So those big strong men who came out and stooped for Kamala Harris? It turns out they were only pretending to be manly men.
As if you couldn’t tell.
To anyone who’s ever met an actual human man, the act was as obvious as the Adam’s apple on the “woman” making your Starbucks latte. But the cringe-worthy video was never really meant to appeal to men.
The already infamous video shows several men melodramatically claiming they’re “man enough” to vote for the first female president of color. They’re supposed to be some real red-blooded Americans, but it turns out they’re mostly cut-rate actors with IMDB pages.
The fat guy in a cowboy hat is the star of a bunch of low-budget movies. You might know the old guy who loves cats and abortions as the actor famous for playing “Alcoholic Customer.” The gym bro who says he can deadlift 500 pounds actually has a pretty cool credit on “Arrested Development;” too bad the show didn’t teach him how to be funny. Two others are members of the comedy troupe Upright Citizens Brigade.
It’s all very clear these “men” — if you can even call them that — know nothing about playing the hard-working, rough and tumble guys they’re trying to portray. The Razzy-worthy performance earned no shortage of mockery online from people who could not believe the Harris campaign actually thought this would appeal to men.
They’re not wrong, but they’re thinking about this video the wrong way. The Harris campaign doesn’t care about flipping Trump-leaning dudes, but this kind of stunt is wildly appealing to the Democrats’ childless cat lady base who withers away dreaming of finding a man this neutered. The campaign wants to drive their energetic turnout. That’s who this is really for.
