Fox News Digital did something clever: It interviewed a psychotherapist about the predominance of older, educated white women at the recent No Kings protests. His answers made me laugh out loud, though there’s a very sad subtext to what he said, because the driving force behind these protesting women has negative ramifications for America as a whole.
We already know that the No Kings protesters who donned foolish costumes and waved mean-spirited signs and Mexican and Palestinian flags represented a narrow subset of Americans: Old, white, and female, especially female. Axios’s data analysis showed what the typical attendees looked like at the Washington D.C. protest: “86% of surveyed protesters in D.C. were white and 57% were women.” Additionally, “The median age of participants of Saturday's protest in D.C. was 44 years old.”
The question, then, is what drives these old, white, leftist women to take to the streets. And that’s where the psychotherapist comes in.
The mere fact that Jonathan Alpert, a New York-based psychotherapist, spoke with Fox News Digital is an indicator that this man leans conservative. He’s unlikely to recommend that your daughter cut off her breasts or that your son geld himself to be happier. This is a sensible man.
The interview starts with a wonderful quotation from Alpert: “What we’re seeing is a kind of group therapy playing out in the streets.” At that point, he explains that people generally crave connection and validation, and that these marches provide it.
I’ve transcribed here the part of the interview in which he explains all those old white women. What he said made me laugh, but it’s also a sad and disturbing commentary about the overall health of American society:
