The Man Card
# A Film About White Male Identity Politics from Nixon to Trump
π Overview:
For years, right-wing politicians and pundits have repeatedly criticized the left for playing βthe race cardβ and βthe woman card.β This new film turns the tables and takes dead aim at the rightβs own longstanding β but rarely discussed β deployment of white-male identity politics in American presidential elections. Ranging from Richard Nixonβs tough-talking, law-and-order campaign in 1968 to Donald Trumpβs hyper-macho revival of the same fear-based appeals in 2020, "The Man Card" shows how the right has mobilized dominant ideas about manhood and enacted a deliberate strategy to frame Democrats and liberals as soft, brand the Republican Party as the party of βreal men,β and position conservatives as defenders of white male power and authority in the face of transformative demographic change and ongoing struggles for racial, gender, and sexual equality.
