This is not my personal opinion, I know Gen Z men who voted for Harris. But the voter demographics really speak for themselves, and maybe now people will look at the radicalization of young men as a serious (but solvable) issue.

    Many of them are low prospect, so it’s not a surprise. They’re hoping a male supremacy will help them survive financially, but most will still suffer as that’s just how number games work in a callous system. If they’d voted for Harris they’d at least get some benefits while being low prospect

    They went for Trump by 2%. Calm the fuck down. Go after millennial men, we went for Trump by something like 10%.Gen X men went for Trump by 22%. And Boomers were actually better than X at 11%.

    So if you want to go after someone go after Gen Z’s parents.

    I blame social media and algorithms. My teen son for the longest time was leaning further and further right due to the content he was getting served on YouTube. He was making disparaging comments about women and how stupid they are. My wife and I who lean left had to sit down and have a talk with him about what he was saying and videos that he was getting served by YouTube (that popular red pill girl, I can’t remember her name and andrew tate among other red pill stuff). He’s a pretty smart kid, once we showed him data and articles that directly proved all the things he was watching wrong, he started to come around. He’s been careful to believe things that he sees or hears on the internet more now. Occasionally, he’ll bring things to us that we have to double take and fact check to see if it’s wrong.

    Because the democrats haven’t made a serious appeal to them in a decade. We need to turn bell hooks into actionable political messaging.

    the Democrats will just pander to this by getting an endorsement in 2028 from Andrew Tate.

    The only thing you can be absolutely sure of as a liberal white male is that no one likes you or wants to hear from you.

    9/11 was 23 years ago.

    The nationalism that arose implanted itself in the children of that era.

    Those kids are now in the voting booth.

    Gen Z is the Hitler youth because all you parents told them art school is a waste of time and they took that to heart! Clearly it’s important to be hard and the world is about competition and being better than everyone else! You can’t make enough money if you’re not dominant and respected because we pay for leverage instead of value around these parts!

    Wonder if it has anything to do with oligarchs taking over the internet so only a select few sites run by them are popular. It can’t be just like television was to the boomers, no way.
