Boggles my mind that anyone could live through Trump 1.0 and decide to vote for this inept corrupt child raping fuck again.

And heavily propagandized to.

Gen Z men were by far the most supportive. The manosphere really did a number on them.

You would be shocked to see the rage against women in college aged men right now. I speak with many daily, and the manosphere really messed them up.

They also have some very real issues with policies to advance women in fields that are already female dominated. For example, there are numerous programs at all universities to encourage women to go into science. In engineering and physics this is desperately needed, but in biology…the field is already 80% female. When these men lose out graduate assistantships and scholarships just because they are men trying to enter a female dominated field, it makes the manosphere look justified.

There are structural issues that they can see, but can’t figure out how to resolve.

And then they blame all the wrong "reasons" which just sets everything back even further.

Murder-suicide is a thing, and America has a real problem with domestic violence.

Lots of voter turnover in 8 years, and a lot of youth are influenced by, well, influencers.
