The article discusses the troubling rise of toxic masculinity in American politics, particularly among Republicans, exemplified by figures like Trump and Nick Adams, who promote aggressive diplomacy. This shift reflects a larger societal trend where young men increasingly embrace dominant masculinity, illustrated by recent statistics revealing a resurgence in traditional gender roles among Republican men. In contrast, Democrats seem ineffective in addressing these cultural changes, suggesting they may be out of touch with contemporary issues, especially among younger voters who are captivated by the notion that aggression is synonymous with competence. This poses a challenge for Democratic strategies moving forward.
What we saw was a glimpse of robust masculine diplomacy on display before the world. For decades, our weak and feminized leaders have talked in robotic and bureaucratic tones.
Almost half of Republican men agreed that women should return to their traditional roles in society, up from 28 percent in 2022.
Democrats look completely lost by comparison, with a congressional rapid response team dominated by senior citizens.
Young men in particular are mainlining the false narrative that dominance equals competence, despite the fact that planesâpluralâare literally falling.
