Election 2026 has multiple storylines, but one of the more interesting is the through line to the Left that rejects the entire vision of modern Western man and embraces something very different.
Democrat Senator Jon Ossoff’s carefully scripted line attacking cancer survivor Natalie Harp, the president’s assistant, by intentionally implying an inappropriate relationship between the two is just another example. Before that, we had The New York Times writer Jodi Kantor, one of the most aggressive MeToo advocates, excusing and downplaying the behavior of Maine’s Graham Platner. And then we had the absurdity of the Abdul El-Sayed pool party surrounded by fashion-obsessed influencers — Hasan Piker included — when his wife can’t even wear a swimsuit.
Jon Ossoff attempts to clean up his “travel with Natalie” line by claiming it was a commentary about all of President Trump’s White House aides in general.

From Platner to El-Sayed to now Ossoff, there is a decidedly Middle Eastern tone to these supposedly masculine lefties: Rape doesn’t really exist. Your wife can’t wear a swimsuit to a pool party, but the man of the house can hang with influencers who do. We can now slut shame you for having a high-profile job — how unwomanly.
It’s a particular kind of misogyny, different from the kind that came before. Instead of offering a perspective on American Democratic men that is of the cheap Nina Burleigh variety — the Time magazine reporter who said of Bill Clinton, “I’d be happy to give him [oral sex] just to thank him for keeping abortion legal,” an offer there is no indication Bill took up — this is an attitude right out of Michel Houellebecq’s Submission. Sure, at first that Handmaid’s Tale outfit was a protest — but what if you learned to love it?
Consider it a MeToo aftershock, a corollary to American men who seek to date more foreign-born women. The Left, having embraced the idea that they are the party of the Moral Majority, is now openly advocating for a form of female subjugation that is notably at odds with the Western understanding of what modern manhood and womanhood look like. It’s as if the lesson they took from their precipitous loss of young male voters in America was to Eat Pray Love their way into a burkini.
This goes beyond the excuse-making, slut shaming, and blatant partisan talking points of the past. Those have been with us always, since the days of James Carville’s comment about dragging a hundred-dollar bill through a trailer park. The Pod Save Bros (ever the willing supplicants to Islam) are happy to take up the legacy in its perverted form today.

This isn’t just craven politics; it’s a fundamental break with modern America. It is a direct descendant of the pathologizing of normal relationships, especially of men’s roles in relationships. The Right has veered into tradwives and tradmen with a cross on the wall, so here comes the Left’s equal and opposite reaction with crescent and star.
From the Left’s perspective today, if a man forces you to have sex, well, you must understand the needs of his war-weary PTSD. If women are forced to wear the hijab, well, that’s just their culture, which you must respect. If a woman gets far in her political career, well, they must have slept their way to the top. Meet the new Man of the Left, avatar of this old-made-new red-green alliance. And he can’t be sexist, mom and dad — he’s Muslim!
Besides, he’s down with our vision for the country: a spiral minaret atop a Planned Parenthood, a sign in front welcoming all refugees, all of it paid for by the tech billionaire about to meet the guillotine in the town square.
The Left’s broken compass is pointing in this direction, leading the Democrats to a space previously unoccupied because it was anti-Western and anti-American. But when the guardrails are removed in a desperate bid for power, self-importance, or influence, this becomes the destructive path.
What a beautiful future, if only they can seize it. If only you will let them.
