Dave Portnoy, the founder of Barstool Sports, appeared on CBS News this weekend and spoke about a number of topics, but one of the most interesting ones was when he was asked why Democrats have lost men.
Portnoy is an excellent person to ask about this. As the head of Barstool Sports, Portnoy has built an empire out of subjects that appeal almost exclusively to guys. He knows the male mind well.
Portnoy also leans conservative/libertarian. He recently said that he might move his company out of New York City due to Zohran Mamdani’s mayoral win.
From CBS News:
Raised in a liberal Jewish home outside of Boston, Portnoy now represents a movement in conservative politics – a young, mostly-male fan base who turned away from Democrats and voted for Donald Trump.
I asked Portnoy, “What happened to the Democrats? Why did they lose so many young men?”
“People often think I have the answer,” he replied. “My nutshell is generally they were very anti-normal guys.”
“What do you mean, ‘normal guys’? Are you saying there’s only one way to be a guy?”
“It’s okay to be like, if that girl’s hot, ‘Hey, that girl’s hot. I want to drink, I want to party, I like frat parties…’ That was all bad,” Portnoy said. “And to be honest, the White guy … was the bad guy, became the bad guy. And there’s a lot of, you know, White dudes who are like, ‘Well, I’m not the bad guy. Like, what are you getting mad at me for? I wasn’t here for colonialism or any of the stuff that you guys are complaining about 200 years ago. Like, what did I do?’
“And even with the Trump stuff, he won the election,” he said. “You had a candidate basically calling you a deplorable or, you know, you’re a Nazi if you vote for Trump. I don’t know if they used that exact word, but it felt like that.”
Here’s a clip:
SO TRUE! Q: “What happened to the Democrats? Why did they lose so many young men?”

Everything Dave says there is correct. Democrats decided to demonize men, so men walked away from them. It’s that simple.
