Ep. 1847 - This Political Ad Is Going Viral. Is It The Worst Ad Ever Made?

Ever hit a wall in the middle of the day and a third coffee just doesn't do it anymore? Here's what's actually happening. Coffee only briefly blocks adenosine, the chemical that tires you out. When it stops working, your system is flooded and you crash. Modafinil is a prescription treatment that works in a completely different way. Modafinil works by stimulating multiple receptors in the brain associated with wakefulness, including dopamine, serotonin, norepinephrine, histamine, glutamate, and orexin.

What you're about to see is one of the most cowardly and self-defeating political ads ever produced in modern American history. But just over a month ago until the midterms, in a year that's been dominated by completely legitimate concerns about the cost of living and the difficulty of finding stable, long-term employment that can support a family and a mortgage, the Republican governor of Arkansas, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, has just made the baffling decision to demonize the most loyal supporters of her party, namely white men. Now, I call this decision baffling, and it is, but that doesn't mean that it's unexpected or surprising. I mean, this is the Republican Party, after all. They might be useless and unreliable most of the time, but at least you can always count on them to be openly contemptuous of their own voting base. So you can rely on them for that, at least. According to Republicans in Arkansas, contrary to what you're seeing every day with your own eyes, the truth is that lazy white men are the real problem. Yes, it's white men. White men are the ones dragging us down. They are the cinder block chained to our ankle, pulling us as a nation into the icy depths. They're defrauding the government. They're ripping off the Treasury. They're unwilling to work or improve their own lives or contribute to society. So forget everything you've seen or think you've seen about Somali daycares and EBT scams and home health care shams and welfare fraud. You know, all that rampant. You know, all that pervasive corruption that's overwhelmingly committed by non-whites, many of them not even Americans. Well, in the eyes of the Republican Party establishment, you should focus your disdain instead on an imaginary epidemic of 20-something white male welfare queens. Watch. Yeah. Oh, you want some of this? Take that. Come on. Meet Brad. Brad has turned relaxing into a full-time profession. But you, you actually work hard. You pay taxes to cover welfare for guys like Brad who just choose not to work. That's why I launched a welfare-to-work requirement. Almost there. Now, more Arkansans are working than ever before. Even Brad. Well, of course, you know, at first glance, it's surprising to see a white male depicted in an advertisement at all. I mean, that's a rare sight these days. As we know, I was watching football on Sunday, and I don't think I saw a single commercial with a white male unless he was depicted as part of a biracial couple or like a multiracial friend group. Aside from that, you know, you only see white males in commercials if they're portraying, of course, the burglars in a home security ad or, you know, maybe the greedy credit card company executives in an ad for a different credit card company that doesn't have greedy executives, of course. That's the conversation. That's the kind of brilliantly subtle messaging we've come to expect from our nation's illustrious marketing departments. And it's also apparently exactly what we can expect from the Republican Party, which rose to power in the last election by campaigning, quite explicitly, against DEI and against anti-white discrimination in general, even if usually they won't call it that. Now they're trying to convince us that the prototypical welfare parasite is a 23-year-old white guy named Brad. Which is exactly. Something like producing a PSA calling attention to plummeting math scores featuring a procrastinating, incompetent East Asian math student named, like, Zhang Chen or something. You know, exactly the sort of person that immediately springs to mind when we think of people who aren't good at math. Now the truth, of course, is that white males are among the least likely to be on any kind of welfare at all. And young white males like Brad are virtually non-existent on the welfare rolls. You know, we'll dig into the numbers. We'll dig into the numbers more in a minute because this is actually a much more revealing moment in American politics and culture than it may at first appear. There's a reason why when Republican politicians and consultants get together in a room to come up with an ad for their new welfare policy, which, by the way, is a good policy. We'll talk more about that in a moment. They make the deliberate decision to represent welfare leeches with a stereotypical lazy white male caricature. I mean, there's a reason they specifically chose not to use a more statistically accurate caricature. You know, if you think the conservative critics of this ad are overreacting, well, then just imagine how basically everyone would have responded if they had used the exact same approach, but with a different race. Now, somebody on X called Dr. Clown PhD, who may or may not be a legitimate medical doctor, I don't know, posted an AI mock-up with the races swapped out. So this is basically the exact same ad. But with the stereotype this time being of a Black guy, here it is. Oh, hell no. That's a hole. Throw the flag, man. Meet Deshaun. Deshaun has turned relaxing into a full-time profession. You pay taxes to cover welfare for guys like Deshaun who just choose not to work. Now more Arkinsons are working than ever. Ever before. Even Deshaun. Now, that, of course, is AI slop. I object to it on the grounds that it is AI slop, on those grounds at least. It's also not really representative of the statistically standard welfare moocher who is more likely to be a Black single mom with multiple children. You know, the people attaching themselves to the welfare system like Barnacle. On the hull of a ship and staying on the dole for their entire lives and costing the taxpayers untold billions of dollars every single year are generally not young male gamers of any race. But the point still stands. You know, that AI slop video is a lowbrow, insulting, crass, Black male caricature. And the whole point is that you would never see that or anything like it, AI or otherwise. From anywhere. Any politician on the left or right. And if you ever did, it would be widely condemned as racist. Nobody would pretend they don't see the problem with it, that they don't understand what the ad is doing or why. You know, and when people objected to that ad, if it ever did exist, which it never would, you know, you're not going to get people saying, what, I don't, oh, you're upset about that? I have no idea why. That wouldn't happen. You know, because this kind of demonization. Only ever goes one way. Only ever targets one group. White males have been degraded, demeaned, and systematically disadvantaged by every institution in the country explicitly so, openly so, for decades. That's a fact. You know, that's not just like a sob story. That's actually just a fact. It's true. Some of us are tired of it. And we expect our elected representatives to push back against it. Or at the very least, if they don't have the gumption to push back against it, at least don't participate in it. Now, not every conservative feels this way. As the ad, you know, provoked a loud and justified backlash from many on the right, there were others who were quick to rush to its defense. For example, Joel Berry, who used to write for the Babylon Bee, posted this, quote, There's a strategic reason behind using a white guy in this ad. It's designed to keep the conversation on the merits of the policy instead of making it a racial issue. That would have worked great 10 years ago. But now we have a growing contingent of whites who are just as cripplingly insecure. And neurotic about race as a BIPOC SJW. Now, I don't know why Joel is pretending he doesn't understand the point. But I do know that he is pretending. He's smart enough to know that there is a rather significant difference between the white people criticizing this ad and the, quote, BIPOC SJWs. The difference is that the latter group complains about systemic and institutional bigotry against their favored Democrats. Demographic groups accept that the systemic and institutional bigotry is not real. On the other hand, the growing contingent of whites, as Joel calls them, complaining about systemic and institutional bigotry against white males. You know, in that case, the systemic and institutional bigotry is real. So we're complaining about a thing that is real. It's actually happening. As opposed to complaining about a thing that is not real and not happening. Joel, do you understand the distinction between complaining about a thing that isn't happening? and complaining about a thing that is happening? Do you see why there's no logical or moral equivalence between those two? I think you do see it. I think you're pretending that you don't see it. In fact, I know you see it because you admit it in the first sentence. You say, again, there's a strategic reason behind using a white guy in this ad. Hmm. Hmm. Why would that be the case, Joel? Why would political consultants assume that the only way to avoid a racial controversy is to portray the oafish, dishonest, useless parasite as a white male? Why is it? Is it because white males are the only group that can be portrayed that way in our society? Is it because that is the unspoken and sometimes actually spoken, in this case by you, rule that every major institution in the country has followed for decades? Yes, you're right. And that's the point. Some of us are not okay with white males being the default punching bags. We're not okay with a situation where we say, okay, well, we need a group to be the punching bag here. Uh, let's just use white male. Obviously it's going to be white males. We need a bad guy. Got to be a white male. Like, yes, I agree that that is, that is the strategy. That is what they're doing. Our point is that that is bad. Okay. That's not, we shouldn't accept that. Okay. We're critiquing that. And if that makes us cripplingly insecure, then, then so be it. But I'd say, you know, someone appears to be emotionally crippled in this conversation. Um, and it's not us. No, the, the, the, any white male on the other hand, who's willing to just sort of lie down and take it. Um, I I'd say they're, they're maybe the, uh, the crippled one, even the insecure one. Now, meanwhile, in the face of this backlash, instead of firing her communications team and admitting the ad was a terrible idea, Sarah Huckabee Sanders proceeded to make the situation infinitely worse. She didn't simply double down. Uh, she took a cue from the Joel Berry camp and pretended that she didn't understand what everybody was upset about. Here's what she wrote. Quote, some critics online don't like my welfare work requirement ad. Next thing you know, they'll say I should have used cookies instead of cheese balls. If you're able-bodied, you should not collect welfare simply because you choose not to work period. Again, these critics online are conservatives who are simply tired of seeing even our own side demonize young white men. Okay. Your team governor made an obviously intentional decision to not depict a more statistically representative welfare leech, which as you know, would be a black single mom. Can you explain why? You made that decision. Don't pretend it wasn't a decision. It might fool Joel Berry. It's not going to fool the rest of us. Don't pretend that it wasn't a deliberate decision where you've got consultants and marketing people. You're sitting around in it, trying to decide who is going to be the villain in this ad. Don't pretend it wasn't deliberately decided. Oh yeah, well, that's got to be a white, but there's no way we're putting a black guy in that position. You're insulting our intelligence. Can you explain why there's no way in hell, no way in a million years, you would ever produce that kind of ad with any other group as the villain? Can you tell us why? If you don't want to explain it because it's precisely the answer we already know, then again, at least don't insult our intelligence by pretending you don't understand the point we're making. Now, you certainly know that we aren't upset about work periods. We're not upset about the fact that we're not going to support work requirements for welfare. I mean, Republican voters support work requirements generally, where people have to demonstrate that they're trying to find a job before they get benefits. Really, many of us want to go much further than that. Speaking for myself, at least, I don't know what the numbers are with Republicans generally. Speaking for myself, I'd like to eliminate food stamps entirely. I'm more anti-welfare leeches than you are, Governor, a lot more. I'd say get rid of the whole thing. The SNAP program has no reason to exist. It's the single easiest welfare program to develop. It's the And it's built on a faulty premise, which is that millions of Americans need free food or else they'll starve. That's just not true. It's a fantasy. It's not true. Nobody in America is at a risk of starvation. We're all going to die. We're at risk of many different kinds of physical calamities, but starvation is not going to be the thing that takes any of us out. Americans are, by orders of magnitude, pun intended, more likely to die from eating too much than too little. As the Wall Street Journal reported this year, quote, America doesn't have a hunger problem. About three quarters of adult food stamp beneficiaries are overweight or obese. Only 3% are underweight. More Americans of all income levels die from illnesses caused by overindulgence than by hunger. Yes, three quarters of adult food stamp recipients are overweight or obese. This is a program that costs around $100 billion. per year, and 75% of the recipients, by definition, do not need food assistance. If anything, they need the opposite. I mean, you can make a much more compelling case for distributing taxpayer-funded Ozempic than for food stamps. Not that I'd be in favor of that, but the point still stands. And if anyone does need help accessing food, they have about 10 other welfare programs that they can draw money from, not to mention private charities and soup kitchens and food pantries and so on and so on. And that's why if you spend five minutes on TikTok, you'll find that food stamp recipients are generally obese and highly entitled. They're also bragging about making plates and selling them on the street using their food stamp money. Watch. I'm going to tell y'all straight up like this. I just got that text that the link is definitely cut the f*** off for November. Y'all better stay the f*** out of my way in these stores. I'm walking out with cards and I'm not paying for s***. Um, Tromba, if you won't, um, motherf***er, start looting. Oh, it's gonna happen. Before my kids go broke in this f***ing white jock, I'm gonna be stealing like it ain't no tomorrow. I am going to go in that store, get everything I get regularly. I'm going to bag my s*** up, swipe my link card, as soon as that b***h say ain't no pendant balance on there, I'm going to walk the f*** out. I'm going to try the strawberry kiwi. Yeah. Come on now. Watch me. I don't know nobody selling me five hours a week, bro. I'm telling you, I'll put that work in, bro. It really be a crack. Told you. Told you. Now I show you. That's the kind of fraud that would be worth depicting in a political ad. It would actually resonate with voters because it's really happening, and it's costing us tens of billions of dollars every single year. So what are the actual numbers? Well, you know, there are many different figures floating around on social media about how different groups collect welfare at different rates. We're not going to take their word for it, but unfortunately, calculating the exact number of people on welfare is complicated, and the government makes it difficult to do so. And, you know, that may be partly intentional. After all, if America's welfare. If our programs are really distributing wealth from people of one color to people of another, then, you know, they wouldn't really want us to know that. But another reason is that welfare is a patchwork of dozens of different programs, some administered by the federal government and some by the state. Some, like what Huckabee is talking about in her ad, are federal programs administered by the state. So to keep things neat, we'll focus on one of the biggest programs, SNAP, which provides food assistance, as we know, to low-income people. Now, this report on the SNAP program. The SNAP program is the most recent government statistic published last month by the Department of Agriculture. On page 75, it breaks down SNAP recipients by race and demographics. And according to the data, about 40.1 million Americans are on SNAP, which is a ridiculously high number already. We're supposed to believe that 40 million Americans. 40 million Americans would not be able to eat without taxpayer assistance. That's what we're supposed to believe. That's just under 20%. 12% of the population. About one in eight people. One in eight people are not capable of feeding themselves in a first-world civilized country, is what we're supposed to believe. Now, according to the official government data, 35% of SNAP recipients are white, despite them being almost 60% of the population. So that is wildly disproportionate in the sense that non-Hispanic whites. Black Americans are using welfare much less often than the other groups. Black Americans make up roughly 25% of SNAP recipients, despite being 14% of the population. Again, wildly disproportionate in the opposite direction. Wildly overrepresented on the welfare rolls. Hispanics are 16% of SNAP recipients and are 20% of the population. So if you're going to pick any group that represents kind of the standard welfare recipient or represents. You know, a group that is the most likely to be on welfare, whites are the last group you should pick of the three. major American racial categories. Women are also 55% of the SNAP recipients, despite being 50.5% of the population. So if you're going to pick a typical welfare recipient, it'd be a woman, not a man. In fact, based on these numbers, non-Hispanic white men aged 18 to 35 are among the least likely to be on welfare at all at around 5% of total recipients. And I suspect that even that might be a massive overcount, but it's a vanishingly small group. So to recap, the Sarah Huckabee Sanders team is going out of its way to demonize one of the few demographics in the country who are actually net contributors to the U.S. economy. And that may not have been the conscious motive. They might not have sat in a room and said, let's figure out a way to demonize white men, although maybe they did. The conscious motive was more likely to simply avoid offending women. Racial minorities, in particular, black women. And that's exactly what makes the decision so ludicrous. Okay, this is a demographic. When they're trying to decide, well, who would we rather risk offending? Which racial group? And they always decide, oh, well, you know, white men. Again, that's the Joel Berry approach. That's unjustifiable morally, also politically, strategically, it makes no sense. In particular, black women are a demographic that overwhelmingly votes Democrat in every single election. I mean, overwhelmingly. Something like 92% of black women supported Kamala Harris. 95% went for Joe Biden. 94% went for Hillary in 2016. 96% went for Obama. You can't find a single election where black women supported Republicans to any significant degree, nevermind a majority. That's never happened, never will. You can't find a single election where black women supported Republicans to any significant degree. You can't find an election where black women supported Republicans to any significant degree. What's interesting here is that Sarah Huckabee Sanders Far from the only Republican who's pushing the message that white people are lazy degenerates. She's far from the only one to do that. This is a common message from Republicans. Here's the Speaker of the House, along with his deputy, Steve Scalise. These are clips from 2025, for example. Watch. You don't want able-bodied workers on a program that is intended, for example, for single mothers with two small children who's just trying to make it. That's what Medicaid is for. Not for 29-year-old males sitting on their couches playing video games. We're going to find those guys and we're going to send them back to work. That's what everybody supports. That's what the Republicans are for. And by the way, we find dignity in our work. That's going to be good for everybody. We're actually cutting spending in this bill, getting rid of a lot of waste, fraud, and abuse. Putting work requirements, for example, in a program like Medicaid so that the truly disabled and needy will be able to get better access to Medicaid. Because those able-bodied adults who are turning down work, the 35-year-old who's sitting at his mom's basement playing video games, is going to have to go get a job again. Those are going to be good things for the economy, but it's also something that helps reduce waste, fraud, and abuse and saves hundreds of billions of dollars in those programs. So, I know I'm being insecure, apparently. Even though, you know, here's the thing. I'm a white guy, but quite infamously. I don't play video games. I'm not a big gamer at all. And I don't live in my mom's basement. So, there's no reason for me to take this kind of thing personally. And I don't take it personally, but I do object to it. Because it's just not, this is not the problem. Okay? When we think about all the people who are spending billions and billions and billions of dollars, who are forking over billions of dollars to leeches and parasites, who are just living off the government as a lifestyle, these are not, you know, men in their 20s playing video games, for the most part. That is a minuscule fraction of the problem. You could kick all the, kick every 20-plus-year-old white gamer in his mom's basement off of the welfare rolls, kick them all off in one fell swoop. It would make basically no difference. Okay, it'd be like a thimble of water being taken out of the ocean. But this is the go-to talking point on the right. The people who are sucking up the welfare dollars aren't black women or Somalis or Venezuelans or anything like that. The real enemy, we're told, is gamers in their mother's basement. Young white males named Brad who are playing with their virtual reality headsets on the sofa. They're the ones bleeding us dry. That's the message that the consulting class is telling. Republican politicians to push. It's clearly sabotage. And Republicans are either unable or unwilling to see it. They're paying enormous sums of money to consultants who are telling them to go to war with their own voters. Meanwhile, back in reality, again, women are more likely to be on welfare than men, and black people are more likely to be on welfare than white people, significantly so. So the number of single young white male Brads abusing the welfare system is minuscule, practically nonexistent. And yet Republicans don't have the balls to do this ad with Shaniqua as the villain, even though that would actually be an accurate portrayal of the problem at hand. Summer has one major advantage, which is that everyone collectively lowers their standards for how they're supposed to dress. Shorts, T-shirts, whatever shoes happen to be closest to the door. For three months, apparently all of this is acceptable, or so some people think. But now fall is here, which means it's time to start dressing like an adult again. And this is actually the perfect season for Tacovas. I have a few pairs of Tacovas, and they're exactly the kind of thing that I want this time of year, or really any time of year. They're simple, classic leather boots that look great with jeans, and you can wear them casually or dress them up without looking like you're trying particularly hard. They're also genuinely comfortable. Tacovas handcrafts their boots in more than 200 steps, but there's no miserable break-in period. Mine felt great right out of the box. And if you're refreshing the rest of your wardrobe for fall, Tacovas also makes. Tons of other stuff. They make denim, shirts, belts, wallets, plenty of other things with that same classic, understated style. So summer is over. Put the flip-flops away. We've had enough.

But even as Republicans go out of their way to attack their own voters, Democrats are, of course, adopting the exact opposite strategy, as they always do. Democrats don't attack their voters. They know where their bread is buttered. Now, they don't do this. They're not going to demonize and make a caricature of their own voting base. In fact, they do the opposite. You know, they build up an entire mythology around their favored voters, particularly Black women, even though it's transparent nonsense. So here's just for example, and this was tweeted out today or this week, so it's a really interesting contrast. Here's Ayanna Pressley, who represents Massachusetts in Congress. Keep in mind how Republicans talk about white males, young white males. Here's Ayanna Pressley talking about Black women. Quote, Black women are the backbone of our economy, and we all benefit from their essential contributions to our workforce and communities. By pushing Black women out of our economy, everyone is being denied their brilliance and intellectual capital. And then she posted this video where she elaborates on her grand thesis, a thesis that's, by the way, and we'll get into this, but wrong on every level. It's wrong to say that Black women are the backbone of the economy. That's just total nonsense. But also, there's also the claim that Black women are getting pushed out of the workforce. Where is that? The exact opposite is happening and has been happening for decades. Every institution goes out of its way to change the rules, to change the hiring process, to hire as many Black women as they possibly can. But anyway, here's Ayanna Pressley describing this fantasy in greater detail. Listen. With the so-called reckless actions of the Department of Government Efficiency that took a sledgehammer to the infrastructure of our federal government, if you, if you processed a FAFSA application of the Department of Education, it was probably a Black woman doing that. If somebody in your family was preyed upon by a predatory financial product that got scammed, if they got justice, it was probably a Black woman at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. If your fair housing laws were being enforced in housing and urban development, it was a Black woman doing that. If your public health was being protected in health and human services, it was likely a Black woman doing that. You know, and I could go on. So this is disruptive of livelihoods and lives. But this is devastating. It's devastating for everyone that they're being denied the brilliance and the intellectual capital of Black women. Now, by the way, I don't get, this doesn't make me angry when I see this kind of thing. I hear this, it's total nonsense. It's a complete fantasy. But I get why they're doing it. I mean, it's a smart strategy. As we just said, Black women are like 92%. Vote for Democrats at a rate of 92%, 95%. Your most loyal voters. I mean, Black women as a demographic are more loyal to Democrats than any demographic has been loyal to any party ever. I mean, it's unheard of, 95%. Again, that's where your bread is buttered. And so you talk them up. You have nothing but positive things to say about this group that votes for us at a clip of 95%. I get why. I get why they're doing it strategically. But again, it's false. Now, she's talking about the intellectual capital of Black women and how we should all be in awe of their brilliance. And as evidence of this claim, she lists a bunch of federal government agencies that employ Black women as bureaucrats doing mostly routine and unremarkable government work. She literally says that Black women are processing applications for student financial aid as if we're supposed to sit back in awe it takes to process an application, That's like building a rocket. Move over, Elon Musk. Sure, you build a rocket ship, but can you process an application? I mean, yeah, you could definitely do that. You're a business owner, so you process paperwork all the time. But still, what's next? Did a black woman give someone a parking ticket? Maybe successfully stamp an envelope at the post office? So we're all supposed to be impressed here, but all that Presley is demonstrating is what is actually true, which is that black women hold a disproportionate number of government jobs, which is really a barely disguised form of welfare, which is designed to minimize humiliation while maximizing payouts to black women. There's a reason why only around 2% of black women in the workforce are employed in the fields of science or engineering, while around 22% are employed in roles involving the government, jumping to over 30% when you include roles in nonprofits and public administration. Then if you add EBT and all other forms of welfare, you end up with a hugely, vastly disproportionate number of black women who are on the public dole in one form or another. More than any other single demographic in the country, and it's not close. Now, everything that Democrats say and that Ayanna Pressley says about black women, about how they built the country, they're essential to the economy, the country would collapse without them, and so on. Is actually true of white men. Now, it's not statistically or historically true of black women. I'm sorry, there's just no actual evidence to support the backbone of the economy claim. And she didn't even say, like, they're one of the back, I mean, you only get one backbone, but like, they're part of the backbone of the economy, or they're, you know, an essential ingredient in the overall, she wasn't even saying, they're one of the important instruments in the symphony of power. No, she said, the backbone, the backbone of the economy. And that is pure mythology. Not true. I mean, the fact is that if black women got sick and tired of being so oppressed and persecuted by our horrible country and all decided to book JetBlue tickets and leave for greener pastures tomorrow, there's no statistical data-based reason to think that it would bring America to its knees. As Ayanna Pressley claims. Now, if white men were to all leave, though I'm not really sure where we would go, it would, without question, cripple our society overnight. That's the reality. And if white men never came here in the first place, there would be no country. If white men never came here in the first place, this country would not be a country, it would be a landmass only populated by. Primitive tribes, most of whom still would not have invented the wheel. Again, that's just a fact. And yet no elected Republican on the national stage, and I really mean none of them, not a single one would ever get up on stage and say about white men what Ayanna Pressley and every Democrat says every day about black women. No Republican, not Sarah Huckabee Sanders or anyone else. None of them, even the ones that we think are, you know, kind of based, kind of, you know, kind of right wing, even them, they are not going to get up and say, quote, white men are the backbone of our economy and we all benefit from their essential contributions to our workforce and communities. By pushing white men out of our economy, everyone is denied their brilliance and intellectual capital. No Republican will ever say that. Even though it's true on every point. It's obviously not racist to say, it's just a true thing about this particular group that is essential to the country in, you know, currently and historically in a way that no other group is. It's true. It's true that they're the backbone of the economy. It's true that their contributions are essential. It's true that they're being pushed out of the economy. Yet this is not a truth that will be explicitly acknowledged by any of our so-called representatives. The most that some of them might do, maybe, is to speak glowingly about, you know, the wonderful ways that various groups contribute to American culture and then include white men in that list. But most of them won't even do that. And they certainly won't. They certainly won't say anything uniquely positive about white men. They'll say it about every other group. They would never say that about white men. Again, we all know that. If you pretend you don't know that, you're insulting our intelligence. We all know that's true. Should we just accept that? Should we surrender ourselves to this state of affairs? Should we just learn to love or at least accept without complaint the idea that white men can only be condemned but never praised? Should we even sit back silently while the insulting stereotypes rightfully earned by other demographic groups are put around our neck instead? Should we just allow ourselves to be the kind of like sacrificial goats of modern Western society, saddled with the sins of the village and exiled into the wilderness? My answer to that is not only no, but hell no. And that should be the answer we all give. It should be the answer the Republican Party gives. That will only happen if they start by getting rid of all their communications consultants, particularly the girl bosses and the DEI hires, and replace them with people who understand why they won the last election and why they're currently on pace to lose the next one. Instead of running a demoralization campaign against your own voters, try something productive. And that goes beyond rhetoric. I mean, yeah, it wouldn't kill you to every once in a while say something positive about your own base. It wouldn't kill you. Maybe once every 100 years, maybe you might do that. But it goes beyond that. What about suspending the H-1B program or shutting down SNAP entirely or launching a civil rights investigation into every government agency that has deliberately refused to hire white men as a matter of policy? Spoken or unspoken? Maybe take a single concrete step to improve the lives of white Americans instead of mocking them. Now, it's one way you can have some chance of actually staying in power, assuming you actually want to. The white men did not simply build the United States. They also built the Republican Party. And without them, this party, as we know it, will cease to exist in very short order. That'll do it for the show today. Thanks for watching. Thanks for listening. Talk to you tomorrow. Have a great day. Godspeed. Every significant movement in history has started with protesting. You're a traitor! It's Uncle Tom! This is our generation's civil rights!
