You don't need to kiss ass to these people. They're not worth your pandering. They are literally dying out. They are either too old to reproduce or, like Mike Naso, too repulsive to reproduce. Their beliefs will die with them.
The biggest problem with many of these men is that they just assume they are educated and intelligent. On the whole, every Opinionated Book Skimmer I've ever met has been apart of the prestigious white middle class male demo.
But I repeat: They're dying out. You don't need to figure out how to bring them into the fold. Nonwhites and women have a lot more to prove when they seek an education and as a result they learn more on the whole. Educated women also control the reproduction of the species. Keep these more educated voters in your circle and forget about the rest.
You can still help them with policies, but don't let them dictate to you what needs to be done because they don't hold any power anymore and they don't actually know anything anyway.
Right on. These are people, whatever percentage of the country they are, who will vote Republican no matter what, who believe that they are victims, and that they are entitled to run the country and have all its advantages. . . It's not the Democrats job to convince these people - you'll never convince them to take responsibility to better themselves or care about anyone else.
