All of that is true.
Another thing I've been thinking about is that the lives of young men actually really have become worse over the recent years. We keep denying this reality, but it's true. I can see it just by looking out of my office and see which new interns we get. They're almost exclusively women. When you look at colleges in Europe (but I'm pretty sure it's true in the US too) the vast majority of students are now women.
This isn't an argument against women. It's great that they are now able to attend colleges in mass numbers.
But the world is shifting for young men. They are outeducated and outearned by women. And rather than look at why that is or take measures to improve those aspects for men, the left calls them sexual predators and yaps away about LGBTQ+ rights and how bad life is for women.
I can see why men don't want to vote for that.

There’s multiple articles complaining about and bewildered by the shift of Gen Z men to the right. No shit they are shifting right when they are constantly attacked by the progressive coalition for the crime of just existing. But that was always the danger of the left leaning far too heavily into DEI and all the intersectionality nonsense.
Exactly.
Even the abortion argument was used disingenuously. They keep saying it revolves around sexual freedom. But women don't really need abortion to be sexually free. First of all they have the choice whether or not to have sex. Then they have the choice to use all sorts of anticonception from condoms to birth control pills.
Now do I think it is a good idea to make abortion possible? Yes, I definitely do.
But please stop saying it is about sexual freedom. That just sounds like you want women to be able to screw around without any consequence. It is way too coarse an argument to make to be convincing. Women too can be accountable for the liberties they take. Just like men always are.

Call me an elitist, but I feel less sympathy for the working class when they're whining about our Chinese enemy taking our jobs and buying our farmland when they are surfing Amazon, Walmart, Temu, and Shein to send every US dollar they can to China with everything they buy.
And your proof is?
When I look at data and seek statistical anomalies, what stands out most from that plot is that three different Democrat presidential candidates have the exact same voter turnout when one GOP candidate over 8+ years is all over the map. The question marks should be on that lower dotted line given the ranges just one GOP candidate received.
That's annoying, but it's not the issue. The challenge is that Trump has a disdain for expertise. He appoints former pro wrestlers to lead his transition team and head up the Small Business Association. There's nothing that will prevent him from giving that to a "pillow entrepreneur" this time.
For all the talk about killing DEI in favor of (and Silicon Valley's worship of) meritocracy, his idea of "merit" is a guy who ran security at his garbage truck publicity stunt becoming his next Secretary of Energy.
That chaos extends to policy whims of the day. Some days they are helpful, like "Why do we need a G-7?"
But most of the time they are either odd and an unfeasible distracition ("Let's buy Greenland", let's inject disinfectant to prevent Covid). Or short-sighted (abruptly pulling US forces out of Syria to let American-allied Kurdish forces fall).
Or sheer lunacy: offering to bribe/pay off an Iranian oil tanker captain not to unload on the dock (playing his amateir hand at hostage negotiation after watching a few episodes of Standoff), rolling back post-2008 financial meltdown banking regulations (yay for later Silicon Valley Bank and almost tanking banking two years ago), "Sharpiegate" in having U.S. meteorologists conform hurricane tracking predictions to cover for his own personal ignorance, etc.
That chaos costs the country more than just mean tweets. And it's only going to get worse with his mental decline.

rape victims beg to differ
anyway... it's a lost cause. when you can win a campaign full of misinformation, led by a literal criminal, facts or arguments are useless. we must face that politics became 1-bit sentiment based impulse driven choices that have nothing to do with rationality. in a rational world trump would be in jail and wouldn't be allowed to run to begin with

I hope Trump does what he said he'll do:
- A pardon for himself for any past (and most likely future) crimes.
- No more elections.
- Mass deportations.
- No more vaccines.
- Massive tariffs on all imported goods.
- A weaker dollar.
- Punishment for all those who dare to oppose him.
All of this needs to happen. Preferably as soon as he is sworn in. No time to waste.

I agree, unfortunately we have a similar situation here in the UK where people wanted and voted for change and now it's a shit tonne worse than what it was, but unfortunately whilst I didn't vote for that government we are stuck with it because the people voted for that without really thinking about it. Same with America, unfortunately my fears about America is not the domestic policies, it's what impact Trump will have abroad, whilst he will treat his governance like a fascist dictatorship which for me is scary. It's sad to think that whilst we learn alot about past dictators and how we should learn from our past, yet here we are looking like history is about to repeat itself, and what's worse is that it'll be spearheaded by America.
I think respect for non-college males is a cute theory, but nobody meaningfully gets elected president on that policy.
More to the point: people hate the price increases with Covid-triggered inflation experienced around the world, and someone's head has to roll. That would explain most of this election.
Immigration even comes a distant second to that.
