With 10 days to go, and 25 million votes already castthe US election is too close to call. Gender, with a nearly 25-point difference between supporters of Donald Trump and Kamala Harris, is driving factor in this impasse. Trump’s large male base is as solid as ever. The Dems’ traditional male base, not so much. Harris still has educated LGBTQ men in stitches. But there was a meaning move on to Trump among young black men.

The desperation to claim them produces blunders, not objectives. One scolding lecture, former president Barack Obama effectively accused black men of misogyny, suggesting that some “bros” reveled in Trump’s knack for “putting women down.” Harris proposed a “Black Men’s Opportunity Agenda,” which would offer black small business owners $20,000 in forgivable business loans; was criticized as probably unconstitutional and soon went back. And a supportive dating game style ad managed to insult both black men and stereotypical women: the honest message conveyed was that the sex appeal of a black man depends on support for Harris.

Women who lack the financial or social support of male figures in their lives—disproportionately women of color—form a solid Democratic constituency, through 72-24 percent. Political scientist David Samuels he calls them “Brides of State (BOTS).” In contrast, married American women support Republicans by 50-45%. Samuels writes, “Without BOTS’ overwhelming support for Democrats, in other words, America would be a solidly Republican country where Trump would win a likely electoral landslide.”

So Harris could do with non-traditional support from the straight, white, working-class male voters Trump appeals to. But familiarity with men of low status – black or white – is not her forte. Her gender comfort zone is an environment populated by highly educated progressive men, including her husband, Doug Emhoff, and managing partner Tim Walz, who delight in showing exaggerated deference to Harris.

In a telling anecdote, Emhoff recounted Kamala’s displeasure following Biden’s abdication, when she couldn’t reach him (she was in a spin class in the gym, phone in the car). When told of her frustration, as he laughingly told a podcast host, “I just ran into the car and there was my phone, literally, like — you could feel the steam…” “I’m calling Kamala.. .and it was a… a minute or less conversation that started with “Where the hell have you been?”… And basically, “By the way.” And I did.”

Once posted on X, Emhoff’s revelation elicited a dismissive response (which perfectly captured my astonishment): “If I were a man, you couldn’t get away with this story.” One dissenter posted: “If it was a man you would love this story. Your misogyny shows.” She is wrong. The same words spoken by a man running for president to his wife, if made public, would put him on the blanket as a toxic neanderthal. But then no smart political wife would dream of sharing them, especially if the husband had a known history of anger issues at work, a albatross Harris can’t shake, but he’s never challenged to defend himself.

An illustration of Harris’s abysmal ignorance of ordinary men emerged from a ‘real men’ ad Harris endorsed this aimed at attracting undecided male voters. It featured six actors, because no real man would ever utter parodic nonsense like, “I’m a man. I am a man. I’m a man, man…”; “I’m man enough to pick up 500 and braid the crap out of my daughter’s hair”; “You think I’m afraid to rebuild a carburetor? I eat carbs for breakfast”; and of course, “A woman wants to be president? Well, I hope he has the courage to look me straight in the eye and accept my wholehearted support.”

This “creepiest ever” Spectacularly Unpersuasive Ads Rival Bud Lite’s Hilarious Off-Brand 2023 trans-centric ad for betraying the market. Like Nellie Bowles of The Free Press RECORDED from the first, “This is not an ad for anyone who has ever met a straight man, let alone interacted with one.”

For those who paid early attention to her as a future national leader, Harris’ disregard for the rights and concerns of ordinary men was on full display during Judge Kavanaugh’s confirmation hearings in 2018. I remember one particularly pivotal moment of her questioning . Given women’s unfettered abortion rights (when aren’t they ever?) and signaling a preemptive triumph on what she assumed was an irrefutable question, Harris asked Kavanaugh, “Can you think of any law that gives the government the power to make decisions about the male body?”

Harris was lucky. Kavanaugh was distraught and deleted the reply. If he had his wits about him, Kavanaugh’s response would have been, “Why yes, Senator Harris, I can. Every male American citizen over the age of 18 is required to register for the draft, whether or not he has ever considered military service and is subject to emergency call-up. No American woman has that obligation. Indeed, forced military service for men, with all its risks to life and limb, has been the norm throughout human history.”

Unfortunately, the beleaguered judge missed a golden opportunity to defeat Harris and expose her as what I call a “casual misandrist.” Harris doesn’t hate men of low status. As evidenced by her stupid ads and her question to Kavanaugh, she just doesn’t “see” them. And they know it.
