Doug Emhoff is such a wife guy. Tim Walz, also a wife guy. Joe Biden's a wife guy. Obama's a wife guy. Democrats are the party of men who actually like their wives.

Reposted from Joe Katz

Okay, guys, we need to get together on this. If Kamala wins, Doug Emhoff will not just be the first First Gentlemen.

He will be THE FIRST MENSCH.

TRUE

Jimmy Carter..

paultree10.bsky.social•198 days ago

I strongly believe that “liking your wife as a person” would be an extremely strong partisan valence question for American married men.

malraux.bsky.social•197 days ago

Isn't divorced guys the strongest trump demographic of all?

paultree10.bsky.social•197 days ago

Yeah, and I suspect opinion of ex-wife would be pretty telling too

joekatz45.bsky.social•198 days ago

100%

katekilla.bsky.social•198 days ago

So great.

lexophile.bsky.social•198 days ago

Wife guy much better than hush payment guy.

billywonka.bsky.social•197 days ago

I'm a Wife Guy... doesn't lessen me, make me weak... in fact, makes me stronger and proud and MORE CONFIDENT in my equally important pursuits....even if it is only tennis and golf. Real men don't mind the little woman (j/k) wearing pants BUT WE DON'T WEAR SKIRTS (most of us) lol

tjrbare.bsky.social•198 days ago

I actually think this is a very key distinction! Trump buried his first wife at a golf course for a fucking tax break! He is actively disgusting on this issue.

chattydm.bsky.social•197 days ago

The Ted Lasso effect, political edition.

combatcavscout.bsky.social•197 days ago

And, at least more than Republicans, of wives who like their husbands.

reluctantrebel.bsky.social•197 days ago

Feels like you can say this about their children as well, although obviously they're less visible.

sosomanysarahs.bsky.social•198 days ago

All four of those guys actually seem to love their kids, too.

joekatz45.bsky.social•198 days ago

True! Almost like choosing to be married and have kids as opposed to feeling like it's your responsibility to live in a 50s-style nuclear family is a positive

bob belcher masculinity

bruceweinberger.bsky.social•198 days ago

Bob and Linda are probably the best role models for spouses and parents ever on television

youfoundryan.bsky.social•198 days ago

honestly you could say that about a lot of loren bouchard's characters. eg the tillermans from central park

bruceweinberger.bsky.social•198 days ago

I haven’t watched that. But I will!

randymiller.bsky.social•198 days ago

It isn’t a Loren Bouchard show directly but The Great North which he produces and has some of Bob’s Burgers best writers as creators also has a really great antisocial manly man played by Nick Offerman who still exudes positive masculinity

youfoundryan.bsky.social•198 days ago

real life nick offerman is just liberal ron swanson

joekatz45.bsky.social•198 days ago

Oh damn

randymiller.bsky.social•198 days ago

I saw him & his wife Megan Mulally live in conversation with Tig Notaro & her wife Stephanie Allen and it was lovely. Like a great dinner party without having to contribute.

joekatz45.bsky.social•198 days ago

Bob Belcher? Democrat. Jimmy Pesto Sr? LITERALLY STORMED THE CAPITOL ON JANUARY 6TH

youfoundryan.bsky.social•198 days ago

yup. and jimmy pesto clearly hates his closeted kid and the quirky twins

bob actually likes and respects his kids

joekatz45.bsky.social•198 days ago

And Jimmy's divorced!

youfoundryan.bsky.social•198 days ago

and serves shitty food and commits constant osha violations endangering trev

randymiller.bsky.social•198 days ago

As a bisexual genderqueer wife guy Bob (also canonically bisexual) is my role model

youfoundryan.bsky.social•198 days ago

as a baby bi genderquestioning aspiring wife guy bob is also my role model

also his obsession with the perfect thanksgiving feast

randymiller.bsky.social•198 days ago

I love spending all day cooking for people I care about so that’s also a Bob thing I deeply relate to

youfoundryan.bsky.social•198 days ago

just waiting for the episode where bob finally realizes that cooking a turkey in parts is the far superior method

chirp0403.bsky.social•198 days ago

Go Doug!! First mensch in the White House!!

dirk.hohndel.org•198 days ago

Being a wife guy seems like an important value. I certainly try to be one.

tom4okstate.bsky.social•198 days ago

YO, some social scientist needs to come up with a personality inventory for wife guy behavior and then overlay it was political preference. A perfect circle.

seentoomuch.bsky.social•198 days ago

The self depreciating jokes are going to drive them absolutely nuts.

kalidestroyer.bsky.social•198 days ago

They dont understand these jokes.

ninjamonkky.bsky.social•198 days ago

There's, some women, women married to women, men who like men, men married to men, and a lot of in-between, but it's a big tent party, and generally an inclusive umbrella, so sure, WIFE GUYS are definitely welcome here, but I don't think it's THEIR party...

joekatz45.bsky.social•198 days ago

very true

calieber.bsky.social•197 days ago

I think only men who value their wives as people and as equal partners would fit in with people who aren't in relationships built around gender-based inequality

fitforpurpose.bsky.social•198 days ago

Hardly surprising. Every time I look at any prominent right wing politician or pol-op they seem to regard women as breeding stock or political props, or both.

lurks-no-more.bsky.social•198 days ago

The Democrats are the decent, loving, normal people. The Republicans are the creepy toxic weirdos.

sublightmonster.bsky.social•185 days ago

“The lying media call him a wife guy, but what about me? I got the best wives, I got so many wives. I got imported wives, domestic wives, I got live wives, dead wives, side wives, daughter wives, nobody ever talks about that.”

6impossiblethings.bsky.social•197 days ago

Yeah, I was wondering about this last night and thinking Walz and Emhoff could further boost the support of women who wish they had such a hubby.

fwordleproblems.bsky.social•198 days ago

This is our time.

anthrodiva.bsky.social•198 days ago

Yes!

chelmsford.bsky.social•197 days ago

Sounds as though someone should be organizing a “wife guys for Kamala” zoom….

goodfriendvic.bsky.social•196 days ago

And the First First Gentleman!!!

love-blue.bsky.social•197 days ago

I imagine generally respecting women and their rights in society goes a long way towards being a wife guy 😉

amandasmith.bsky.social•198 days ago

It’s weird to see the NBC relationship sitcom vs CBS relationship sitcom dynamic play out again but it’s not the 90s

madamehardy.bsky.social•198 days ago

I have completely forgotten that; what was it?

joekatz45.bsky.social•198 days ago

The millennials are in charge now, everything is the 90s

amandasmith.bsky.social•198 days ago

It’s the Mad About You ticket vs All About Jim

joekatz45.bsky.social•198 days ago

Nice

bpierce.bsky.social•198 days ago

President Harris and First Mensch Emhoff walk into the Oval Office carrying lunch, in the background Murray stands the Resolute Desk. “Huh.” Says the President.

“This is new.” quips the First Mensch.

smullins3000.bsky.social•198 days ago

Deep cut.

amandasmith.bsky.social•198 days ago

My brain is a vast wasteland of vague memories of sitcoms from the 90s and early 2000s.

annaleehq.bsky.social•198 days ago

Party of men who have partnership marriages

Not lord of the castle with their heir ovens

madmay.bsky.social•198 days ago

Ovens? What? And do I want to know? Probably not...

annaleehq.bsky.social•198 days ago

A womb for his crew

Uterus

Bun in oven

madmay.bsky.social•198 days ago

Yeah I was pretty sure, I knew,
and didn't want to....

But its true...

And that makes me wanna spew...

Hahaha... it rhymed, I ran with it...

(Like I do with scissors...)

annaleehq.bsky.social•198 days ago

I reduced the wife to that body part republican men value

phantomcorsair.bsky.social•197 days ago

Heir fryers, surely?

charlescolee.bsky.social•197 days ago

They not only like their wives, Joe - they RESPECT them, and treat them accordingly.

richcollab.bsky.social•198 days ago

They lift their wives.

richcollab.bsky.social•198 days ago

They all value their wives as equals and see them as their better halves.

expendablemudge.bsky.social•197 days ago

Genius

Fun podcast with Jon Favreau about last night's speeches, plus some dish on background.

How can you be a Republican and say you like women?

roudy1.bsky.social•197 days ago

if you look at republicans JD vance wife is a lawyer in california and vance a senator in ohio what is wrong about this???? then when you see trump he is rarely with Melania and when he is she looks so disgusted with him not a party of guys who like women they want to take away womens rights

liberallibra.bsky.social•197 days ago

And vice versa!

wattle.bsky.social•198 days ago

Clinton's a *record scratch*
