James Talarico tries, and fails, to man up
Talarico is alienating the very people he needs to convince he's manly.

One might almost pity James Talarico, who is the Democrat candidate for the US Senate in Texas. OK. You caught me. One absolutely must not pity Talarico. He’s painting himself into a political corner and has only himself to blame. At PJ Media, Scott Pinsker explains:
From NBC News:
The gender gap between men and women has been a durable fact of life in American politics — and nowhere is this gap larger than among the youngest cohort of American adults, Gen Z.
But it’s not just politics driving the divide. The latest NBC News Decision Desk Poll powered by SurveyMonkey shows how the political gender gap persists alongside different social beliefs between young men and women.

Gen Z men who voted for Trump rate having children as the most important thing in their personal definition of success. Gen Z women who voted for Harris ranked having children as the second-least important thing in their personal definition of success.
To put it directly, men in general and particularly Trump voters want to have children and be able to support a family. The horror. Female Democrats want pretty much anything but. They want to be sufficiently wealthy to avoid marriage and children. Pinsker continues:
If politics is a numbers game, then the numbers favor the GOP: There are roughly 268 million Americans over the age of 15. Just 42.7 million are women who’ve never been married. (Another 14.6 million are divorced women.)
By contrast, there are over 136 million married Americans. Married couples — plus all the Gen Z men who aspire to be married — are BY FAR the more important demographic.
Demographics is destiny. Democrats don’t apply reality to themselves, which is why they’re trying to import voters who do have lots of children and who will vote for them.
