New findings from the Democrats’ costly and widely panned Speaking with American Men (SAM) project found that many young men view the party as “weak” while seeing the Republicans as “strong,” Politico reported on Wednesday.
An initial round of research from SAM—first reported by Politico—showed that many young men think that “neither party has our back,” as one black man from Georgia said in a focus group. SAM is a new $20 million initiative aiming to study how Democrats can better connect with young male voters they lost in the 2024 election cycle, according to The New York Times.
Some participants said they viewed the Democratic Party as cautious, but viewed the GOP as more confident, Politico reported.
The research “reaffirms what young men already think, that Democrats don’t want to invest in you,” Ilyse Hogue, a co-founder of the Speaking with American Men project, told Politico. Hogue is a well-known left-wing feminist activist who served as president of NARAL Pro-Choice America for eight years.
Hogue also told Politico that many young male voters believe the Democratic Party does not “care” about them.
“Democrats are seen as weak, whereas Republicans are seen as strong,” Hogue told the outlet. “Young men also spoke of being invisible to the Democrat coalition, and so you’ve got this weak problem and then you’ve got this ‘I don’t think they care about me’ problem, and I think the combination is kind of a killer.”
One focus group participant described Democrats as embracing “the fluid masculinity of being, like, empathetic and sensitive,” while “Republicans are more like the traditional masculinity of a provider, strong, and the machismo type,” Politico reported. --->READ MORE HEREI’m an 18-Year-Old Man. Here’s Why Young Men Don’t Like Dems:
There’s something almost poetic about the Democratic Party’s desperation. Faced with a mass exodus of young men from their ranks, the Left’s solution isn’t to rethink their disastrous policies or the cultural rot they’ve championed. Nope, they’ve decided to shell out tens of millions of dollars to study us. Not talk to us. Not listen. Not ask honest questions. Just study us—like we’re alien creatures under a microscope.
That’s not strategy; it’s stupidity. And worse, it shows how wildly out of touch Democrats have become with reality, especially the reality young men live every day. You couldn’t make this up if you tried.
Let’s get one thing straight: No amount of polling, focus groups, or think-tank memos is going to win back the respect of my generation. Because Gen Z guys aren’t confused about why we’re walking away—we’re walking away because the modern Democratic Party has spent years demonizing us, mocking masculinity, and replacing real leadership with TikTok cringe and rainbow flag activism.
We’ve been told we’re toxic if we believe in traditional values. We’re called privileged if we work hard and succeed. We’re branded threats if we dare to question liberal narratives on gender, race, or the role of government. And now, when that propaganda isn’t working anymore, they’re throwing cash at consultants to figure out why. It’s laughable. And it’s offensive.
If Democrats truly wanted to connect with young men, they’d have to do something radical—something they’ve proven time and time again they’re unwilling to do: Tell the truth. The truth about crime. The truth about border security. The truth about the value of hard work, responsibility, and yes—masculinity. But they won’t. Because to embrace those values would be to admit their entire cultural agenda for the last decade has been a failure. --->READ MORE HEREFollow link below to a relevant story:
