Broken record advocacy saw citizen Adam Kinzinger attempt to pontificate on masculinity after being triggered over how “real men” should vote.
The self-styled Republican, former congressman, and current corporate media commentator set himself up for a social media smackdown Tuesday with a post that left users with the impression they could practically hear the teardrops striking his keyboard.
While Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign sought to bolster support, identity politics took front and center prompting many to rebuke the party that can’t even define what a woman is for their gender and race-based gatherings.
Leaning into his Trump Derangement Syndrome, Kinzinger lashed out on X and wrote, “There is a push by MAGA to say ‘real men’ can’t vote for Kamala. Their understanding of masculinity is so juvenile. Real men have compassion. Real men protect the vulnerable, real men would advocate tooth and nail for Ukraine to survive.”
“Soft, weak men, need someone to tell them who to vote for. A crisis of masculinity exists, but mostly on the right,” he added.

Soft, weak men, need someone to tell…

The onetime Illinois congressman, who has been redistricted into a primary battle he didn’t want to take on, doubled down on lamenting the “crisis of masculinity” in his blog where he spent roughly half of the time attempting to tear down former President Donald Trump while he propped up Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
Neither the post nor the blog appeared to land in the way Kinzinger likely expected as one user knocked the latter, “Hahaha, I love how this is just a bizarre love letter to Zelensky about how he’s the most ‘masculine man in the world.'”
Meanwhile, others were quick to remind the misty-eyed former legislator about how his lasting passion for the cause of the Ukrainian people had blinded him to propaganda like the debunked story about the “Ghost of Kyiv.”

Real men cry on national TV too, apparently.

You cried like a bitch over a staged event and you believed the “Ghost of Kiev” was real.
You don’t get to lecture anyone about being a man. pic.twitter.com/Tb8zCs275Y

Most telling in his remark was that “Soft, weak men, need someone to tell them who to vote for,” as Trump faced a legitimate challenge in the Republican primary, whereas President Joe Biden’s party sheltered him throughout the process only to coronate Harris as the candidate without a single vote within hours of the incumbent stepping aside.
A litany of other reasons countering Kinzinger’s take was provided by one user who wrote, “Uh no, the right doesn’t have soy boys, gender dysphoria, men on the right make up their own minds, aren’t part of Antifa, don’t need safe spaces or [are] frightened by our flag, don’t protest for or with our enemies, just to mention a few things. Nice try tho. This is just the short list.”
Topping the sundae of humiliation with a cherry was actor Kevin Sorbo who reiterated the main point with a direct dig at Kinzinger as he wrote, “Real men won’t vote for Kamala. Using the idea that masculinity is surrendering yourself to the government as an argument is childish and stupid at best. You’re no man.”

We understand you don’t understand masculinity… it’s best you avoid commenting on it. It’s embarrassing,

Compromised soy boy @AdamKinzinger, stop wallowing in self pity (but no question you are pitiful!)
MAGA doesn’t NEED to say “real men” can’t vote for @KamalaHarris. REAL men know they can’t.
It’s laughable that you of all wimps should school ANYONE on masculinity.

You mean like the DNC is about to tell you who to vote for, Adam?
