump and his “X-Men” are seen as champions of individual liberty, free speech, and traditional values in the face of an encroaching bureaucratic or ideological conformity. He posits that these individuals, much like the comic book mutants, are outliers or misunderstood heroes in their own right, fighting against societal norms that they believe suppress genuine human potential or traditional freedoms. This framing allows Peterson to explore how each member of Trump’s coalition embodies different aspects of this fight, whether through direct political engagement, cultural commentary, or business innovation.
