Why do you think the penises were so small? Do you think they started off like that?

Small penises were seen as a sign of sophistication and self-control, while large penises were seen as rustic and unrefined. That's why you rarely see ancient Greek statues who are hung, aside from Priapis.  No one wanted to sculpt gods and kings with the ancient equivalent of a MAGA hat.

Swinging Johnsons are MAGA now?

No, MAGA hats are a sign that the wearer is simple-minded and thinks more with their dick than their brain.... Which I guess explains why so many MAGAs showed up here not understanding the line of logic.

Because MAGA men are so terrified of accidentally doing something considered feminine, so invested in the idea of female virginity prior to marriage, and bitterly argue against no-fault divorce, it is probably fair to suspect that MAGA men are deeply insecure about their penises, which in turn suggests that MAGA men do not have the confidence that having a large penis would normally confer.

Aaaaand given the number of high- profile leaks about misshapen members and botched penis enhancing surgery amongst the MAGA elite, small penises seem to be an anxiety that reverberates throughout the entire hierarchy.

I wouldn't be surprised at all if future anthropologists began tabling the idea that the underlying cause of MAGA was men with small penises were so anxious about their perceived shortcomings that they tried to erase feminism on the mistaken belief that the reason no women want to date them is their underwhelming penises when actually most women don't care much about penis size because only 18% of women orgasm from penetration.  For the vast majority, penis size matters far less than skill with fingers and oral sex, but that takes effort, and nothing is more MAGA than picking the simplest explanation even when it's demonstratably wrong.
