The White Dudes for Harris group call sounded like a very bad idea. The group’s organizer, Ross Morales Rocketto, acknowledged as much when he kicked off the video fundraiser—which featured Jeff Bridges, Mark Hamill, and other celebrities, as well as a spate of vice-presidential hopefuls—Monday night. “Throughout American history, when white men have organized, it was often with pointy hats on,” Morales Rocketto said.

My sentiments exactly. I’m generally hostile to any form of racial identitarianism, and I’ve spent the past few years watching—and criticizing—liberals as they’ve peddled condescending, divisive, and often bizarre rhetoric in the name of “anti-racism,” fighting sexism, and generally militating for progress. I thought the event would be the kind of thing that played well with the college-educated voters who already make up the Democratic base, but that might repel the swing-state and working-class men the party needs to court in states such as Wisconsin and Michigan.
