Economic concerns and growing disenchantment with both parties is draining support for Trump among Gen Z young men, a key bloc of support during the 2024 election
Male Gen Z voters are breaking with Donald Trump and the Republican party at large, recent polls show, less than a year after this same cohort defied convention and made a surprise shift right, helping Trump win the 2024 election.
Taken with wider polling suggesting Democrats will lead in the midterms, the findings on young men spell serious trouble for the Republican Party in 2026.
Younger Gen Z men, those born between 2002 and 2007, may be even more anti-Trump, according to October research from YouGov and the Young Men’s Research Project, a potential sign that their time living through the social upheavals of the Covid pandemic and not being political aware during the first Trump administration may be shaping their experience.

You could edit this very lightly and actually distribute it in conservative spaces and people would connect with it.
“Why yes, I think the tax money I pay should go towards social safety nets in case I or my grandma gets sick and can’t work.”
“Why yes, I don’t think getting sick should make me have to close down my business and sell my house to CHINA.”
“Why yes, I think people should just enjoy whatever they wanna do with each other in the privacy of their own homes, I don’t need government shoving it down my throat every day or making LAWS about what people do with their genitals.”
“Why yes, I also think adults should be able to drink or smoke what they want, lets tax it and use that money for better border security!”
"Why yes, I am sick of rich fucks deciding what I can and can’t do, I value my FREEDOM and no one person should have so much money that they can decide MY future. Tax them and put that money towards [insert right-wing fear thing here.]
Then end it with. “That’s all I want as a FREEDOM LOVING AMERICAN, so why are so many people trying to make this an argument? Why are rich people trying to make the things we agree on into politics? KEEP POLITICS OUT OF MY FREEDOM”
Yes it’s kinda dumb, but I think I’m actually going to make the thing and distribute it.
Do it! And show us when you do!
Go for it, Brother! The Left needs to enthusiastically embrace propaganda in all its forms. That’s the ONLY reason that the Right has the power they do. They certainly didn’t gain power by telling everyone how they intend to enslave and oppress us, as they gleefully luxuriate in their open corruption.
With the exception of maybe lgbt rights and saying that they will raise taxes on the wealthy (but not actually doing anything meaningful, lip service only) what American politician of any party supports these positions?
Also fwiw ubi ultimately is just a pittance to allow flawed power structures to be maintained. It’s a stopgap measure that keeps people like bezos and musk around but just softens their power, for now. “Give the peasants their meager wages so they’ll shut up” kind of thing. True equity means wrestling control of the means of production to workers to mitigate the power of those oligarchs for future generations, and not just until they decide UBI would be something that’s annoying to pay for
It’s one election away. The workers have the power to change it now and for future generations. Actually it’s the last time they will have that power. Once general AI exists that power will be gone forever.
Valid. We haven’t lost yet, but they are trying to convince us that it is all over. We need to dissuade them of that opinion. Ruthlessly. Mercilessly.
We have to dissuade us of that opinion. Enduringly. With compassion.
True, that’s Step 1, which is why I’m speaking out these days. We have to have our people fully mobilized by Election Day, and demoralize the MAGAs at the same time. We might not be able to convince them to vote for a Democrat, but maybe we can persuade them to not vote at all for pedophiles and criminals, which is the next best thing.
I don’t get it. Did Biden support those? Are we talking American right wing or European right wing?
They both serve the same Sociopathic Oligarch bosses, but just like your workplace, some managers are cool, and some are total assholes.
But if you want a new system, you need get rid of both managers, because just because one is somewhat better than the other, the ultimate goal to enslave and oppress is the same.
We either need to force the managers to serve us, out of fear, if necessary, or we will bypass the “managers,” and deal with the problem at the source.
And they won’t like that at all.
It reads to me like it’s meant to take down the “the left wing in America is still right wing in most of the civilized world” assumption that’s buried within the political alignment graph.
And I think there’s also a potential disconnect where one party could be thinking “american democrats = right wing” while the other is hearing “individual leftists in america = right wing” which world be a lot more likely to elicit a response.
