The secret to saving Democrats $20 million: Stop trashing men
[NYPOST] Democrats
...every time you hear the phrase white people, white supremacy, white anything but paint, you're listening to a Democrat. Ask him/her/it to reimagine something for you; they do that a lot, though not well. They can hear a dog whistle a mile or two away. They invented the spoils system and Tammany Hall, and inspired the addition of the word (Thomas) Nasty to the English language. They want to stop continental drift and repeal the law of unintended side effects...
can't figure out why they're hemorrhaging young male voters — and party leaders are so baffled that they've thrown $20 million toward studying their predicament.

I'll give them the punchline for free: It's all the man-bashing.

Progressives waged war on toxic masculinity

...the liberal concept (the science is settled!) that men are knuckle dragging bastards who spend all their time watching football, drinking beer, burping, farting, and thumping their women. This doesn't apply if the men are girls transitioning to boys, or boys transitioning to girls, or either transitioning to sheep...
, insisting that we should ''believe all women'' and claiming that red meat is a right-wing thing. Is it any wonder men have said ''no thanks''?

Despite the obvious, the Democratic Party has reportedly poured eight figures into an effort dubbed SAM, short for ''Speaking with American Men: A Strategic Plan'' — probing men as though they are some alien species.

The report, according to the New York Times

...which still proudly claims Walter Duranty's Pulitzer prize...

, promises to ''study the syntax, language and content that gains attention and virality in [young male] spaces.'' Sounds like a lot of gobbledygook.

Dems like Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party, Governor Gavin Governor Hair Gel Newsom
...mayor of San Franciscoas it transformed itself into Poopville, currently governor of California as it transforms itself into Cinderland...
and Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear reportedly discussed how to reach the average American man at the Future Forward PAC conference held at— the Ritz-Carlton in Half Moon Bay, California.

What they could have done instead is listen to other people in their own party.

#1 That strategy is not going to sale well with their credentialed, wine box sipping, cat lady demographic that is their remaining core constituency, outside the usual grafters, thieves and pedophiles.

#3 Yeah, and stop nominating women just because they're women. And stop nominating pussies like Tim Walz for the woman's running mate. But that's likely too tall an order for today's Democrat Party.

#4 Re-release of Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade on Father's Day gives a huge insight into the realization by Hollywood that the kind of movie that men want requires them to reach back to the culture/attitudes considered normal in 1989-but that they get it is a good sign.

#5  ^ I hope they don't expect me to go to a theater to see Indiana Jones. He's on TV at least once a month.

#7 Re IJ revival... grrr...

'44, when the going got rough,
At the Odeon Kino, Lwow,
What was seen on the screen
But the films of Joe Green,
Though, alas, it would not be enough.
