A lot of youngish people have been dealing with despair -- partially because of what they went through during the pandemic, but also the economy, and the dating scene. The American Dream feels very distant to a lot of young people. If Trump can reach these people (men and women) and help them get a decent chance at the traditional life, then Trump can lock in an entire generation as Republicans.

I see this as an opportunity no one has had since the Kennedy assassination. That event was a shock to the system, but followed by the Civil Rights Act and the (misguided) belief that the Great Society would build a better world. A huge chunk of the Baby Boomers decided at that time that they were Democrats for life. 60 years later, Trump can seize a similar moment.

the manosphere, the kind of secret that young men tend to hide on their laptops or at the bottom of a sock drawer

Cmon now. We all know what’s hidden there and it’s not some video gaming blog.

This week, the manosphere, the kind of secret that young men tend to hide on their laptops or at the bottom of a sock drawer,

I don't normally go in for MSM, woke interpretations of social phenomena, but this is true

America's society is so castrated, propagandized and feminized, and we have destroyed the idea of men leading traditional families, that young men retreat from society. Part of this is forming feral groups on-line.

I read some of the article, then only bits of the rest.

My thoughts are:

1. The word “manosphere” tells us more about whoever made it up than it does about anything else.

2. This article is pointless.

There is so much distrust of the msm - for good reason - people are turning away from it (thankfully).

Trump was right to connect with pod casters to reach young people - I know podcasts, You Tube and the video game world are all the rage among the young in our family.

Kamala Harris showed what she really is by refusing to go on Joe Rogan’s show - demanding that HE come to her and that SHE set the terms of the hour-long interview - while Trump sat and talked to Rogan for three hours. This was an outright rejection of Rogan’s massive audience and I believe really hurt her campaign.

Going forward, I suspect this - connecting via pod casters, You Tube and video gaming will be a key tactic of candidates going forward - at least those who wish to get elected.

My favorite post about Barron someone posted a couple of weeks ago on FR:

https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-bloggers/4273475/posts?page=7#7

I watched some podcast that had a five 30 to 40 year old guys on it. Maybe a sports show? I don’t know. Anyway - they had dinner with Barron and a friend of his at the Trump Home in NYC.

They all said how likeable Barron is. A GREAT conversationalist, funny, etc. They said it was weird because here is this 18 year old but he was the one leading most of the conversation with these older guys.

“Hey dad - can you turn the music down!?”

The guys looked over and President Trump is in another room with the remote control for the house speaker system as he was listening to the music.

Running through them all is a certain unreformed notion of “Bro-dom.” with which Joshua Chaffin has no familiarity. None whatsoever. It requires much more "T" than soyboy Chaffin can muster.

Boys and young men have been battered and demonized by society. Many have been raised by single moms and taught by largely female teachers. They have been targeted by gay predators. Books and movies are focused on feelings as opposed to actions. For better or worse, the Manosprere is where they can hang out.

Barron may be the best of the Trump brood.

Ivanka is nothing more than a mannequin.

Don Jr. appears to be a bit of a playboy.

Eric is a serious guy who married well.

Tiffany follows after her mother not her father.

Barron may have the best of his mother and his father.

Melania may be quiet but never underestimate Eastern European smarts.

Great job, Barron! And kudos to Trump for his willingness to listen to a young man’s suggestions.

Trump is like "Irish Spring"....

"Manly, yes!"

"But I like it, too!"
