Right wing newspaper-ish um media outlet the Washington Examiner reports that Team MAGA are starting to piss their pants over lagging male turnout in key swing states, citing tweets by small-faced get-out-the-vote expert Charlie Kirk and other right wing propagandist Mike Cernovich.
“Supporters of former President Donald Trump have largely been optimistic [Are you fucking serious? ‘Optimistic’? Lol, the whole MAGAverse has been acting like he’s already won for months now] about his chances to take back the White House, but with less than a week before Election Day, some are raising the red flag over early voting data,” the Examiner writes of the about-face.
Christ… On paper it wasn’t the worst idea and it still yet may work. Activating low-propensity male voters in the Rogan-crypto-MMA-incel-masturbator set would probably have run up the score against Joe Biden. It may prove decisive on Election Day. It also required competence and execution which – look, we’re not the ones saying this, the Examiner and Kirk are – does not appear to have actually been effected in the early vote phase here and now it looks like it’s Tuesday or nothing.
Male turnout in Pennsylvania for Trump has been a disaster.
Unless this changes, Kamala Harris takes PA and it's over.

Cernovich is just a passive dipshit who has little if any agency here.
Early vote has been disproportionately female.
If men stay at home, Kamala is president. It’s that simple.
If you want a vision of the future if you don't vote, imagine Kamala's voice cackling, forever.
Men need to GO VOTE NOW.

Kirk however kind of got Ronna Not-Romney McDaniel fired and was supposed to be a key player in this effort to get male voters to turn out en masse for Trump. The Washington Examiner just blithely describes him as “working to help Trump’s campaign” rather than saying “this guy fucked up.”
Huh. Well God willing there will be plenty of recrimination starting next Wednesday.
