At "Evryman," a weekend getaway in the Berkshires of Massachusetts, around 50 men gather to open up about struggles that men often bury — like loneliness.

"As men, we've traditionally been put in a box and given a very small range to express our emotions. There are a lot of men walking around, not necessarily overtly a loner, but feeling very lonely," Krump said.

Roughly 1 in 7 men say they have no close friends, according to data from the Survey Center on American Life.

"What men are really looking for is to belong. They want to be part of something," Krump said.

I think this "loneliness epidemic" is affecting the politics of this country--pushing us in the wrong direction. Is it possible (or even worth it) for Democrats to step into this space and make a difference? Or has maga already won these guys over?
