Meet the 'Radical' Abortion Activist and 'Defund the Police' Advocate Behind the Democratic Party's $20 Million Campaign to 'Understand Men'
The Washington Free Beacon ^ | 4 Jun, 2025 | Andrew Stiles

Ilyse Hogue, former president of NARAL, has made a career of alienating male voters with woke nonsense. Now she's leading a campaign to win them back with 'super charged social listening.'

The Democratic Party's widely ridiculed campaign to spend $20 million on a "strategic plan" to "study young men" was spearheaded by the former president of a left-wing activist group that supported efforts to "defund the police," denounced the Supreme Court nomination of "frat boy" Brett Kavanaugh, and attacked "white women" for upholding "the patriarchy."

Politico reports that Ilyse Hogue, former president of NARAL Pro-Choice America (now known as Reproductive Freedom for All), cofounded the Speaking with American Men project, or SAM for short, along with MSNBC contributor John Della Volpe and former Democratic congressman Colin Allred. In an interview with the Virginia-based news blog, Hogue argued the widespread mockery of the group's efforts, which include "super charg[ing] social listening" and analyzing the "syntax, language and content that gains attention and virality" in male online communities, proved that they were on the right track.

"Democrats are seen as weak, whereas Republicans are seen as strong," Hogue said. "Young men also spoke of being invisible to the Democratic 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."

Hogue, a professional left-wing activist who worked at groups such as Media Matters, MoveOn.Org, and Greenpeace before joining NARAL in 2013, is perhaps uniquely ill-suited to the task of helping Democrats win back male voters. In July 2024, for example, when her activist husband helped organize the widely mocked "White Dudes for Harris" fundraiser, Hogue was initially skeptical, but eventually came to see it as "sexy." (It was not.)...SNIP

They could not even successfully associate “BRAT Summer” with the Democrat campaign of Kamala Harris. Here is a hint with a $20M discount....lose the “B”.

They think we're stupid rubes and can easily be manipulated.
That Trump won because he did it better this time. And that other time.
So they are stepping up their rube manipulation strategy.

Boob bait for the bubbas, for those of you with nostalgia for the Clinton years.

She’s like a frustrated glutton for punishment. No man wants to make love to her and no man cares enough to kick her in the ass.

This is hilarious! The first chink in the armor of their strategy begins with just a single question; what is a man? The party cannot even define a woman or man; how are they going to reach men?

Ilyse Hogue is such a disgusting excuse for a female.

I think we can thank Trump for attracting the male vote. Trump values the working class male vote. He thinks that they are good guys. The left has trashed males as rapists, dead beat dads or wife beaters since Obama. Good luck hiring a left lesbian lesbian to win them back.

She’s not bad looking. Too bad she’s so utterly ugly on the inside. My word to her is: ‘Hey,sweetie,convince me how important it is to have tampon machines in boys’ school bathrooms and I promise I’ll vote Rat”.

She's nothing but a money-grubbing opportunist looking for the next buck. A woman who obviously hates men is going to now "understand" men and win them back? What a joke. She personifies the Democrat idiocy that all they have to do is "perfect their message" to win.

'super charged social listening' -- in other words, she's lurking here on FR.

[Leftists today are firmly on the side of the Devil]

Good thing they weren't at a
Democrat Kamala Harris pro-Abortion Rally,
they would have been THROWN OUT!


God may not be a Republican
But Satan is certainly a Democrat.


DEMOCRAT Kamala Harris was
SELLING ABORTION FOR VOTES WHEN THIS HAPPENED:


Democrat Kamala Harris was willing to have a few million babies killed so that she could have POWER





Those two Christians did America a BIG FAVOR by revealing
that the spirit-of-antichrist is in Democrat Kamala Harris

Of course they were cursed, mocked and ejected but they'll be just fine.


DEMOCRAT Kamala Harris was SELLING ABORTION FOR VOTES WHEN THIS HAPPENED:

Democrat Kamala Harris gonna do her "Deny The Lord Jesus Tour" again?

Doublethink, of course.

Not being able to define is a loyalty test lie, not a lie to fool anyone.

I'm sure hoping that the Democratic Party uses more of this gay, I mean "guy"


DEMOCRAT Timmy Walz doing his gay strut

Democrat Timmy Walz is pro-gay, pro-"transgender", pro-abortion, pro-rioters, pro-destruction (along with his wifey) - wrong on EVERYTHING - and ... apparently ... also quite FABULOUS!!

She should consult with Tim Walz about how to “code talk” to White guys - apparently he is an expert and that was one of the reasons he was chosen as Harris’s VP.
