In a world where identity politics seem to overshadow common sense, it’s no surprise that a 20 million dollar study concluded with the less-than-revolutionary finding that young men are feeling confused, ashamed, and stressed about what it means to be a man in the coming years. And who could blame them? The Democrats, in their curious wisdom, decided that spending a king’s ransom to figure this out was a good idea, all while contributing significantly to the problem themselves. Someone should tell them they’re the ones perpetually playing the role of a needy ex, desperate for attention even after being shown the door.
The irony is almost palpable. The Democrats are scratching their heads, wondering why young men aren’t flocking to their events with open wallets and closed mouths. Perhaps they should consider that men have had enough of being vilified. It’s no secret that their policies have pushed the narrative that traditional masculinity is the root of all evil. No man wants to feel irrelevant or reduced to a caricature of toxic masculinity, especially when all he’s trying to do is navigate an increasingly complex world. It’s like being told to sit with legs tightly crossed—a practice no man finds comfortable, to say the least.
As the Democrats meander down the tangled path of identity politics, they seem baffled that their efforts have driven men away. Because, who wouldn’t want to stick around while being accused of, well, just existing? Men are seeking leaders who understand the value of hard work, family, and personal responsibility. The Republicans, with figures like Donald Trump and J.D. Vance, have made promises to bolster an economy that supports these men in feeding their families and maintaining a roof over their heads. It’s a call to return to basics—something the left seems to have lost in its quest to diversify until blue in the face.
Surprisingly, there’s more to life than ticking every possible box of identity. But it seems the Democrats are too busy policing language and enforcing baffling pronoun usage to notice that men have switched the channel. By alienating them, they’ve created a political environment that’s as cold as a liberal’s attempt at humor. The left is so focused on niche issues, they fail to see the broader picture: a society where men can embrace their masculinity and women their femininity, free of judgment.
Returning to foundational principles should be the mission, but it appears that’s a tall order for a party that’s been busy kicking logic to the curb. By discarding biology and basic truths, they’ve left themselves standing on shaky ground. And in this soap opera of progressivism gone awry, they’ve handed the script to the Republican party, who, with a smirk and nod, seem only too happy to oblige in returning the stage to reality. The moral of the story? Maybe focus more on the basics rather than inventing a world where science fiction could pass for everyday life.
