If former President Donald Trump wins reelection next Tuesday, it will be because historically high percentages of black and Hispanic voters pulled the lever for the Republican candidate. If recent polls are to be believed, these GOP inroads into minority communities will be driven almost entirely by men abandoning the Democratic Party.

We know this phenomenon is real because Vice President Kamala Harris and her Democratic Party allies have explicitly tried to craft new messages to appeal to male voters in the election’s closing weeks. Unfortunately for them, the substance of these appeals betrays a warped and insulting understanding of who men are and what they want from their government.
