Democrats have entirely lost the male vote, at least of the real men, in the last few years. Their push at blaming 'toxic masculinity' on virtually all of society's problems has created a world where Democrat men are not men and also created a sect of liberal females who are now inherently un-wifeable. Most men are not men anymore. Most cannot change their car oil, most cannot move boxes anymore. Some even have to call someone to help change a tire.
As a result of their attempted breakdown of men in the last two decades, the Democrats have lost the male vote almost entirely. That much was evident in the 2024 election, as males flocked to vote for President Trump, instead of Kamala Harris, who is the antithesis politically of what men want. Now, in efforts to try and win back that male vote, Democrats are trying to show off their 'manliness' in the most bizarre ways.
Former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg has grown a beard. Failed Vice Presidential candidate Tim Walz has tried saying he could 'beat up any Trump supporter' in a fight. That after Walz, the folksy Midwest football coach, once said when playing Madden with Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez that she 'runs a mean pick six.' If you are reading this and do not know sports, let's just say that term hits the ear wrong, and is a dead giveaway that he has no clue about sports.
All of this is in some desperate ploy to appear like a man, when everyone knows they are as masculine as a Barbie doll. Eddie Scarry of The Federalist says this just reeks of pandering.
"This is supposed to be their attempt at wooing or appealing to men, it comes off so fake and try hard...I do not think it is working," he says.
I mean really, is anyone supposed to buy the folksy football coach act from Tim Walz? After he proved in a video, he has no clue how to rack a shotgun? All while exhibiting the poorest gun safety standards you can imagine.
They can try to act cool by talking sports, or showing up to boxing matches, or wearing boots to events. But everyone sees through the charade. Not only that, they also see that it is a surface act, a facade that tries to overshadow the fact the party has no vision.
"You are looking at the messengers, seeing a 180 in the type of people Democrats have been...but they also continue to advocate and champion these unpopular policies that Democrats have," says Scarry.
Real men are not buying it, either. They can tell if you actually know sports, or if you act more on the feminine side. There are always tells for men. So, this charade of growing beards and trying to act like a real man is really just arrogance. They must think people are stupid.
You know who does not put on the act? Republicans. Ted Cruz is regularly at sporting events, even if it turns out he has been a curse at a few of them. See: Texas A&M games, and Houston sports Game 7's. President Trump also attends UFC regularly, and even owned a football team in the USFL in the 1980s.
So, this play up by Democrat men to appear masculine comes off as uncomfortable, mostly because they are not comfortable in their own skin.
"Donald Trump does those things because that is who he is...he can talk about sports at length...those are things he likes, and those are things he is comfortable with doing," Scarry says.
He adds no one is buying this game of 'dress up.'
So, keep running that 'mean pick six,' Democrats. It sure seems to be working well.
