For David Tasker, an 18-year-old construction worker in Pennsylvania, his top financial priorities are having enough money for gas, dining out and spending on his girlfriend while living at home with his parents.
But he worries about the rising prices he’s seen during his teen years as he’s emerged into an economy experiencing decades-high inflation. For his first election, he said he will be voting for former President Donald Trump with those higher costs and concerns about the wider economy in mind.
“Trump can run America like a business and Kamala would run it as a classroom,” Tasker said. “Trump would care about how Americans can get the most money, how we can care for the most people, and keep America first.”
Young men like Tasker, seen as a solidly Democratic group less than two decades ago, have been shifting further to the right politically as their economic outlook has been on a downward trajectory, especially among those without a college degree, said pollsters and social scientists. While the economy has been a top issue for many voters, it’s been a particularly salient one for young men and one tied into their wider cultural ideals about their place in society and wanting to be a provider for their families.
“The economic and employment picture for younger men without college degrees is significantly worse than previous generations,” said Dan Cox, director of the Survey Center on American Life at the American Enterprise Institute, whose research has focused on young adults. “These sort of traditional norms around masculinity and what it means to be a man and a husband are wrapped up in economic success, and that makes it really, really challenging when their economic outlook is not as bright.”

DEI is killing them as well. Plus, they lose out on the free tuition.
That young man is wise beyond his years. Sending him to college would be a smart investment.
So he can get indoctrinated?
Illegals of the same age get free stuff. And make money under the table to boot, taking those very same construction jobs.
Sending him to collage would only make him stupid. All he would learn is that he is an oppressor. In collage wisdom is considered raisist and homophobic.
Exactly.
Send him to a trade school, preferably one that isn’t woke and has no DEI at all.

Good for Mr. Tasker. He’s on the right track. But he’s only half-correct. Better: Trump can run America like a business and Kamala would run it as a corrupt Soviet dictatorship.
I don’t blame Mr. Tasker for the oversight. The media is doing its usual job of hiding all the flaws in Democrat candidates.
Do you mean they don’t see their highest priority being trans children, Killing babies ,Or paying for illegal immigrants to live here for free?
......“Trump can run America like a business and Kamala would run it as a classroom,” .........
Yeah! A low IQ classroom in which students don’t learn to “reed, rite, or figyur”!
Why not reward people in low paying jobs who actually work? Give them additional money and not reward people who do not work!

That's the "excellent" economy we live in according to the Dems: work full time but still have to live with your parents. You can't even afford to move out out, let alone buy a car and a home and establsh your own family.
I don’t know where you live-but as someone raised in and living in a rural area, I can assure you that that type of young liberal/neurotic woman does not live here. Almost no one-male or female-has facial piercings-small business owners/managers-including me-do not hire folks with those-our customers don’t like it, and they are the ones I please first...
Tats have been pretty common everywhere on everyone, every age for years, but at least here they are small-not tramp stamps-the more elaborate ones are on guys-and no man buns on dudes here either-the young women make fun of them.
Nothing about a European woman is better than a conservative country girl in a red state. Besides-a young guy 18-22 years old who is a working in construction and living with his parents is a long way from having the money to bring a foreign/European woman here on a fiance visa-it is very expensive, even for a guy a bit older with a better income and his own place, and there is always the chance that she will dump/divorce him for greener pastures as soon as she gets a green card...
So he could be trained to do public service!
We still need colleges.
We just have to fix them so that they do what they used to do.
I hate cities and always have-I believe they are unhealthy places-crowded, unsafe, the air stinks of exhaust, and there is light pollution at night and noise 24/7-and then there are the liberals to deal with. My ancestors came from Spain, then left Mexico to farm/ranch in West Texas and NM in the late 1780’s-they were not big fans of the Spanish govt, preferring the frontier. Most of us still live in the country and either ranch/farm, own small trucking/hauling companies, auto mechanic shops, etc.
This county is a tourist area-main source of income is tourists/Summer people in Summer and snowbirds who live here in the Winter-from Nov to April. There are no big boxes-closest thing is Tractor Supply. There are only a few democrats-transplanted city people who have a bad attitude and really aren’t well liked-they sell out and leave in a few years most of the time...
