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.
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.
FIND THE MINORITY AND BLAME THEM
anti fascist party
This really was the year that Dems took the mask off huh. They can act as smug and superior as they want; they don't realize they're exactly as stupid and gullible as Trump supporters. The only difference is that their parents voted Dem so they get to think of themselves as a "good liberal."
If you're blaming minorities for not voting for a party that supports their ongoing genocide, then you are Blue MAGA. It's not even a joke anymore, they will unironically tell you to shut up and fall in line to try and fight fascism.
blaming one demographic or another is incredibly stupid. america as a whole voted for trump, dude won the popular vote. the majority wanted this
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.
Would have been more than 11% but Trump killed a bunch of them off the first time around with COVID.
Gen X men went for Trump by 22%
"They won't be able to ignore us, now! Now everyone will remember Generation X!"
Ugh, I hate that I laughed.
I think Harris had a 2 point lead among male voters age 18 - 29. Where is the 2% stat from, I would like to learn more (if it's convenient to share).
NBC exit polling, link
ah, maybe I had it backwards, maybe it was a 2 point lead that Trump had over Harris? Anyway, thank you so much for the link, that's really helpful!
I see it, age by gender.
At least my Grandfather has my back in that 65+ region.
Yeah, and aren't like half of them still too young to vote?
Most of them are old enough now. Gen A is the majority of children.
Gen Z is 1997-2012, so a lot of them are still in middle school and high school.
So a 9/6 split according to that. I've also heard 1995, but regardless, the majority are of voting age.
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.
9/11 is the new Red Scare?
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.
Exactly why we nixed youtube at my house. It's a right wing disinformation machine. A shame because there are some genuinely good content creators on that platform. My kids are younger, but their attitudes get out of whack when they watched YT. Fuck that platform.
I feel like any social media platform you start a fresh new account on has a built in right leaning bias unfortunately. Then on top of that rural am radio is mostly GOP talking points.
Alienation caused by economics
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marx%27s_theory_of_alienation
Fascists have a message for them, the liberals don't because they are committed to the current economic and political system
Because they're young and naive enough to be fooled by a conman who made impossible promises that will never be fulfilled
So glad that doesn't happen with the older ones
Because the democrats haven't made a serious appeal to them in a decade. We need to turn bell hooks into actionable political messaging.
Well go ahead, what's the messaging/appeal that would have swung the Hitler youth away from Hitler?
Because they're being indoctrinated by Kick streamers like I was by YouTubers in 2015. It's so disappointing to see the same shit that ruined me for years ruin them.
the Democrats will just pander to this by getting an endorsement in 2028 from Andrew Tate.
It's never about gender.. Turns out there are good and shitty people regardless of gender, race, religion or whatever else there might be..
Stop taking it personally, snowflake, with your #notallmen, this is literally a demographics conversation. For most of our lives the next generation was less and less likely to fall for conservative hate and now we have Hitler youth coming down the pipe...it's a real shocker.
