"Drag queens make everything better. Drag queens are fun," Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel gushed. "A drag queen for every school! That is what would be fine for a kid."
"Drag storytellers, and the libraries and schools that support them, are advancing a love of diversity, personal expression, and literacy that is core to what our city embraces," New York City Mayor Eric Adams tweeted after a newspaper report that the city had spent over $200,000 on transgender strip shows and other drag acts in public venues, including schools and libraries.
At 53 and 61, Dana Nessel and Eric Adams have been touted as the future of the Democrats, but they're already deeply out of step with Democrats under 50.
Especially young male Democrats.
A new Southern Poverty Law Center survey reveals massive age and gender gaps that show that gender identity politics is alienating younger generations of Democrat men and women.
The survey found that 47% of Democrat men under 50 believe that "gender ideology has corrupted American culture" and only 41% disagree. That a majority of Democrat male Gen Xrs, millennials, and zoomers are out of step with the radical gender ideology that their party has embraced as its standard ought to be a warning for a party dominated by an aging leadership.
However only 20% of Democrat men over the age of 50 see gender ideology as a threat.
Kamala Harris, 57, recently announced that the White House would be launching a task force to stop "gendered disinformation" while falsely claiming that disagreeing with leftist radical gender ideology is a threat to "democracy". This latest effort to criminalize political dissent is dangerous and risks driving an even deeper wedge between Democrats and the future of their party.
While dissent on gender ideology is sharpest among young men, 37% of younger Democrat women also believe that "gender ideology has corrupted American culture" while 44% disagree. This is a surprisingly narrow gap especially when contrasted with the 26/60 and 20/69 agree/disagree splits among Democrat baby boomer women and men.
42% of Democrat younger men say that the transgender movement is a threat to children and 40% believe that it is actively "trying to indoctrinate children."
Even 34% of younger Democrat women agree that the indoctrination of children is happening.
Hidden within the larger Democrat poll numbers is a massive generational and gender split in the ‘Sex Wars’.
The gap between boomer liberal men and younger generations is starkest when it comes to feminism and gender roles.
While only 2% of boomer liberal men agreed that "feminism has done more harm than good", 46% of young male Democrats, a majority, believe that is the case. The change from a 4/94 to a 46/41 split is a massive generational shift on feminism by young Democrat men.
The split is much less pronounced among liberal women, but the number who believe that feminism has done more harm than good has still more than doubled from 10% to 23% or nearly a quarter of what is supposed to be the most liberal demographic of the Democrat party.
While the narrative has been that culturally each generation is becoming more liberal, and that is true on some issues, such as drugs and gay marriage, but the SPLC survey would indicate that younger people are actually becoming more conservative on gender politics.
The number of Democrat men who believe that males are undervalued in today's society has exploded from 28% among boomers to 60% among younger generations.
Strikingly, this is now an area where younger Democrat men are almost perfectly aligned 60/29 with both older Republican men 63/29 and younger Republican men 65/29. While the media often claims that Republicans are losing young people, the SPLC survey offers an example of where even young Democrat men now reflect the worldview of older Republican men.
Meanwhile at a 46/41 view of feminism as destructive, male Democrats under 50 are now more anti-feminist than Republican men over 50.
While an aging Democrat establishment has embraced radical gender ideology, drag shows for kids, transgender indoctrination in schools, and the #MeToo movement, their own younger male base is turning on it and even opposition among younger women is making massive inroads.
That’s why the Biden administration was flirting with using the National Guard to stop parents from protesting the sexualization of children at school board meetings, and is now rolling out yet another disinformation task force to criminalize and suppress opposition to its gender ideology.
The Left isn’t just losing the country, it’s starting to lose its own party.
Even as the Democrat establishment doubles down on gender identity culture wars, there are major gaps emerging between members of their own party who have skin in the game and those who don’t. The generational gap is between an older generation of Democrats who dominate the political establishment, but whose cohort is no longer grappling with the problems of parenthood, and the challenges of employment and education in the #MeToo era.
Polls that group together older and younger Democrats have covered up a generational fracture that is significant because of what it reveals about the party. Younger male and even female Democrats haven’t moved to the right on gender identity politics because of FOX News, Facebook, or the other “disinformation” threats that the Biden administration wants to fight.
If that were the case, it would affect older Democrats more than younger Democrats.
This is a life experience cultural shift. Parents are seeing gender identity politics in their children’s classrooms. Men are being sidelined educationally and professionally.
And it’s happening on a seismic enough scale that it’s showing up in national surveys.
Democrats made a hard bet on leftism because of generational and racial demographics, but the Latino swing rightward has interrupted that narrative, as have conservative trends among millennials. These latest numbers reveal mixed feelings among many younger Democrats about their party’s gender identity politics and show why parental rights politics aren’t going away.
The Democrats are losing generations of their own young men. And they don’t even know it.
If Trump gets elected I hope he posts the trans Admiral to the UAE. That should be a hoot! I cracked that the reason the Iranians are getting close to our ships is to get a glimpse of the tranny so they can take a photo. Most of those backward effers wouldn’t believe it unless they see it!
LOL, Obama’s pajama boy, LOL.
More than previous generations, young lib men today can see the opportunities denied them in favor of females in schools and the workplace. MGTOW seems more common with leftist men than conservatives; many won’t go beyond cohabitation with matching dogs - no kids. When you saw those dumpy purple-haired white women at the leftist demonstrations over the past couple of years, it is safe to assume NONE of them had children - and little prospect of bearing any unless they went slumming for a baby-daddy who would leave immediately.
Funny you would say that, my new boss (an “equality champion” among other things) is basically managing by bully-tactics.
Always trying to prove her capability to be strong and assertive.
(no one else cares)
Imma bout to walk away and retire rather than be bullied by my boss (again).
I suspect that many younger men are closer to the problem. Folks like myself don’t really have to deal with this nonsense. In fact, I suspect that many really don’t realize how messed up things really are.
Or accepting of homosexual behavior by heterosexual people under certain conditions, e.g. prisons, long ocean voyages, etc., but that's ONE big problem leftists/Democrats/wokies have: they push everything to its nemesis.
Also they can't be truthful; truth annihilates their beloved but phony and self-serving agenda.
Also they're morally and intellectually confused, shallow, corrupt, and dishonest. For example:
They confuse iconoclasm for innovation, probably intentionally.There are lots more.They love to pass laws to solve a problem and consider the problem solved whether or not the law works. Then they spend enormous amounts of time and energy trying to circumvent those laws.
They blame others for the crimes they themselves are committing.
“The Democrats are losing generations of their own young men”
The Democrats aren’t losing them until they actually stop voting Democrat. Right now those type of men still want socialism and their student loan debt wiped away, so they will still vote Democrat even if they disagree with them on these issues.
No, in the first question the demographic is “under 50” and in the second, it’s “over 50”, so apples and oranges.
” Most of those backward effers wouldn’t believe it unless they see it!”
Actually, Iranians see trannies all the time. The Iranian government pretty much forces homosexual men to “transition” with involuntary surgeries to become “women”. It’s very odd, but the Koran bans homosexuals, but not “transexuals”, since they didn’t exist at the time of Mohammed, so the Mullahs have mandated this solution.
Male democrats under 50 hang mostly with female democrats under 50 so it’s no surprise that they have come to loathe feminists.
You’re right; my bad.
We grew thru 117,000 subtle changes in the woman... The new gen is getting smacked in the face extreme, I’d go bonkers as well!!
That's probably the most shocking - to me - statistic in this essay. It is a reflection of the stubborn insistence on the part of liberals in general to consider the whole social continuum to be a zero-sum gain in which taking the "privileged" side down is more important than building the "oppressed" side up. This is worsened by the invalid Marxist notion that you can even split society up that way.
The number of Democrat men who believe that males are undervalued in today's society has exploded from 28% among boomers to 60% among younger generations.
That's nearly as shocking. One thing it shows is that the incessant propagandizing that was supposed to produce a permanent change in thought isn't permanent at all, and that control over the language doesn't really confer control over behavior. They were warned.
It's been long enough now to demonstrate to all but the most doctrinaire that not even the expropriation of social media can effect the desired social changes and that making a blemished society thoroughly sick isn't an improvement. They won't listen, leftists only close their ears and double down. The hope that the corrective won't be violent is rapidly fading.
When it comes to transexuals, even gays and lesbians want to get off the bus.
For some reason, lesbians don’t seem to be thrilled with a “woman” whips one out.
That’s news to me! I thought they killed them all (threw them off buildings or something)! Strange world!

I have a cousin who has one of those he/she’s for a neighbor. Nice area, homes built in the early 70’s.
The neighbor was 25 and in transition when it bought the house across the street. I’ve seen it in a social setting and it’s one of those “you have to check under the hood” to believe it types.
Anyway, this freak spent about a year and a half in the middle east, Dubai and Lebanon and came back with enough cash to pay off the mortgage, pay cash for a great new car, pay off all it’s student loans as well as all medical bills and still invested enough to make life very pleasant.
That didn’t include the jewelry and other gifts it received. It seems that naturally blonde, blue eyed, pale skinned tranny’s are in VERY high demand there. Enough gold and precious gems of very high quality to buy a principality somewhere.
If I hadn’t seen it for myself I wouldn’t have believed it.
