‘We need to own up to the fact that we ceded that ground’

Newsom has admitted in the recent past, that his own son is a professed Charlie Kirk and Jordan Peterson fan. (And Joe Rogan et al.)

Democrats the party of men hating women, perverts, and
Fags. It is that simple.

The fact that he and Lil Andy went to extreme, fundamentally illegal lengths during the plandemic to enforce social media censorship against those very same young men, will be both their undoing in 2028. Those young men don't take kindly to governors who don't take kindly.

AOC has no similar exposure, and she has a dream line-up of Democrat primary states from go. Once she establishes a delegate lead before Super Tuesday, the money will shift to launder it through Gruesome's losing effort (Andy will drop out before his state even votes), and then even more Democrat money will be laundered through AOC's losing general election campaign. JDV is Trump's 3rd term barring a black swan event like Taiwan, and all that would do is keep Trump in office under martial law.

“Democrats the party of men hating women, perverts, and

And once the Democrats have full totalitarianism control, these will be the first ones shot.

The issue with social upheaval is that if people don’t go with you on transgender issues and other stuff, they return to “traditional” values.

The male loneliness epidemic... I would guess most young men want the American Dream... a career, home ownership, marriage, family.

Listening to the video (it’s kinda stupid chatter, and ultimately Newsome doesn’t have any solutions other than going on gaming platforms), Newsome uncorked this stereotype (probably focus group-tested) about young men being drawn to podcasters:

“Strong and wrong, weak and right.”

Ah ha…the problem is the kidz.

Excellent.

They are clueless.

This is a tangential observation, but I believe that the trend among many young men of sporting bushy beards is a response to the “chickification” going on in society.

It’s an in-your-face response to growing up in a culture that denigrates masculinity.

IMHO

Good observation.

Beards go through cycles. They were popular in the period after the Civil War.

If JD becomes President, he'll be the first President with a beard since Benjamin Harrison, over 130 years ago.
