The Zoom call, aimed at garnering support among a demographic that could define the 2024 race, showed America the true essence of the Kamala Harris presidential campaign. The event was a deeply weird feminist struggle session, disguised in trucker hats and plaid, with Hollywood actors and political operatives demanding that white men fall in line behind Harris because she&rsquo;s a woman and running for president.<\/p>\n<p>Some of the choice highlights are as absurd as you&rsquo;d expect.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;I&rsquo;m not sure if you guys can recall the feeling you had on the night of Tuesday, Nov. 8, 2016.

I&rsquo;m white, I&rsquo;m a dude, and I&rsquo;m for Harris. A woman president, man, how exciting!&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>This approach, one could argue, is just meat for the leftist male base; those who suffered through the star-studded lectures on whiteness and sexual politics reportedly shelled out <a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?sa=t&amp;source=web&amp;rct=j&amp;opi=89978449&amp;url=https:\/\/www.nationalreview.com\/news\/white-dudes-for-harris-fundraiser-raises-3-5-million-highlights-democratic-obsession-with-race-gender\/&amp;ved=2ahUKEwjd1vmOn8-HAxXu4MkDHTDQMQ8QFnoECCEQAQ&amp;usg=AOvVaw2jSd2aAa_ioBe5v6fvrV_n\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">over $3.5 million<\/a>.

Rocketto implied, <em>out loud<\/em>, that in any other context except one guided by Democrats, a gathering of white men could result in lynchings or cross burnings.<\/p>\n<p>White men, can you feel the love?&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Now, one might call this statement staggeringly arrogant or tone-deaf.

This was clearly demonstrated during the notorious &#8220;White Dudes for Kamala&#8221; event. The Zoom meeting, intended to rally support from a demographic that could influence the 2024 election, revealed the true nature of Kamala Harris&#8217;s presidential campaign. It resembled an awkward feminist session, masked by trucker hats and plaid attire, where Hollywood celebrities and political figures urged white men to support Harris simply because she is a woman running for president.<\/p>\n<p>Some of the highlights were as ridiculous as one might expect. Actor Josh Gad shared his emotional experience from November 8, 2016: \u201cI stood over my kid\u2019s bed, and I wept.\u201d Bradley Whitford remarked on the diversity of whiteness present at the event: \u201cIt\u2019s like a rainbow of beige.\u201d Jeff Bridges expressed his excitement about participating: \u201cI qualify, man! I\u2019m white, I\u2019m a dude, and I\u2019m for Harris. A woman president\u2014how exciting!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This strategy seems tailored to appeal to leftist male supporters; those who endured these celebrity-led discussions on race and gender politics reportedly contributed over $3.5 million. However, even when directly addressing white men in an attempt to win their votes, the Harris campaign shows blatant disdain towards them without making any real effort to adjust their smug brand of feminism.<\/p>\n<p>Democrat operative Ross Rocketto made it clear before the event that historically when white men organize it often leads to negative outcomes\u2014a statement he made intentionally suggesting that such gatherings could evoke violent imagery if not guided by Democrats.<\/p>\n<p>One might view this comment as shockingly arrogant or out of touch; however, similar sentiments have already been reflected in how America\u2019s left treats individuals like Nick Sandmann or Kyle Rittenhouse.<\/p>\n<p>The overall messaging from this campaign\u2014including forced humor about Kamala&#8217;s persona on social media\u2014targets a predominantly female audience engaged online rather than focusing on policy issues relevant across demographics. The intention appears deliberate: creating divisions based on gender rather than policies akin to what Democrats attempted in 2016.<\/p>\n<p>The male vote will be crucial again in determining success for either Trump or Harris; however significant shifts have occurred since Hillary Clinton&#8217;s defeat. For instance, research indicates that more men (57%) than women (45%) are interested in starting families as of February 2024 according to Pew Research Center data.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, nearly two-thirds of male Trump supporters believe society should prioritize marriage and family life compared with less than one-quarter among Democrat-supporting males\u2014and only 16% among Democrat-supporting females share this view.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s evident that today\u2019s Democratic Party does not cater much toward families or those looking to establish them anymore; thus they see little reason to appeal toward such groups given current voting trends favor unmarried women who overwhelmingly supported Democrats (68% vs 31%).<\/p>\n<p>Recent exit polls reveal married men (59% vs 39%), married women (56% vs 42%), along with unmarried men (52% vs 45%) leaned Republican indicating widening political divides based upon marital status which has only intensified since Biden won young males by a significant margin back in 2020 but saw it shrink dramatically before he exited his race recently.<\/p>\n<p>In conclusion\u2014white men alongside married families will struggle finding authentic representation within this party which has persistently disregarded their values while actively working against them over recent years\u2014the Harris campaign is acutely aware who its core base truly consists of despite superficial attempts at broader outreach through celebrity endorsements<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3346,"featured_media":2320354,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/VP-Kamala-Harris-Onstage.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[546],"tags":[35835,3685,37035,37407,37408],"class_list":["post-2320353","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-federalist","tag-campaign-strategy","tag-democrats","tag-gender-politics","tag-hating-men","tag-political-rhetoric"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/VP-Kamala-Harris-Onstage.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2320353","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3346"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2320353"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2320353\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2320354"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2320353"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2320353"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2320353"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
