Based: Jillian Michaels, Fitness Guru Blasts California Libs as Insane

Jillian Michaels grew up in California. She is a married lesbian, mother of adopted children, half-Jewish and half-Arab, and considers herself liberal.

Since 2020, she has become based. She moved from California to Florida because the state she grew up in and loves has gone totally insane.

Watch this clip, and she sounds like me:

Michaels even used the term "demonic," and Steele used the word "evil" to describe the radical left turn on crime and gender issues in California. 

They also called out Scott Weiner--admittedly not by name--for his pedophilia-promoting law legalizing sex between minors and adults. 

Michaels and Steele pull no punches, hitting all the high notes, including crime, COVID insanity, transgender issues such as sports, locker rooms, and medical "transitioning." They blasted the Human Rights Campaign, Big Pharma, and the Mainstream Media. 

Not only did Michaels flee California, she fled to the Free State of Florida, which the alphabet crowd keeps telling us is filled with hateful anti-gay bigots who are hunting gays and transgender people. They even praised Elon Musk. 

Of course, my point is not that celebrities are finally seeing the light--after all, who cares what celebrities think just because they are celebrities? It's not like my beliefs are shaken when Taylor Swift comes out and disagrees with me, so why should I care if Jillian Michaels comes over to the other side?

Rather, what matters is that at least some lefties are becoming based, and it's not that they have changed so much as the left has changed. When Jillian Michaels feels comfortable saying aloud what people get ostracized for it both reflects a change in the culture and can influence it. 

I watched most of the podcast and what's striking to me as a man is how feminine the beginning of the show is--I don't mean that in a dismissive way, but rather that the approach is relational first and issues second. Men would dive right into the topics, exuding a very different vibe. Given that the apex influencers on the left are AWFLs I suspect that having a spokeswoman rather than a spokesman will have more influence on changing the culture. 

Michaels and Steele can go where men can't so easily, not because the female approach is irrational--their conversation becomes eminently rational--but because they establish empathy first. It really strikes me as a man.

If you want to explore what I mean watch the first segment of the podcast--I moved the time stamp to when Steele and Michaels begin discussing politics--at the 27-minute mark--because that is what interests me. The first segment, though, is all about establishing a relationship, which obviously doesn't interest me at all.

The point? Men and women are just different in how we talk and interact, and I suspect that is why women will ultimate change the culture on social issues for better or worse. I and other men can and do take the aggressive approach, making progress with men; women, though, will have to do the heavy lifting with other women. 

Men are from Mars and women from Venus. It was ever thus.
