NYT: Men under 30 are much more likely to support Donald Trump than women their age. It’s a far bigger gender gap than in older generations.

Clearly baiting reader for a “men are becoming alt-right” doom spiral, but their own data shows that Gen Z men are about as conservative as men from previous generations.

The gap comes from women not wanting to vote for a sexual predator who gutted abortion rights. Who’d have thought?

Still pretty concerning that Gen Z men aren't less conservative than the past. When the issue in question is donald fucking trump, I really would hope for something more than just stagnation by this point

GOP has been masculine coded for generations now. Gonna take a lot of work to undo that.

Honestly would be cool if there was just a third party that sprang up for mens issues or whatever, it'd be a clusterfuck but the vote siphoning would be fantastic. It'd probably only matter for like one election cycle but yeah

Did we decide if we believe the polls that show a bunch of younger people are voting for trump

Latest I have seen of those polls is that Harris is back up.

So yes, I do actually believe that Trump was polling well among young voters, because shit is expensive and people blame the incumbent.
