Yes, the curdling of the American man is clearly affecting all men, regardless of whether they’re watching Joe Rogan or Hasan Piker. But the desperation to defend Platner also comes from a bizarre contradiction that has emerged on the left since Trump entered office. There is a deeply-rooted sneering, condescending inability to imagine that working people — and working class men, who always are assumed to be white in these instances — could ever vote for anyone other than a slovenly, alcoholic townie oaf. And there is a borderline pathological insistence that policies like free healthcare, antitrust regulation, student debt relief, and a rebuke of Israel’s genocide in Palestine, if shouted by a white guy in his pickup truck, could somehow, magically fix the social and racial and religious divides that have opened up into yawning chasms during the Trump era. The same leftists cheering for the DSA upset in New York last month — which was led almost entirely by women of color — are completely unable to imagine that anything like that could work in the small town America populated by noble savages they imagine in their heads. Platner, for all his unending messiness, was the easy way out. The choice that meant your favorite podcaster could be anti-Trump, but didn’t have to sound “woke,” or feminine, or whatever. </p></td></tr><tr><td class="dd" align="left" style="padding:0px 15px;text-align:left;word-break:break-word;"><p style="mso-line-height-alt:150.0%;"> And I’ll admit that I was excited by Platner when I first noticed his campaign last year. I’m not from Maine, but I’m a New Englander and he reminded me of guys I grew up with. I felt the same twinge of hope that I assume many in Maine felt, seeing a man like him, with a history like his, speaking about politics the way he has. It was a hope that the guys I went to high school with or the men in my family or in my home town might suddenly wake up and realize the Republicans were screwing them over. That there might finally be a way to save all the lost, angry, awful men I know. And I still have that hope, but Platner — and any other leftist strongman that comes along — is the shortcut. And the current implosion of his campaign is exactly what happens when you take shortcuts. </p></td></tr><tr><td align="center" valign="top" style="font-size:0px;line-height:0px;padding:30px 0px
