Young men may be drawn to Trump because he pushes against societal pressure that men need to be apologetic for being themselves.
“Not being apologetic for being [myself]” is why I’m voting for Harris. I swear that conservatives want everyone to fit into confining, pre-defined boxes for everything. I found that among conservatives, I’ve always had to “apologize” for not being hyper-masculine and interested in “softer” and “feminine” things.
If someone is very masculine, that’s cool, too. No one is saying that you can’t be hyper-masculine if that’s what you’re into. BUT if you constantly are apologizing for “being yourself,” maybe you’re just an asshole trying to hide behind masculinity.
Im a guy, not a man and I’m voting for Harris
Being a “man” sounds boring and lame as fuck. So I’m just some guy now. It comes with way less pre conceived notions about gender role and allows me to be a lazy bitch. So I renounce my man card as that shit is hella gay
Meh. I’m a white cis man who voted for Harris. Fuck labels and preconceived notions of manliness.
10-4, over and out
This article completely misses the mass radicalization young men have been exposed to through the internet. Growing up inundated by quotes from Andrew Tate and Jordan Peterson can really fuck you up.
We absolutely must address how dangerous the internet is to our society. I think we as a species simply can’t handle the destructive potential of the internet (and ditto for News bubbles like Fox).
I think we’ve designed an environment that works assuming everyone is a rational person who can separate bullshit from real information and, unfortunately, a lot of people (young and adults) simply do not meet that requirement or don’t have the inclination to do so.
Not so much “the internet,” as the handful of corporations that we have allowed to run rampant for 20 years. The internet used to be great.
Yep, there’s a reason youth violence has gone through the roof: “conservative values”, ie. violence, narcissism, sadism and a complete lack of empathy.

Marshall McLuhan argued similarly in the 1960’s about the dangers of rushing forward with mass media, and stipulated that we had yet to understand the cultural impacts of language and writing, let alone (at the time) new media like telephones, radio, and television.
Traditionally humans have rushed headlong into any and all new communications methods without considering long-term consequences first, and study comes much later, if at all.
I guess that shit only missed me because I am gay? Like… I was radicalized by Hitchens and Dawkins before he went all terf.
Can we take a moment to address this guy’s look? He’s got the red hat but it’s more like a red visor with “blond” hair on top. Is that his real hair or just a tRump wig connected to that hat. His weird mustache is a different color than both his top and bottom hair sections. And of course the U.S.A. flag shades.
This guy thought to himself… “Yes, I want to go out in public looking like this.”
I don’t think this guy thinks about anything a whole lot
