JD Vance Attacks Culture, Supports Traditional Values

Vice President JD Vance, speaking at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC), criticized what he perceives as a cultural push to suppress masculine traits in young men, describing it as an attempt to turn people into 'androgynous idiots'. Vance advocated for young men to reject this 'broken culture' and embrace their masculinity, citing traditional activities like telling jokes and drinking beer as examples of natural masculine behavior. He highlighted President Trump's administration as a model for promoting policies that support traditional gender roles and criticized the media for attacking Trump’s outspoken style. Vance’s remarks drew criticism on social media, with some questioning his views on masculinity and labeling his claims as unfounded. The comments also sparked political rebukes, with critics accusing Vance of failing to stand up for his beliefs in other contexts. His speech is part of a broader Republican strategy to appeal to young men by promoting traditional values and attacking progressive cultural norms.
