00:00:30.000After Donald Trump's stunning victory in the 2024 election, Democrats had to stop and ask
00:00:35.800what went wrong. One conclusion from the commentary class was that progressives had a serious man
00:00:41.940problem, and for once, they were right. Democrats had made contempt for men, especially young0.89
00:00:47.620white men, central to their message, and that came with a cost. Any white man who remained
00:00:52.640on the left had to accept that he was either uniquely guilty or expect to participate in
00:00:58.180his own dispossession. The party even launched a $20 million effort to discover why men had
00:01:03.800abandoned it, only to arrive at the familiar conclusion that, well, men are simply bad
00:01:08.780and they deserve whatever they got. This should have created a golden opportunity for the GOP
00:01:13.760to secure the loyalty of young men for a generation. Instead, conservatives are setting
00:01:18.680the opportunity on fire. The natural role of men in society is to protect, provide, and lead.
00:01:25.380Even when women earn good incomes, the data consistently shows that they still prefer men who are at least as successful as they are.0.85
00:01:33.320Women generally don't form families with men who can't find stable work, buy homes, or attain the status markers that signal competence and security.0.68
00:01:42.120A society that blocks young men from those roles is choosing dysfunction and decay.
00:01:47.220In a recent Fox News interview, the White House press secretary, Caroline Leavitt, blamed the rise of democratic socialism on Gen Z.
00:01:56.240She said that young people were raised with a silver spoon in their mouth, called them lazy, and suggested sending them to Cuba or Iran.
00:02:04.020Calling those remarks callous and tone-deaf would be generous.0.99
00:02:07.860Leavitt married a millionaire real estate developer more than 30 years her senior.
00:02:12.460it's unlikely that her silver spoon would be adjusted by deployment to a foreign combat zone.
00:02:19.040The entitlement only became more obvious when she defended the comments after deserved criticism.
00:02:24.700The message to young people was unmistakable.
00:02:27.100Your concerns are not legitimate, and we despise you for expecting us to fix anything.
00:02:32.480Of course, some young people are lazy and entitled.
00:02:57.980And this is the predictable result of decades of cultural indoctrination and civil rights enforcement that trained institutions to prefer women, immigrants, and minorities whenever possible.
