LANSING, Mich. (AP) — Michigan Democratic Gov. Gretchen Whitmer made a direct appeal to young men who shifted sharply to the right in the most recent election in a speech Wednesday in which she continued to call for each major party to work across the aisle.

Whitmer delivered her speech just days after sitting next to President Donald Trump at a White House dinner and reiterated her hope to find common ground with him. As a potential 2028 presidential candidate with a national profile built on advocating for women’s rights, Whitmer emphasized that her message was directed “to all young people, but especially to our young men.”

“The last thing any of us wants is a generation of young men falling behind their fathers and grandfathers,” Whitmer said.

Young men swung sharply for Trump in the November election. He gained a larger share of Black and Latino voters than he did in 2020, most notably among men under age 45, according to AP VoteCast, a nationwide survey of more than 120,000 voters. Many respondents cited Trump’s approach to the economy and job opportunity.

People haven’t forgotten her draconian rules and regulations during covid. And the way her and her husband avoided those rules themselves. ...I pray her time in political office will be as short lived as possible.

Whitmer never crossed any aisle, so what the hell is she talking about? Cross it because she is so ‘cool’?

“Work across the aisle”

Right. Many Jr. Democrats ( (RINOs) do exactly that as they’re the Democrat’s whores.

American voters need to understand that Democrats and RINOs are our enemies!

Democrats sure are predictable.

When a Democrat wins: Elections have consequences!
When a Republican wins: Let’s all work across the aisle.

Just what every young man wants in these times, a socialist, harpy Karen talking down to them. This deluded, preachy bitch is doing our work for us.

As the Covid / Fauci story unfolds under the auspices of HHS Secretary Kennedy, Gretchen’s Hitlarian lockdown mandates need to be brought to the forefront in the public square.

Exactly. The term means doing things the left way never the right. It’s a one way street.
