Speaker 1 (00:00):
Okay, seven twenty two.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
Now, So Kamala and the Democrats are trying really really
hard to pull men into the party and to get
behind her campaign.
Speaker 1 (00:07):
But it is simply failing. Let's find out why. AUGUSTE.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
Mehra is a Dallas based teacher also a senior editor
for The Federalist, among other publications, wrote a great piece
on this August good morning.
Speaker 3 (00:18):
How are you, good morning? I'm doing well.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
Good, good to have you here. So they're trying, right,
they're trying. They did the white dudes for Harris. They
got Tim Walls, who's supposed to be some Midwestern Paul
Bunyan guy who didn't turn out to be.
Speaker 1 (00:31):
Anything like that.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
They got gun owners, I'll say, and we're you know,
we're with Kamala and she's a gun owner too.
Speaker 1 (00:37):
It's not landing at all. Tell us why?
Speaker 2 (00:41):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (00:42):
No, I mean so yeah, I wrote my article and
that was kind of where I start. It's just all
the attempts to attract men, and all of it's just
very obvious pandering. And so I think what you got
to kind of realize is that you know what's happened
to the Democratic Party, and that it's become feminine but
then you got to take one more step. It's like, well,
(01:02):
what kind of feminized you know, what kind of women?
And so I start looking at the kind of women
that form the coalition, the Democratic coalition, and you know,
are these women not attracting men? Because that's what men
are attracted to, to women, not only just in a
romantic sense, but just in a community sense as well.
And so you know, I write about how, you know,
(01:24):
the kind of values that the Democrats have, progressives in
general have adopted, have become very repellent for men, and
have you know, excluded men, so not necessarily hating men,
but not creating the space for men. They want men's votes,
but they don't want the men themselves.
Speaker 4 (01:41):
Isn't it part of it? Since you're involved in education,
A lot of it has to do with education and
the way that boys at young age in public schools
have been pushed to the sidelines. And then certainly all
the social media and the internet, and it's all girl power,
all the all the movies, the TV show those men
are made to look stupid. It just seems to me
(02:03):
that culture has turned on males, and certainly males with
hefty testosterone.
Speaker 3 (02:12):
No, that's exactly right. There's a lot of I mean,
I'm not even sure that you can call it influencing. It,
it's brainwashing. Social media is very popular, these kind of
scrolling apps that are very popular among girls, and they
look at each other, and so these values are just
being basically just poured into young minds and a lot
of you know, so women grow up to, yeah, I
(02:34):
want to be the girl boss. They want to compete
with men, and so you get kind of this very
progressive form of feminism that again it's not inviting, it's
not communal, it's very alienating, and so you just kind
of have a very prickly kind of culture among you know,
these progressive women that you know, again does not attract men. Again,
(02:56):
to me, it's like a difference between are we involving men?
Are we including men? You know, and they just want
to include men to get the votes, but they don't
want to involve men. They don't want the men to
actually you know, join in the work. They just want
their votes. It's very transactional. And so I think that's
kind of a deep thing that's you know, prominent among
progressives versus conservatives, where it's like, okay, we do want
(03:19):
a farm community. We want to conserve something. And that's why,
you know, it's hard to get the men on board,
because we know it's transactional. We know this is just pandering,
and we know that once the election's done, it's going
to go back to Okay, let the women do their
thing and the men just, you know, kind of go
flail and obscurity somewhere.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
You know, August, I want to play for you just
the first few seconds of a viral video put out
by the MAHA Alliance, which is Make America Healthy Again Alliance,
saying men are not misogynistic. If they don't want to
vote for Kamala, this.
Speaker 5 (03:50):
Is your Kamala Harris. Let's get one thing crystal clear.
The vast majority of American men have no issue with
the electing a female president. Our issue bye solely with.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
You, just because they don't like her.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
It has nothing to do with sexism or misogyny or
anything else. Men are absolutely fine with voting for a woman.
It has to be the right woman. That's the key here.
Isn't it a ghost?
Speaker 3 (04:16):
That's exactly right. And the example that I use in
history is the early Christian Church, which was again highly
feminized mostly women were becoming Christian at the beginning, and
it was up to them to bring men into the church.
And they did so by becoming attractive, by becoming inviting,
but becoming virtuous. So it wasn't just hey, you know,
(04:39):
we need your membership, we need your money. No. I
mean they would marry pagan men, they would evangelize them,
the kids would become Christian, and so you had a
very different kind of woman, a very different kind of
profile bringing in men versus you know, the pagan women
that were in a very misogynistic, sexist kind of world.
And I mean that's kind of the irony too. It's like,
(05:01):
you know, progressivism seems to lend itself more to sexism
and misogyny than like a conservative mindset. So no, I mean,
Kamala Harris is just a weak candidate. And I mean
just the feminist values too are just insufficient and again
are not involving men. Again, it's just trying to include
them and get their vote.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
That's exactly what it's all about.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
Gust Mera is a senior contributor at The Federalist in
a Dallas area teacher. A great piece that he wrote
about the real reason men aren't into Democrats. Thanks for
sharing it with us a ghost. We appreciate it.
Speaker 3 (05:32):
Yeah, thanks for having me
