The Real Reason Men Just Aren’t Into Democrats

So what’s the hold up? Is there something wrong with the messaging?

Most conservative critics would say that yes, there is something very wrong with the messaging. It’s empty, obnoxious, and absolutely cringe-inducing. Like everything else the left does, it’s based on the idea that simply boosting media representation and repeating a few public affirmations for a certain demographic will win a group’s support. Just like seeing a woman swing a lightsaber and kick butt will supposedly win over female audiences, seeing famous men praising Kamala Harris on TV will supposedly win over male voters. It turns out that neither is true.

Of course, rather than learn from this criticism, many of the left already have an explanation for why men are not voting for Harris: sexism and racism. As Barack ObamaHillary Clinton, and a host of other leftist voices have declared, American men are too misogynistic and bigoted to vote for a woman of color. In their view, Donald Trump’s dark magic (or “bro whispering”) has turned the great majority of American men into nasty incels who hate women and vote Republican. They are beyond hope and need to be replaced.

The messaging is not just bad, but it demonstrates a complete ignorance of normal masculinity. They are pitching a message at male voters that is only informed by radical-Left views of men rather than the reality of American male culture. The disconnect is so bad as to recall Steve Buscemi's hilarious 21 Jump Street send-up.
