Democrats aren’t exactly rife with masculinity, and that’s no surprise, seeing as how the Democrat Party and its corporate media cohorts have done their level best to demonize masculinity as “toxic” for the past 20 or so years. This has resulted in all sorts of problems, chief among them is failing to have a good deal of people who can connect to men and depriving the party of a massive voting bloc, and it’s a voting bloc that historically influences their wives to vote as they do.
But it would appear that Democrats haven’t learned their lesson at all, as even CNN’s Dana Bash has noted that the DNC has wheeled out people such as Kamala Harris’s VP pick, Tim Walz, and Harris’s husband, Doug Emhoff, who don’t appeal to masculine men.
Watching Bash, it seemed that the moment she began speaking about it, she wished she hadn’t, as she began choosing her words very carefully so she didn’t alienate masculine men away from the Democrats by making it sound like the DNC wasn’t for them.
I transcribed what she said below and edited out all the “ums” and pauses as Bash clawed for dear life at her own point.
“They are doing so in trying to put forward male figures — Tim Walz being one of them, Doug Emhoff last night, who can speak to men out there who might not be the sort of testosterone-laden… ya know, gun-toting kind of guy who wants to listen to Hulk Hogan, and the kind of players that came out of the RNC,” said Bash.
Bash attempted to course correct here by making it seem like masculinity is embracing a woman president.
“In addition, understand that it’s okay in 2024 to be a man comfortable in his own skin who supports a woman,” Bash added. “And that’s something they’re really trying to work on with male voters beyond the base.”

Bash is actually discussing an issue that has many a Democrat strategist ripping out their hair, including James Carville, who would rip out his hair if he had any. Men, especially young men, are moving away from the Democrat Party and embracing conservatism at a very accelerated rate, and while they may be scratching their heads as to why, it’s easy to see for anyone remotely paying attention.

As I discussed before, the villainization of men and masculinity is costing Democrats dearly, including with Gen Z.
CNN celebrated a lack of masculinity at the DNC, but the truth is that it’s tripping up Democrats so badly as men (especially young men) walk away. They have no one to blame but themselves for villainizing men and masculinity at every turn. pic.twitter.com/ix0jqnDoRh

If the Democrats were smart, they’d stop villainizing men for just being men and making it seem like their very essence is problematic and awful. However, they won’t. A huge chunk of their foundation is built on “feminism,” which doesn’t exactly show itself to be a fan of women either. As such, men will continue to walk away from the Democrat Party, leaving behind these feminized men whom no one seems to like, frankly.
So Bash isn’t wrong. The DNC is definitely speaking to these men who have rejected their own masculinity, but that’s not exactly convincing anyone to side with the Democrats.
