In a candid interview, Senator John Fetterman of Pennsylvania expressed concerns about the Democratic Party's image and its strained relationship with white men. Fetterman pointed to the party's tendency to 'shame and scold' its opponents and its perception of men as the problem.
One of the most fascinating aspects of the 2024 election was the shifting identities of the major political parties. Republicans emerged from the election rebranded as a 'common sense' party for the working class. Democrats, on the other hand, came away from the election looking like angry scolds who are hostile towards men, particularly white men.
There has been no introspection about this from Democratic party leaders, but Senator John Fetterman of Pennsylvania addressed it very plainly during a recent appearance on the Tara Palmeri podcast. While appearing on the “Somebody’s Gotta Win” podcast on Thursday, host and journalist Tara Palmeri asked Fetterman about how even insiders within the Democratic Party acknowledged the damage their image has taken since the 2024 election. Fetterman reiterated his belief that the party did it to itself by constantly attacking and demeaning their opponents. 'I think their primary currency was shaming and scolding and talking down to people and telling them 'Hey, I know better than you, or you're dopes, or you're a bro, or you're ignorant or, how can you be this dumb? I can’t imagine it. And then, by the way, they’re fascists. How can you vote for that?'” Fetterman said. He continued, 'And you know, when you’re in a state like Pennsylvania, I know and I love people that voted for Trump, and they’re not fascist. They don’t support insurrection and those things. And if you go to an extreme, and you become a boutique kind of proposition, then you’re going to lose the argument. And we have done that.' 'I think that’s been seriously eroding for a while. And in some cases, in the conversations I’ve had, a lot of people, they don’t even want to say it publicly, but they just feel like the other side seems like…the men’s the problem,” Fetterman said. “Men are to blame. Or their masculinity is toxic. Or unless you’re able to conform to our very strict kinds of definition of what we think is appropriate, well then, hey, I’m going to find an alternative. And they’ve done that. That’s absolutely true.” “And once kind of turned their back on that demographic, it’s going to be difficult to rebuild and replace that with those voters, because I think that migration has been an ongoing phenomenon for several years and that has been in front and center in part of the election in ’24,” he concluded. John Fetterman explains why Democrat party brand is toxic, and is not sure the Democrats can 'win white men back': Tara Palmeri: 'Why is the Democratic Party viewed as toxic by so many? Even people inside the party acknowledge that.' The bombshell dropped when Fetterman admitted the Democratic Party had fractured its relationship with white men so severely that he’s “not sure” if it’s possible that it can be repaired. It’s amazing that Fetterman is the one member of his party who seems to understand these issues and is willing to talk about them so frankly. Democrats have become so bad that I question rather the party can survive. They have been alienating white men for decades, just the rate has accelerated
