The Democrats' problem is that they view coalition building as heresy.

When a party loses independence, swing voters, and the working class, their instinct should be to try to win back those voters, not to purge the moderates from the primaries, as David Hogg recommends, not to burn the middle to save the far left flank, and not to pitch revolutionary socialism as AOC and Bernie Sanders fly around the country on private jets,

crying oligarchy while they themselves become parodies of their own populism. And instead of taking pitchforks to the old guard of the Democratic Party, these people should really have a reality check. Are Eat the Rich and men and women's sports on the social issue side, are those hills that they really want to die on? Do they think they have national appeal? Spoiler alert, they do not.

Well, Link, Democrats, including Democratic women like Hillary Clinton, never seem to learn that disparaging and lecturing voters is not a good strategy. It's not going to work. It didn't work on the campaign trail this time around with Tim Walz pandering to young men with silly stereotypes. It didn't work with The View reprimanding Republican women for being betrayers of their sex.

Isn't this, Link, the pot calling the kettle black? Because if Hillary Clinton is going to stand there and say, y'all are handmaidens to the patriarchy, isn't she their ringleader? She has remained married, let's be real, to a man who was a serial adulterer because she likes the proximity to power. She also...

covered for the fact that her husband was a major associate of serial sexual predator and financier Jeffrey Epstein. I mean, the reports are that Bill Clinton traveled at least a dozen times on the Lolita Express, where we know Epstein courted and abused young girls. And Hillary Clinton never made a peep about that. So the hypocrisy is truly dripping, and there's more where that came from.

According to some reports, Victor Davis Hanson wrote about this at National Review in 2015. While she was a senator, Hillary Clinton apparently paid her female staffers less than her male staffers for the exact same job. I mean, come on. Enough with this fake feminism. Ma'am, you don't honor any of it.

And again, Link, this comment from Hillary Clinton ignores the fact that she covered for Jeffrey Epstein's victims who were women. And I mean, that's, again, glaring hypocrisy. So she can't pretend to care for the welfare of women more broadly, given that, which what happened back then.

And it was almost as though the message to those future women and future generations that, look, you know, we'll take a couple for the team so long as we can advance abortion rights.

You know, as long as these Democrats say the right things and they promote the right progressive policies, it's okay that behind the scenes, they're all deeply corrupt and actually are engaging in abusive women themselves. And with regards to the Elon Musk strategy of repopulating the earth, obviously it's different than what we've heard before in terms of rhetoric.

But the fact remains, you know, we are well below the replacement rate as a nation. It is absolutely something to consider that we should be trying to encourage family formation in this country, not baby making, which is what she tries to reduce Republicans to, but family formation.
Spot On with Link Lauren

Family formation meaning that you have a unit that sticks together, that's the anchor of civil society, that is the foundation of Western civilization. You need that to continue the survival of your species. This is very basic stuff, not complicated at all. And she's trying to make us out to be, once again, the Handmaid's Tale for saying that this is a prerequisite to humanity continuing. Right.

Young men are very optimistic about the future, Link. And I think it's pretty self-evident that it's because partially of the rollback of DEI and gender ideology, which are institutional barriers to their success. That's a fact, right? If you have gender quotas, that means that some very competent white cis males might be overlooked for a job that they're qualified for.

And I speak of this as a triplet with two brothers who who are my age, so Gen Z guys that are in the workforce right now. And I've noticed their attitude over the last four years of Biden's shift to serious pessimism about their prospects in America. Economic mobility, dating relations, it's all been degraded severely because of the left.

And their reaction to that, I think they wanted to give the Democrats a chance to persuade them, but the demonization made it impossible. And so the right is the only one welcoming them with open arms and telling them, by the way, your fears and your concerns are valid. And we are going to legitimize your manhood, which is not toxic, by the way. It's actually not. It's it's a blessing.
Spot On with Link Lauren

It's the cornerstone of a functioning society, your masculinity. And I think that's what we're seeing in the polling is that young men are shifting right dramatically. And Democrats continue to push them further and further away.
Spot On with Link Lauren
Did Biden's Family Hide Cancer Diagnosis, Deplorable Hillary is Back, and Dating Across Party Lines
Well, and don't forget, Link, that under the Obama administration, there were those Title IX witch hunts on college campuses that effectively killed due process for young men who were accused of sexual assault. So they were assumed to be guilty from the get-go without there actually being a process of justice to determine whether they had actually committed what was alleged.
Spot On with Link Lauren
Did Biden's Family Hide Cancer Diagnosis, Deplorable Hillary is Back, and Dating Across Party Lines
So that generated, I think, quite a lot of resentment in young men. And to your point about Me Too, that has translated in the dating world to... Skepticism from both sexes towards each other and men being afraid to be chivalrous because it might be misconstrued the wrong way. This is the legacy of leftism. It's literally tearing down gender dynamics in real time in college campuses.

And you and I are both Gen Z, Link. You know that authenticity is our currency. We want relatability more than anything. So when I think back to how Tim Walz, again, just... pandered to young men with these belittling archetypes. It's him in camo gear, haphazardly loading a hunting rifle while he's LARPing as Larry the Cable Guy.

How on earth do you think young men, which again, it assumes that they are idiotic. It assumes that that kind of costume dressing is enough to win their hearts and minds. It's truly bottom of the barrel type stuff. Trump, on the other hand, I believe was the archetype of an alpha male, whether you agree with that or not, that young men had been searching for.

He basically told them, you do not need to apologize for who you are, number one. Number two, I'm going to make the conditions in this country conducive to your thriving and to your family's thriving. With the economy, by closing the border, you name it, that is more empowering to young men than any kind of costume or, you know, dress up.

Yeah, absolutely. And look, first ladies, it's not uncommon for them to engage in initiatives in complement with their husband's work, obviously, usually in the past. With Democratic first ladies, it tends to be activism, not the kind that we would want in this country, but this is overdue. It truly is.

ai generated pornography has certainly degraded as i said earlier dating relations greatly i mean you could even go further than that i mean pornography especially the violent kind has normalized a lot of really bad behaviors in in men and women and it's also diminished trust between between young men and women and i mean especially if it's non-consensual

This is this is very dangerous out there for young adolescents, for young teens who are growing up in this world. And it's I mean, tackling technology in the right way, I think, is is important for this administration. And I mean, we're even seeing Pope Leo take on. So this is very much like the zeitgeist is, okay, we know that AI is here. We know it's real.

We can use it to our advantage and harness it properly. But when it starts to become a threat, we need guardrails. We need regulations. And this one is uncontroversial. So I would like to see everyone jump on board with Melania's idea.
Spot On with Link Lauren
Did Biden's Family Hide Cancer Diagnosis, Deplorable Hillary is Back, and Dating Across Party Lines
It's very simple. She's associated with the wrong politics, which if you are, you're a leper to the fashion world. This is a very deep-seated problem. I actually know a fashion designer in New York City who leans conservative, and he's actually, like Melania, a first-generation immigrant who came to this country with very little money in his pocket and achieved the American dream the hard way.

He actually, this designer I'm referring to, was discovered by Anna Wintour. But what he told me is that after, it wasn't because of his politics, but he sort of realized that the industry was so left-wing dominated that it was almost like, well, the ideological conformity was necessary if you were going to succeed. And he was lucky enough to have Ivana as one of his major clients.

Also, Ivanka, one of the first runway show Ivanka ever modeled in was this designer's show. His name is Zhang Toi. Everybody should follow him. He's incredible. But he really gave me insights into how this industry, including the editorial fashion houses like Vogue, like Glamour, like Elle, they are 100% in the tank for Democrats.

And it's really shameful because once upon a time, these were household favorites. I grew up reading Teen Vogue, and I remember that it was very neutral. It was just dating and advice. And then at some point, it lurched leftward and started promoting the Democratic Socialists of America.

And just to give you an indicator of how hijacked these magazines are, Melania, again, there's no one more qualified to be covered by Vogue. There's no one more qualified. She is a supermodel. She's gorgeous. I mean, like, supermodel. She speaks five languages. She's an immigrant.

She's diverse by the leftist framing, but because she is affiliated with the wrong side of the aisle, it's off the table. And it's sad. It's tribalism because it... Honestly, fashion should not be political. You should follow the market. And now we're in this time in the country where conservatism is on the rebound. It's making us reassent in our culture.

Well, and didn't Versace actually have a formal collaboration with Dylan Mulvaney, to my knowledge? I believe I saw that reporting. Imagine being so bold as Versace as to throw your entire brand on the line the way that Bud Light learned a very hard lesson about. Yes.
Spot On with Link Lauren
Did Biden's Family Hide Cancer Diagnosis, Deplorable Hillary is Back, and Dating Across Party Lines
It's truly tragic when I saw that because it's basically a cry for help, not only from that designer, but again, from Dylan Mulvaney. And the more I see him, again, try to be this caricature of whether at first it was a little girl, okay? Now it's evolved into a, I guess, a smoke show for... Fashion model. And again, it's going to change.
Spot On with Link Lauren

Whatever the next iteration of Dylan Mulvaney's getup is going to be is going to be equally jarring. And look, as a consumer, as a frequent fashion consumer, I don't want to see a male body model the dresses that I might be wearing. I want to see Melania wear the dresses I might be wearing or or another like woman of elegance and incredible figure. It's this is not this is intuitive, right?

Like, why is a shopper? Would I look at a picture of Dylan Mulvaney wearing a gorgeous gown, by the way, gorgeous gown? Like, there's nothing wrong with the gown and be like, yeah, you know, I can really see myself in that dress. because the man is wearing it. It's just, it defies all reason. And I pity, I pity Versace. I pity Dylan Mulvaney.

I mean, seriously, when Democrats say jump, these fashion magazines are at the point where they're saying how high. She's wearing space buns. She looks like a lunatic.

We have this classic displays that celebrate Americana beauty and excellence. And it's they're not reinventing the wheel here. They're just going back to what honors our history and our heritage as a nation. And, you know, I just think you can't teach that kind of aesthetic eye. Melania has it.

And it's really a shame that Anna Wintour is supposed to be this powerhouse of fashion, like the icon, the kingmaker of fashion. I mean, there are all the fashion labels that you and I know of, they do take cues. at a certain point with their runway collections and seasons. If you've watched any of the documentaries by Anna Wintour, they take their cues from her.

I wish someone had told her, you know, this is when a mother figure, like, stops their daughter before they're about to leave the house and say, no. And she clearly did not have that kind of intervention. And it's very tragic. But, look, I mean, decorum is a common theme, I think, from... And it's not that Lauren Sanchez is a bona fide Democrat.
