Democrats have finally opened their eyes, realizing that their party is hemorrhaging truly masculine men, what with their constant campaign of hatred toward any male with a decent testosterone count. Any adult man displaying the actual qualities of a well adjusted male are said to be engaging in “toxic masculinity.”
However, the Democratic Party’s latest campaign to try and draw men back into the fold is only proving to embarrass them and reveal their desperation. Leftists, in a ploy to try and win votes ahead of next year’s midterms are pushing out videos of them pumping iron at the gym.
Just look at Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA), whose claim to fame is sleeping with a Chinese Communist Party spy named Fang Fang. Real life is stranger than fiction.
Daily Wire host Matt Walsh commented on Swalwell’s pumping iron video, saying, “If I was a grown man who could only bench 135, you’d never see it on video unless someone secretly recorded it, and even then I would never admit it was me. And yet Swalwell recorded this himself on purpose and posted it proudly. Amazing.”

Check out more on this deliciously horrendous trend via CNN:
In one video, Texas Senate candidate Colin Allred stands in his home gym after a workout and, still in a sweat, criticizes President Donald Trump’s handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files. In another, Cait Conley, an Army veteran challenging New York Rep. Mike Lawler, talks about affordability as a video plays of her pressing weights over her head.
And when a critic on social media jabbed at his bench-press form in a recent campaign ad, Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed posted a snappy dismissal correcting how many pounds he was lifting.
“That’s 315, habibi,” El-Sayed respond in a post on X. The post has pulled in 5 million views.
Politicians working out in public is a bipartisan custom. But Democrats are increasingly posting weightlifting content in hopes of reaching male voters in the so-called “manosphere” that Trump mastered during his campaign. They are also trying to move past the ongoing arguments – fanned by Trump and Republicans on Capitol Hill – over former President Joe Biden’s physical and mental fitness.
The reason the manosphere has become so popular is because of how often liberals have assaulted genuine displays of masculinity. Men are tired of being insulted for being what God made them to be. Why should a dude say sorry for being strong physically and mentally, for not being afraid to confront the sick and twisted darkness of the world head-on?
“People want to see vigor, they want to see action, that you’re prepared to do the job, doing more than sitting behind a podium regurgitating a litany of nonsensical acronyms,” Democratic strategist Joe Caiazzo explained.
He’s correct. However, the vigor needs to be genuine and authentic. Men can tell when other men are posers. And these guys are definitely posers.
