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.

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

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 3 hours ago

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.

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.

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

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!

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

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.

We have an oscillating Hitler effect.

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.

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

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.

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
