It is useful to talk about they shouldn't be doing because it's what's driving so many people away from the party, particularly men. Trump gained in nearly every single demographic back in November and that may have very well killed democracy in this country. The only party that has any hope of saving it is the Democratic party.I do not believe that it is useful to talk about what someone shouldn't be doing, unless one has an alternative suggestion. As far as I know, the radical morons running the Democratic Party are not in fact opposed to heterosexuality in any way, so what is it you want them to do exactly?What they shouldn't be doing is driving away heterosexual young men, but they have been quite successful at doing it.The meaning of this post eludes me. Just what is it you think Democrats should be doing?Interesting article. I see the Democrats are determined to lose even more support from young men going forward. What are they shooting for the next election? 10%? Someone needs to take that shovel away...From Epstein’s Island to Musk’s Baby Farm — How the Right Redefined Masculinity as Control, by Thom Hartmann.
Underneath the memes, podcasts, and tradwife fantasies lies a dangerous agenda: train young men to reject equality, fear women’s power, and embrace authoritarianism disguised as masculinity . . .
Rape culture isn’t just at the top; it’s everywhere, especially in the digital spaces young men inhabit.
This isn’t just a parental issue, it’s a cultural emergency. This content is shaping how an entire generation understands sex, power, and consent.
And Trump’s “best friend” Epstein was an avatar of that twisted worldview.
. . .
White women are expected to go “back to the kitchen and bedroom,” producing more white babies in a panic about the “browning” of America.
This fixation on race and reproduction mirrors the same “Great Replacement Theory” rhetoric promoted on Fox “News” and other rightwing outlets that fed the Charlottesville rally and inspired mass murderers in Las Vegas, Buffalo, and El Paso.
From Trump saying, “If Hillary Clinton can’t satisfy her husband what makes her think she can satisfy America?” to telling Esquire Magazine that “arm candy” is essential for a successful businessman (“You know, it doesn’t really matter what [the media] write as long as you’ve got a young and beautiful piece of ass”) to sarcastically calling Kamala Harris “a beautiful woman,” our president has long made clear his thoughts on the role of women. . . .
And what's the status on the $20 million Democrats are spending to see what makes men tick? Have they come to any conclusions so far? Maybe they could hire Jane Goodall?
I'm gonna be 56 next months, so I can let all this bullshit hostility towards "heteronormative" males slide off my back. However, if I was a young man, I'd run from the Democrats and the radical morons running the party.
It's shallow to say, but one of the main things that caused me to reject the GOP altogether was the controversy over Bill getting a blowjob. I was around 23 or 24 at the time. If I were that same age and hearing liberals say the shit they say now, fuck them, I'd be right out.
I like to have sex with women. I really liked the variety and amount of women I slept with, and I have zero regrets; it was awesome. If someone doesn't like it, they can, well, blow me.
23 year old me would've been out campaigning for the GOP because they'd accept me.
However, what they should do is eschew the fringe elements who unfortunately seem to have the loudest voices. I often use the attacks on JK Rowling by the transactivist community as an example. She accidentally gave a like to something on Twitter and then withdrew it. She's been attacked as a fascist hate monger ever since. It's insane.
I hate that social media is so important, but it's not going to change, and what I referred to earlier regarding white male heterosexuals is coming from the left on social media, so the perception of not being wanted is an understandable one. One possible solution is that the Dems develop the courage to say they don't support those attacks rather than coddle the radicals.
Universities are another problem, but I have no solutions for that... maybe discrimination lawsuits, but that gets into some potentially ugly territory that I'm not comfortable with.
