Just one short question

This is the shortest clip that asks the most compelling question. In fact, this is the most interesting question I have heard all summer.

To summarize, a Republican guy asks why all of the leading men in the Democratic party are so effeminate. He asks in essence, "Name one manly dude in the Democratic party right now. Just one."

While watching this clip, I came up with my own equally interesting question: Why are lefty ladies such mean hags?

The latest American Eagle commercial for their jeans provides a perfect example of how mean and bitter lefty ladies are. There is a host of unattractive lefty women calling Sydney Sweeney a racist, or something or other, for being hot in a commercial. (Very funny NSFW video essay here). I imagine most conservative women would look at the American Eagle commercial and go, "Wow. She's really pretty. I also like that the commercial isn't so artsy that it looks weird. It's nice that she can actually deliver humor in her lines."

Maybe there are some conservative ladies who think that the American Eagle commercial was a little crass, but I doubt that they were personally offended by it. There hasn't been one from what I've noticed.

As is my curse, I act as a digital Heimdall surveying all of YouTube from my computer throne.

My all-encompassing gaze compels me to observe that there is a pattern to lefty ladies; they are unhappy, they are usually not very well researched or very mildly researched, and they snap at men making reasonable points. There are different varieties of lefty ladies, of course. A few that come to mind are the younger shrieky blue-haired version, the older variety who looks like a librarian, hates kids and never dresses in anything feminine, and the crazy black-American female types. But lefty ladies have some similar psychological patterns. These are the kind of ladies who hate Sydney Sweeney for being born very pretty and selling jeans.

So what is going on here? Why are the leaders of the DNC so effeminate? Why are lefty ladies so unhappy, and so angry at Sydney Sweeney? I suggest that if we can figure out these questions, we can understand modern politics.

    Please, one question at a time!

    The male leaders of the DNC are effeminate because they are women (even with male genitalia).

    Because she's pretty, she's slim, and she radiates a sensuality that make real men want to be with her . . .

    The women are not.

    But the real answer is because the crazies have been driving real men out of the party for decades. Donald Trump? Former Democrat. He was very popular until he declared as a Republican. Joe Rogan? Where will the left find their Joe Rogan? His answer was, "You had me, but you drove me away." Many others are former Democrats. Bobby Kennedy? He probably still considers himself a Democrat. But it is not the party of his father and uncle.

    So, why is the male Democratic leadership so effeminate? Because they have chattered on about "toxic masculinity" until they drove all the real men out of their party. They are left with examples such as Senator Spartacus. All the theater kids grown up.

    The only manly dem I can think of is what’s-his-name, the senator from PA with the hoodie. (Who beat the republican, what’s-his-name (was s it Oz?), who was not exactly manly.

    (Sorry, the circuit in my brain for names is glitching. John, Paul, Ringo, and … oh, you know, the other one.)

    As to why leftie women are all like this, I am truly hoping this is not the case. I’m hoping that we have just mined the internet for extreme examples of craziness, and then everybody uses them as fodder to make content to talk about.

    Every one of the many references to this I have seen use the same (obviously mentally damaged) tic tok posters’ provocative nonsense. Is it reasonable to think that everybody on the left would have drawn these conclusions from those (wonderful and lovely) ads?

    God I hope not. These blue-haired nose-ringed scolds should really be embarrassed. What they reveal about themselves, and how their minds work, should make them want to keep this as far from public exposure as someone’s internet porn searches.
