I have NO idea why men are drawn to Trump…

…and turned off by Obama…

[MtnClimber]

Have Health Secretary Rachel Levine answer that question....

[MNJohnnie]

Hmmm young men, feeling victimized by a political/media/legal system then see Trump subjected to Lawfare by the same political system and the Alt Left doesn’t understand why they might feel a connection to Trump?

Richard Reeves’s 2022 book, “ Of Boys and Men: Why the Modern Male Is Struggling, Why It Matters, and What to Do About It,” told the Guardian he was critical of the Democrats’ inability to talk directly to men about their policy platform.

He pointed to:
<><>poorer educational outcomes
<><>fewer men graduating from college
<><>worsening standardized test scores
<><>worsening mental health, loneliness and suicide crises
<><>the lack of Democrats’ willingness to address them directly.

Now, with Trump’s victory made possible with significant support from
American men, Reeves says he understands why so many chose to vote Republican.

“Masculinity Researcher” is an actual job title?

> he was critical of the Democrats’ inability to talk directly to men

Democrats have no problem talking directly to men, or more accurately, AT them. They just don’t listen to or care what men say in response.

[HereInTheHeartland]

Gosh maybe young men are tired of being constantly demonized and having less qualified people always leapfrog over them.

“Masculinity Researcher” is an actual job title?

To many, masculinity is a mystery...

Just like capitalism is a mystery to socialists and communists.

[Nervous Tick]

I'm surprised that the Dancing Queen Tampon Timmy didn't reel in the men...

[alternatives?]

The women are the ones moving, not the men. More young women are becoming liberal. Fewer men are getting useless degrees, and a greater percentage of men are paying off their college loans than women. We need to reform the college loan program so that colleges are responsible for non-payment of loans.

[odawg]

“So Republicans found success in the idea that the success of women has come at the expense of men.”

Just an example of the kind of lying, stupid reasoning why the democrats lost young men.

[BobL]

Almost 60% of college enrollment is WOMEN, yet something like 90% (guessing) of single-sex scholarships are for women.

The problem is REAL.

[SpaceBar]

The party of faggotry, infantide, and sex surgeries is going to have limited appeal with normal people.

[Grampa Dave]

This was a defining moment of Biden's presidency.

It perfectly captures the entire facade of duplicitous fraud that surrounded the wretched old @sshole.

You bet it does.
