Reality check?

[Chap]

I see a lot of posts by AtlanticMike in a number of threads containing the terms "Real Man' and 'Real American'.

So far as I can see, the adjective 'real' in phrases like 'real X' as used in such posts means no more than 'an X that AtlanticMike approves of'. In that case, why not simply say that? As it is, the perfectly useful word 'real' is being wasted by being used as the rhetorical equivalent of a chest wig.

Can anyone see any more in it than that?

My post contains my best try at interpreting those expressions: "So far as I can see, the adjective 'real' in phrases like 'real X' as used in such posts means no more than 'an X that AtlanticMike approves of'." That seems to me to be a pointless misuse of the important word 'real'.

Some right-wing nonsense. Like when they describe their wine as grapey.
