Catching a Liberal White Lady tweeting in 2020 that she took a day off to fully absorb a v. important book about reparations, and making her admit under oath she probably didn't read it after all is an all-timer of Liberal White Lady moments.

A stat that stuck with me this election cycle from an AEI study on politics and sexuality (cited in a NYT piece, I’ll link both): Self-perception of masculinity is a partisan dividing line for men in a way self-IDed femininity is not for women. 54% of R men view themselves as “very masculine” compared to 33% of Ds. Do you know what two other groups self-ID as “very masculine” at the same rate? Latino men (52%) and black men (55%). I would bet a Latino prison guard sees himself as “very masculine.” Play a word association game with any left-leaning person. What word do they most associate with “masculinity?” Toxic. We all hear this frequently. It’s not a secret, and though toxic people and traits are a real thing, the left often leaves no room for the idea of good men who are also masculine. It’s exclusively “GIRL POWER” and “men, you’ve had your turn, quit manspreading” while they’re over here facing very problems, more despair deaths and suicide and less educational attainment than women. It makes plenty of sense to me a Latino prison guard would look at the modern Democratic Party and conclude he’s not welcome and instead take a chance on the Party of Dana White and Joe Rogan. Not *because* he’s toxic— you’ll lose this voter forever if you assume this migration proves his worthlessness— but because he thinks *they* don’t see him as toxic.
