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.

    Well, I’m not sure why I’d even be running for a nomination to your “Racism Party™”, but I would be pretty unsurprised when I didn’t win.

    You’re the one advocating to run for genocidal far-right jingoist party.

    I don’t understand why you’d have me running in that party in the first place so I don’t know what answer you’re fishing for here.

    You’re intentionally avoiding the point because you know I am right at this point.

    Now you’re just straight up strawmanning.

    You: “vote blue no matter who.”

    Me: “You’re saying we should vote blue no matter.”

    You: “STRAW MAN STRAW MAN”

    When I read your first post here, I saw your line of thought was pretty thin, but there might be something of substance there. I can see what I thought was substance in your post was a mirage. It was a mistake to waste my time engaging with you.

    This is just copium. You have conceded my entire argument. You cannot uphold the position that we should mindlessly “vote blue no matter who,” so you intentionally avoid the point because you know mindlessly voting for genocidal fascists is not a tenable position.

    There is no point of discussing further as you have already conceded my argument but have too big of an ego to admit it.
