Over the course of at least 20 years, we have slid into a world of euphemistic, feminized public conversation full of feelings and empty of facts. The cultural rise of what you could call “resentment feminism,” which is really just female narcissism, has made it impossible for many alleged adults to use their brains. Oh, they claim they have “thoughts” about policy and societal questions, but they don’t. They have feelings.
Everyone knows this is true. Look at the way we talk now, compared to 20 years ago. Even middle-aged adults—even men—talk about “vibes,” “feelz,” “inclusivity,” “belonging.” There’s been at least a 10-year social ban on recognizing that men in dresses aren’t women because we’re not allowed to “invalidate” “transwomen.” This is the product of a culture that has put the prototypical elementary school teacher on a cultural pedestal while wussifying boys and men.
The change in tone, the infantilization of adult political discourse, is most obvious in the legacy news media. There was never a golden age in which the New York Times, CNN, and CBS only told the truth straight down the middle, but there was a time in living memory when you could expect at least some facts, and almost no overt “feelings,” in the pages of the newspapers of record.
Today? News anchors blatantly editorialize during their broadcasts. The entire legacy media is liberal and woke, and hates Donald Trump with an intensity usually reserved for intra-family generational grudges. Women like Rachel Maddow on MSNBC drone on in histrionic terms, telling Americans that the Republican Party is bringing authoritarianism and fascism to the country because the President wants to deport illegal aliens.
While no one was looking it became mainstream cultural opinion, at least in the media, that’s it’s “mean” to kick people out of the U.S. who broke in illegally. In April of 2025 we were treated to the astonishing spectacle of elected U.S. officials flying to El Salvador to do “wellness checks” on a Salvadoran gang member who finally got booted out of the country, which makes liberals sad.
That’s why it’s such a treat to watch top Trump advisor Stephen Miller bring back fully adult, masculine, fact-based authority to the political conversation. The man knows the constitution and U.S. law backward and forward, and he tolerates no mewling emotional nonsense from the mainstream press.
Check out this scolding Miller gave the White House press corps, which seems to have no idea what legal due process actually is. Bafflingly, they’re more concerned about the alleged “legal rights” of foreign nationals who bust into the U.S. than they are about the fact that some of these aliens are raping and murdering American women.
A good portion of the American public is glad to hear. Here’s how people reacted on X/Twitter.
Of course, there are always a few who have a hard time understanding clear, declarative sentences. Or, perhaps they’re just “fact-sensitive.”
