“I felt like, being in conservative politics, there would be more, like, masculine men in the conservative movement,” Housley says, “and I find that a lot of them aren’t as masculine as I would have hoped.”

Any man who considers trump an alpha has no idea what an alpha male is.

Alpha is a made up term based on a retracted theory of wolf behavior.

Yeah, and it’s stupid and problematic. That being said, you know what the person you’re replying to was trying to say, right?

Alphas are so weak that they can easily be stopped by something as thin as a piece of paper. I'm a gamma, I only can be stopped by several inches of concrete or some lead.

The concept of dominance hierarchy is much more complex than its proponents realize.
The idea of a "The Winner Takes it All" type alpha male in any society is mostly junk.

reduced fitness due to the alpha position results in individuals maintaining high rank for shorter periods of time and having an overall reduced health and longevity from the physical strain and costs of the position.

The interpersonal complementarity hypothesis suggests that obedience and authority are reciprocal, complementary processes.

No, these people are sociopaths and we live in a system that rewards such behavior.
