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.

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

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!

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.

Would have been more than 11% but Trump killed a bunch of them off the first time around with COVID.

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).

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.

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

Yeah, and aren't like half of them still too young to vote?

[โ€“] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Most of them are old enough now. Gen A is the majority of children.

[โ€“] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Gen Z is 1997-2012, so a lot of them are still in middle school and high school.

[โ€“] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

So a 9/6 split according to that. I've also heard 1995, but regardless, the majority are of voting age.

[โ€“] [email protected] 18 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Gen X men went for Trump by 22%

"They won't be able to ignore us, now! Now everyone will remember Generation X!"

[โ€“] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago

Ugh, I hate that I laughed.

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