These focus groups reveal accurate things about men they could have easily known long ago for less than $20 mil tossed at the former head of NARAL (read Richard Reeves’ “Of Boys and Men,” for instance). But even the ones who “get it” don’t get it. Rocketto’s right they can’t message their way out. But that’s bc the grievance men, especially young, have w the party is REAL, not created by Rs. It was created by—to codetalk, if I may— the ✨lived experiences✨ of young men with a party obsessed with safetyism, lectures, academia, dour you-can’t-say-that hall monitors, taking away their adolescent sports and milestones and making the path beyond that harder for them. A party interested in anything but them except when they were telling them they were toxic shitheads for not loving all of it. Meanwhile, the Rs under Trump became the party of rich rocketship guy, serving up a side of fries with a smile after surviving an assassination attempt, and doing the Trump dance with Jon “Bones” Jones after he knocked out Stipe. 🤷🏻♀️ That plus NOT calling men toxic shitheads for 15 years really did the trick.
