It’s well documented now that the Democrats lost a lot of young men in the 2024 election, largely because of the party’s enthusiastic participation in their disempowerment, from the Obama administration’s Title IX witch hunts to DEI to Me Too. Gavin Newsom’s wife is continuing this legacy, performing the same moralistic nagging that drove them toward MAGA. Rather than identify the root causes of young men’s estrangement from society, Jennifer Newsom is doubling down on the idea that men must be reformed. She represents everything wrong with the Democrats’ outreach to young men.
