It’s abundantly clear to me that Tim Walz does not understand what masculinity is, based on his demeanor and his constant comparisons of manhood to activities rather than attributes.

When Walz was chosen as Kamala Harris’s running mate, Democrats immediately saw it as an opportunity to "win back" the men they had alienated with their anti-male, antagonistic rhetoric and irreverent messaging toward us.

Kamala Harris had a quintessential "man problem," and they thought Tim Walz could shore up her failing male support in the polls.

MSNBC fawned over him, portraying him as a sort of modern or new-age man who is highly emotional yet somehow internally macho.

Through the lens of there being only two types of men—toxic and non-toxic—they spent so much time painting Trump as the toxic man that they were left with a try-hard, insecure figure like Tim Walz.

There are many ways to tell if someone is insecure about who they are, but a clear sign is that they spend far too much time trying to prove what they are instead of simply being it.

Trump doesn’t incessantly talk about how he’s a "real man" or use every media appearance to convince you he’s relatable to men through some stereotypically male activity. Whether you love or hate Trump, he just is himself. He’s confident—not because he says he’s confident, but because he simply is.

A person who explicitly tells you how smart they are likely isn’t smart and doesn’t believe it themselves. This applies to any other internal attribute. It’s not for someone to tell you their character; it’s for others to assess for themselves.

Tim Walz believes that masculinity is measurable by the activities he’s participated in and by bragging about how great he is at a given male-associated pursuit.

While there are activities typically associated with men, those activities don’t make you masculine or a man. Tim Walz loves to bring up how he hunts, but there are women who hunt too—that doesn’t make them men or masculine.

Walz’s insecurity aligns with my biggest problem with the political left and how they equate the essence of manhood with a list of activities instead of personal qualities. It’s no different from saying womanhood is equivalent to wearing dresses and makeup, which is an absurdly low threshold.

So, what is a masculine man? Masculine men are balanced individuals who are not easily toppled emotionally. They are confident in their capabilities while maintaining humility and acknowledging where they fall short.

Masculine men are calm under pressure yet recognize the need to step away from conflict when necessary. These men are purpose-driven and willing to sacrifice themselves for the people they love.

Plenty of masculine men don’t know how to fix a car, play football, or hunt, because these activities never defined what it is to be a man. They are simply pursuits that men can bond over, learn from, or use to accentuate what they already possess.

Walz is what I would define as a performative man. He’s a guy who is always trying to prove himself to the world, which is why he’s constantly talking about the supposedly manly things he does. He sounds incredibly goofy when he tries to talk tough, as if this middle-aged man is prepared to get into a street fight at a moment’s notice.

But masculine men don’t feel the need to prove anything to anyone. They don’t speak recklessly, especially about engaging in violent acts.

If you are something, you don’t have to convince anyone to believe it. People can tell what’s genuine and what isn’t.

Tim Walz isn’t some new-age masculine man; he’s an insecure guy who desperately wants you to believe he’s something more than he actually is.

Politics is filled with emotional manipulation tactics, and the more irrational you are, the more you make people money or the easier you are to guide as pawns.

You’ll be encouraged to focus on perceived personal character traits of politicians you’ll never meet and who don’t know you for a very particular reason: It’s unverifiable for 99.9% of the population.

I’ve seen several movies with Joe Pesci, but I’d never pretend to know the true character of Joe Pesci or confuse his public perception with being his definitive personality.

Much of what you see surrounding politicians is curated, and you only see what they want you to see. They often rehearse answers and have teams of staffers come up with their responses. In other words, politics is one big show that people take too seriously.

Don’t get me wrong, I understand why. Someone like Trump has a lot of power, and you should be critical of someone like him. However, there’s a bit of performance to him and dramatization that comes from his adversaries in the opposition party.

The same way you have your favorite or most hated character in a television series you watch, there are tactics that have you taking the same approach but with real people.

Now, people are told that they must either love or hate a given politician and ignore being pragmatic about real flawed people that you neither hate nor love.

And often, with these emotions of loving or hating someone comes the idea that your favorite political character loves or hates you back. There’s an entire industry built on fans of television shows meeting their favorite characters—I mean, actors—in person.

I was watching this video from "The Standard of Truth Podcast" with April Chapman, and she was explaining how a male stranger became irrationally emotional and aggressive with her about Donald Trump.

It was a conversation that he initiated, expecting her to say she hates his least favorite character in a political series, Donald Trump, when he was thrown off guard by her stating that she’s in favor of what he’s doing in his presidency.

He became overly emotional, got in her face, and needed someone to intervene to calm him down. But what was fascinating was when he told her that Donald Trump "doesn’t love her," meaning doesn’t love Black people.

Her response was that she doesn’t need a man she doesn’t know to love her to do his job or give her self-worth.

For this man, Donald Trump isn’t a politician but a villainous character he can’t stand. He hates him so much that he continues to watch the next episode to see what terrible thing he’ll do.

But like any television show, what you’re seeing is often dictated by producers, writers, and editors. When you read a ridiculous headline, if you read the story in good faith, it’s likely not that crazy.

When you hear a bonkers narrative about Trump, ask yourself, "Can the president even do that?" and a Google search will show you that he can’t.

Every addictive television show has several wild cliffhangers to keep you hooked. But the reality of politics is far more boring than people want to believe.

It’s filled with boring, nerdy, and slightly eccentric types who are often risk-averse. They’re not leading men or women on television shows because they’re not that interesting.

Occasionally, there’s some real drama that happens, but trust me when I say that this is stuff you’ll never see on television or reported in any publication.

It’s usually rumor-mill stuff and personal stories you’ll hear from the horse’s mouth that the public would never find out. When you’re friendly with politicians and political insiders, this is pretty common stuff.

If there’s anything I can get across to you, it’s this: The people you think are evil or amazing are neither. They’re all flawed people who sometimes do good and bad. Some have good intentions most of the time; some don’t. It’s a mixed bag.

Even the people I’d never vote for, some are probably cool to hang out with. I have people in my life who don’t agree with my politics and still love me because I’m not some distant television character.

But this is why they must spice up the conversation: The people in the political world aren’t that interesting.

You’re the audience they’re manipulating, not informing.

Politics often brings out our inner child—the most immature version of it. Unfortunately, the Democratic Party has enabled childlike behavior from elected officials.

The entire nation got to see the level of juvenile conduct that is prevalent and celebrated by Democrats.

If I'm honest, it's getting harder to tell the difference between an elected representative and a teenage TikTok influencer because the entire political ecosphere rewards incivility, defiance, and borderline degenerate behavior.

Representatives in Congress are constantly running for office, which means they're perpetually fundraising. And what better way to get the attention of people outside of your district than to act bombastic and antagonistic every chance you get?

But what they don't realize is that to normal Americans, they look like belligerent, attention-starved children. They know the rules of conduct, but just like a bad teen episode on a talk show, they "don't care" and will "do what they want!"

They're foul-mouthed, behaviorally disgusting, and ill-disciplined whenever there’s a camera nearby. Just like spoiled children, they make everything about themselves when the purpose of us even knowing who they are was because they sold voters on making it about us.

Even for this State of the Union address, some Democratic politicians, like AOC, announced plans to act like teenage runaways, live-streaming on Instagram and trash-talking their high school rivals instead of behaving like adults who sometimes have to be seen with disliked co-workers.

Just like naïve-minded children, everything to them is dichotomous and simple. You're either with them or against them—or, in other words, you're either their "bestie" or a "frenemy."

If you choose to even glance at their arch-nemesis from the other side of the cafeteria, in classic mean-girl fashion, they can’t wait to pounce at the chance to ruin your reputation and make an example out of you.

And this is the crux of the behavior that I’m seeing: it trickles down from the politicians to the media to the voters. Most people are followers, looking for trends and social cues of acceptable conduct.

What I’m seeing around me is the Democratic Party excusing the inexcusable, only because they see themselves as the defiant child standing up against "Daddy Trump," shouting how much they hate him as they slam their bedroom doors shut.

They are the kids you’d never want to allow into your house with their abhorrent behavior. But like any terrible child, I blame the parents.

After the ridiculous antics stemming from the State of the Union address, it’s reported that Democratic leadership called the worst-behaved children into the proverbial living room to give them a piece of their mind, shouting their displeasure with their recent conduct.

However, like typical enabling parents, they are allergic to disciplining them and fight against any form of punishment.

Telling someone they did something wrong while simultaneously preventing them from receiving punishment sends mixed messages and makes anyone subservient to you question your authority.

But of course, in typical defensive fashion, someone will hear my criticisms of the childish nature of many present-day Democratic Party representatives, media personalities, and party loyalists and deflect onto the children across the street: the Republicans.

What they do should have nothing to do with what’s happening in your house. My mother taught me a long time ago that what "they do" has nothing to do with what’s happening in our home.

Children get worse, not better, if they are rewarded for their bad behavior. The more we celebrate immaturity from these adult-juveniles, the less likely they will change.

A Democratic party that purely wants to be an opposition party stands for nothing and doesn’t lead, instead reacts.

Opposition parties have no principles and if they remain so uncritically simple minded of taking the alternative position to anything that Trump does, then the message is clear to the public that you’re not worthy of being followed.

If the end-game is to just play antagonistic games with Republicans for likes and shares, then why should I believe that you’ll see beyond your hatred to advocate for me?

America deserves two competent parties fighting for their vote. The Democrats need to grow up for the sake of our nation.
