While everyone was focused on abortion and women's issues...

They forgot that every young man was staring down the barrel of a gun with regards to conscription into world war III.

Shocker: Young men don't want to get droned in a muddy trench in eastern Europe.

In these online spaces, Trump was humorous and humanised. And for Gen Z men who consume more news through social media than traditional outlets, he was highly accessible. Suddenly, he wasn’t just a presidential candidate, but a certified “bro” willing to openly discuss cocaine on a podcast.

Trump successfully tapped into the frustrations of these “Lost Boys”. His policies – from mass deportations to curbing diversity initiatives – are framed as solutions to the challenges these men believe they face: competition for jobs and opportunities, the erosion of masculine ideals, and the loss of a once-dominant social order.

Oh, I know the general thought convention of these post mortem articles.

They all miss the fact that all young men were worried about being forced to fight in a global conflict...

Not a single outlet or analyst has mentioned it.

This is an underrated success in my opinion.

I am more proud of the parents of these young men honestly. Thank God.

that. And don't forget- many of them gave up a year of their lives, for many the best year, to Covid. No graduations, proms, first day moving in dorms, sports recruiting, last football games, etc.

They didn't forget who did that to them. And if they'll do that to them, they'll damn sure send them to some shithole to die for Nancy's stocks.

Because at the end of the day, men are still men and have more in common with one another when it comes to that than we have differences with men in other races. Men of all races are tired of this passive aggressive HR crap that has taken over every facet of society. We’re tired of being told we’re terrible people for our biology. We care about equality, but this emotion-driven crap about it being a “woman’s world now” isn’t equality. We’re just average people trying to make a living, have a family, and they make us all out to be this roided up stereotype that just wants to repress women. The only thing “radicalizing” men is that, not some YouTuber telling them they’re getting the raw end of the stick.

I’m sure that was part of it but I think it comes down to 2 main issues

1. They’re tired of being told they’re the root of all problems and that being a regular man is toxic all while watching their quality of life go down and watching their peers fall behind.

2. They’re naturally rebellious at that age and it’s more fun to go against the grain, especially when it causes such epic meltdowns.

Young white men have started to wake up to the fact that their liberal white fathers have condemned them to a new apartheid where being white and male makes you last in line for everything. These young guys will vote Republican the rest of their life and are disgusted by their weak Democrat voting fathers. As they should be.

Number 2 doesn’t ever get talked about. The “resistance” is now firmly rooted in the establishment. The counterculture of the 60’s and onward is now just the culture, the establishment. Rebellious youth aren’t going to buy your “we’re the resistance” line when every corporation and the government is behind and pushing your BS.

My issue with the analysis is that it still, backhandedly, describes their mindset as "bro culture".

What's the female equivalent of that? "bimbo culture"?

Here, lets degrade all of your concerns and ideas, demonize your masculine way of life, all the while expect you to go die in an avoidable war for us.

How Charlie Kirk's 'Brainwashed' Tour Turned Election for Trump

quote:

Charlie Kirk helped influence the outcome of the 2024 presidential election by taking his unabashedly conservative approach to college campuses nationwide, particularly in critical swing states, his reps said Friday.


quote:

Originally scheduled as a four-stop jaunt, Kirk's tour ultimately swelled to 25 colleges, including the University of Wisconsin, Kansas State University and the University of Georgia, where he engaged undergraduates on topics ranging from the economy to immigration to liberal bias in academia.
.

quote:

Some students at the college events frantically tried to grab free "Make America Great Again" hats from Turning Point organizers, Kolvet recalled.

"It was an amazing thing to watch happen," he said. "You'd throw them out into the crowd, and they'd be like wrestling to get their MAGA hat. And so what you'd end up seeing is a sea of red hats, of college kids, of Gen Z kids who were never supposed to be conservatives, they were basically rebelling against a system that told them they weren't allowed to do that."

Kirk's tour allowed some students to have the "courage" to make their conservative political beliefs known, particularly in liberal educational settings, Kolvet said.


quote:

"We're drawing three, four, five thousand people and the media wouldn't touch it," Kirk told Fox News. "And the Kamala people would have, like, a little booth with three or four people, and we would register five hundred, six hundred, seven hundred first-time voters."

Probably tired of being told they are evil all the time for being masculine. Can’t do anything even working out without it being called toxic masculinity. Alienating half the population.

My son is 17 and pretty based. Missed being able to vote by 50 days.

He was happy Trump was in the lead when he went to bed and I asked why because I never pushed my politics on him.

He said because he didn’t want an incompetent woman to send him to war against his will. Whatever Trump didn’t Gen Z will have long lasting effects.

No they weren't.

The US hasn't had a draft in over 50 years, and outside of leftist, the gaslighting media, and a few very concerned people on this board, no one really gives a damn about the foreign "wars" except to the extent they didn't want the US wasting money on them.

The concept of the draft is completely foreign to Gen Z. Thus, they have no actual fear of it nor concern that it could happen...because it was never going to happen. By my count this is about the 35th "start of WWIII" since the end of Vietnam.

The reason Trump won Gen Z men is very simple. It's because they want to be what men have always been...MEN! They don't want to be this feminized group of pussies the left and media desperately wants them to be and tried to portray as the new image of "masculinity". As such, they rejected the party trying to make them be women...or at least bi-curious.
