Young men in the US used to lean left. Could they now hand Trump the presidency?

Until now, twentysomething voters were a thorn in Donald Trump’s side, opposing him robustly in previous elections and making their resistance corporeal as leaders in the Women’s March, Black Lives Matter protests and climate movement. Yet recent election polls suggest that while young women remain committed to the cause, there has been a tremulous withdrawal from young men.

In 2016, 51% of young men identified with or leaned toward the Democratic party. By last year, it was down to 39%. Young men now favor Republican control of Congress and their support for Trump has grown since 2020.

The ex-president is courting a demographic drifting away from the Democrats. What’s driving the widening gender gap among young people?

I have a theory. Many young men are watching their opportunities for good jobs, families and homes circle the drain, while they sit in their mom's basements playing video games. They're tired of it. And even though young women remain committed to the (lost) cause, they probably don't want to be involved with a bunch of broke, unemployed pro-palestine abortion activists.

It could also be that these guys are looking at the current foreign policy shit show and not looking forward to basic training at Ft. Leonard Wood, followed by a combat tour in some islamic sandbox, an Asian jungle, or a frozen trench in putin's next NATO victim. Sound far-fetched? Checkout the military recruiting statistics for the past few years.

Much more likely, they have simply matured. They are young, and young people make mistakes. To paraphrase a famous quote that I will not attempt to attribute, "If you’re not a socialist before you’re twenty-five, you have no heart; if you are a socialist after twenty-five, you have no head."

They have found out that women prefer real men who are not woke soy boys.
 
Young men tend to be stupid, impulsive and immature.

I felt that way when I was one of them, which is why I mostly had older friends.

Or at least I liked my older friends better than the younger ones closer to my age.

I always felt they were mostly assholes.

If young men gravitate towards Trump, those are the main reasons why.

All that BS about lack of opportunities is crap.

There are plenty of opportunities out there for those willing to make sacrifices.

And not expect to have everything they want right away.

Young people in general today seem to think that way.

Your theory is based upon your political bias and holier-than-thou feelings of superiority that I found contemptuous, pretentious, and insulting in every way.

So, in my opinion, your hubris and arrogance COULD BE getting in way of you ever being able to assess things accurately, fairly, or responsibly- LIKE DONALD TRUMP FOR EXAMPLE.

When I said, "COULD BE", that in itself means I was merely suggesting a THEORY!

What part of "COULD BE" do you not understand?
