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.

    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.

        No, not even close. Where did you even get Red Scare from? A soviet era propaganda textbook?

        it was a new Pearl Harbor.

        you obviously werent around for the flag waving and sticker epidemic that i was refering to.

    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.

    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

    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.

      I can see that. I’m not a white guy but I’m raising a son. And we’ve gotten to the point where a boy can’t express his needs and feelings, without being told “women have it worse”, add to this the constant talk of men being dangerous, scary, the cause of all ills, and I can see how that would damage a young guy’s self esteem and frustrate him. I have to constantly teach both my son and daughter to value others and don’t judge them for what their entire gender did before they were born. I dunno if that made any sense, but yea it feels like boys just get told to “man up” and deal with it

        I live near a primary school and there are multiple “YES ALL MEN” slogans written on the walls right next door. I wonder what those boys will think about their place in the world when this is what the walls are yelling at them.

          I was molested as a kid and I saw a woman holding a sign online that said “not all men, but ALWAYS a man” which completely ignored people like me who were abused by a woman

          “Remember, kids, blatant, sweeping misandry isn’t bad because painting – no matter how you slice it – literally half of society as rapists and murderers and sex-crazed lunatics whose only thought is for animalistic dominance over anyone standing near them is a lie so big and so dangerous it’d give Trump a run for his money, it’s bad because if a transmasc person reads an ‘all men are bad’ post, they might think it’s about them and be sad, and then you’d be hurting someone we actually care about.”

          It sickens me that these people call themselves feminists. You can fight for trans rights and women’s rights without doing it to the exclusion of everyone else.

    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!

      You don’t become Hitler by not going to art school. You become Hitler by going to art school and getting rejected from it.

      Aaaaand those parents of those Gen Z kids probably said what they said because when they were kids, their parents told them to follow their dreams and do whatever they wanted to do, so they believed them and they went to art school and didn’t work hard, then they got to the recession and lost their job (or never got it in the first place) because their degree was irrelevant for almost any job out there, and then they had to compete and improve in order to get a decent job to make ends meet as they tried their best to raise their little Gen Z kid.

    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.

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

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

    It’s never about gender… Turns out there are good and shitty people regardless of gender, race, religion or whatever else there might be…
