What just happened in #Michigan is a testament to what can happen all over the country if we choose to elect leaders who actually care about the people. Be inspired.

Our culture is literally littered with the fallout of unhappy men looking to assert their dominance. From the tantrums of our last president, to our daily mass shootings, to the broad resurgence of patriarchal male dominance, men are not doing ok and they’re making it everyone else’s problem. Join PoliticsGirl and the founder of ReMaking Manhood Mark Greene as they talk about what’s gone wrong and how strategists behind the conservative and MAGA movement are looking to weaponize every aspect of the culture wars including our culture of masculinity to their benefit, and what we, as a culture, can do about it – both for the health of our men, and the health of our society, because clearly this isn’t working.

As my guest, Lee McIntyre writes in his book On Disinformaiton: “Welcome to the world of reality denial, where truth is subordinate to ideology, feelings have more weight than evidence, and democracy hangs in the balance”. We are in a disinformation war in America where the goal of those creating the lies is not just to get us to question some particular fact – vaccines don’t work, covid isn’t real, the election was stolen – but to question your trust in people who might tell you the truth. As Lee says, “Don’t just lie – Polarize.” The right has done this incredibly well by exploiting preexisting grievances and resentments to form a community around the “us against them” narrative where the other side isn’t just biased, they’re evil. So what do we do when doubt can be overcome by evidence but trust can not. How do you get people to believe the truth then their very identity is wrapped up in NOT believing it?
