HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Fifteen years ago, I became friends with a bunch of “dudebro” types through a coworker, and they shared with me some glaringly offensive comedy they found on the internet. While thinking about it recently, it dawned on me that these sports-loving, women-objectifying, offensive, comedy-loving dudebros were hardcore progressives at that time. Today, 25-year-olds who would fit that cultural mold would be unquestionably MAGA. There is no space in the progressive movement for men like that, and progressives and Democrats have paid a political price for it.
In this episode of “Here’s A Wild Though,” I explain how we got there and how it may not be fixable without some uncomfortable shifts in progressive ideals.
