very honestly coming around to the view that the paradigm of non-toxic, community-driven masculinity we need can be shorthanded by "dudes rock"
It's fun to slag on teenage boys but IMO they're not so much ideologically right-wing as they are desperate for the approval and mentorship of older dudes a lot of the time, and we are letting them down on that score (either by trying to indoctrinate them or not interacting with them at all).

Me, giving my son a friendly thumbs up while wiping my greasy hands off with a shop towel because I've been changing some spark plugs: "that's right"

but for real i feel in my bones that there's good room for normal and healthy masculinity in dem politics. Just normal guys being guys stuff. Drinking a beer with the boys after work and heading back home to Gladys, my wife of 17 years type stuff.

Part of my break with conservative politics was because my fishing/duck hunting buddy was a Democrat and we talked in the boat/duck blind.

Any dem candidate not making camo campaign merch is messing up. I’d wear a Biden 24 ball cap in MossyOak Bottomland everyday until November.
I guess white male spaces just tend to be supermajority conservative but it’s probably not great that to the extent politics gets discussed it’ll be something on the spectrum from property taxes to straight up the turner diaries
