The Return of the Democratic Manly Man
The Atlantic ^ | July 14, 2026 | Russell Berman

Posted on 07/14/2026 8:40:27 AM PDT by MinorityRepublican

Brian Poindexter had just finished wolfing down a Reuben sandwich in a deli outside Cleveland when he delivered a message that, coming from a Democratic House candidate in the year 2026, sounded almost provocative. “There’s nothing wrong with being masculine,” Poindexter told me. It’s okay, he said, to be “a manly man.”

Poindexter’s own manliness credentials are fully in order. The 46-year-old started working in a machine shop as a teenager and spent years hauling furniture across the country before finding stability as a union ironworker.

He drives a Ram Big Horn pickup truck and built, with his buddy turned campaign manager, a shed in his backyard.

Democrats have learned that they need to become gifted liars as championed by bill clinton again. they can’t just show who they are.

Democrat pull in ‘men’ who believe in the sexual mutilation of children and who force unwanted sex on women? That’s ‘manly’?

The truth is democrats want young men for an illusion - to remain powerless but to KEEP THEM - the old boomers IN POWER... ‘Here’s a job with great perks that pays well and all you have to ‘do’ is follow the party line.” Yeah, like real men would go for that crap.

Take that up with 35 years or so of leftist Democrat propaganda in the schools and such. They are queering little boys in libraries and kindergarten.

Good Luck, Mac
