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.

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!

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.

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

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.

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

[+] Showroom7561@lemmy.ca -7 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

How do you “appeal” to future domestic terrorists when they believe it's their calling to tear down everything good in society?

I'm not trying to be sarcastic or dramatic, but they are drawn to Trump because he embodies all the horrible things they aspire to become.

How can a political party that speaks of equality and justice even possibly make a connection with them? It sounds nice, but how would it happen without making your current base feel like you only want to help the worst behaved?

Offer them a life that's better than the one leading them down that path. It's the same way any terrorism is dealt with if you want it to actually have an effect.

Offer them a life that’s better than the one leading them down that path.

My dude, Democrats actually do offer a life that's better for everyone, but that's the problem.

These people don't want other people to live better lives, they only want a better life for themselves. And the only way to get there is to quite literally either kill other people or make their lives unlivable.

Someone who's willing to die or be put in jail "to stop the jews" or whatever bullshit they subscribe to, doesn't give a damn about universal healthcare or a woman's reproductive rights.

On the flip side, they aren't voting for a guy who will improve their lives (not in the way you and I would view as an improved life). They are voting for a guy who will make OTHER PEOPLE'S LIVES miserable. Because that's how their world view works.

Unless you want Democrats to do the same, they are on completely different wavelengths.

I wish I was wrong.

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

[–] merthyr1831@lemmy.ml 22 points 9 hours ago (2 children)

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

[–] sigmaklimgrindset@sopuli.xyz 12 points 7 hours ago

My friend, do not speak this into existence 😭

[–] P00ptart@lemmy.world 5 points 6 hours ago

Lmao there won't be elections in 2028.

[–] josefo@leminal.space 13 points 9 hours ago
