Sneering progressives are driving young white men into the arms of the GOP

Uh, no. The point is that, when folks in minority positions are pissed off and saying things that paint with too broad a brush, the last thing a white dude should be doing is to interrupt and say, “NOT MEEEEEEEEEEE.”

I get irritated when I read stuff that decries all men, or all white men (or all white women for that matter). But I’ve learned that rolling my eyes and moving on is the best response.

For one thing, the white dude lecturing the person in a minority position never changes a single mind. For another thing, these broad brushes never do actual damage (unlike, say, the broad brushes that paint black men as all violent and result in disproportionate police violence and incarceration). For a third thing, nobody has demonstrated that a statistically significant number of white males are so butthurt by such broad brushes that they’ll vote for Trump out of spite–much less the insane 20 point swing that Slacker can’t help but believe in.
