Collin Mertz, a 23-year-old farmer in North Dakota, believes American men like himself have been targeted by liberals in the push for diversity.
“It would seem the white male is the enemy of the left,” said Mertz, who voted for former President Donald Trump in 2020 and plans to do so again in November.
***The forces of American culture and politics are pushing men and women under age 30 into opposing camps, creating a new fault line in the electorate and adding an unexpected wild card into the 2024 presidential election.
Voters under 30 have been a pillar of the Democratic coalition since Ronald Reagan left office in 1989. That pillar is showing cracks, with young men defecting from the party.
***Before President Biden ended his candidacy this month, Trump was winning support from a majority of men under age 30, according to a merger of Wall Street Journal polls in February and July. If that holds until Election Day, Republicans would win young men for the first time in more than two decades, voter exit polls show.
Young men backed Trump over Biden by 14 points in the merged Journal polls this year, a substantial swing from 2020. In that election, they supported Biden by 15 points...Young women in the Journal surveys backed Biden by 30 points and Democratic control of Congress by 34 points, essentially unchanged from 2020.
The gender gap extends to opposing views of abortion, student-loan forgiveness and other issues affecting the lives of young adults.
The question now is whether Harris, the expected Democratic nominee, will recapture the support of young men or push more of them away. Harris’s candidacy removes Biden’s age, 81, as a voter concern and instead spotlights social, economic and policy issues driving young men and women apart.

Young white women are already pitting themselves against white men without any help, thank you very much.
Also Vance crapping on single white guys is not helping Trump either.
What do you mean?
My first apartment was in a four-family apartment building.
Childless cat ladies occupied three of the apartments, and I occupied the fourth.
The building always smelled of stale urine.
I can tell from the fellow’s shirt that he is one of those traditionally minded Catholics the FBI regards as terrorists. I’m a little surprised that the WSJ featured him. There aren’t all that many of us . . . yet.

When did she say this little nugget?
Women vs. men. White vs. black. Parents vs. children. Cultural Marxism’s master plan.
As California Attorney General in 2014 at a “Afternoons with Ernie” community meeting in San Francisco.
Nick Fuentes and a few other nuts have popped a critical vessel because his wife is Indian and his kid is named Vivek.
So Vance said ““Look, I love my wife so much. I love her because she’s who she is,” he told host Megyn Kelly on her show Friday. “Obviously, she’s not a white person, and we’ve been accused, attacked by some white supremacists over that. But I just, I love Usha.”
So that means he is crapping on white single guys for not supporting Fuentes attack on his wife... or something like that.
I don’t reach the same conclusion from his comment. It definitely wasn’t a slap at all young white single men, that’s for sure.
Precisely why Trump picked JD Vance.
He’s not trying to reach out to everyone. He’s laser focused on his base of young white men without college degrees.
Nick Fuentes is a barely closeted, Hamas-supporting homosexual who has since shown his true colors as an unhinged nutjob.
Nick Fuentes is just another racist slimeball like Richard Spencer and David Duke.
Did not catch that from J.D.
Add in immigrants vs citizens and Christians vs mooselimbs and you have a recipe for disaster.
Why?
Because close to 50% of those voters are non-white.
Young Black women vote 95% Democrat.
Young Black males vote 80%-85% Democrat.
Young Hispanics vote 65%-70% Democrat.
Young white males vote 55%-60% Republican.
Young white females vote 45%-50% Republican.
If Trump can move the needle 2%-3% in his direction, that will be helpful, but probably the most anyone can hope for.
Nothing “forces” anyone.
Women by default are far more liberal than men. The only time women as a demographic get more conservative is when they are with a man. And therefore don’t want society and others taking their man’s resources away from them.
Its because they are raised not to be independent, responsible for themselves, and accountable. And before anyone says plenty of guys now are like this, I say they are exactly the same example of what women are raised to be today, yet you’re fine with women being this way, only men you cannot stomach to be this way. What you abhor in men acting like women today, I abhor in women acting this way. The only difference is society is built to help and take care of such women and make excuses for them, but not so, the men.
They benefit from their husband's resources so basically that's the only reason for them to be conservative.
