      Some very broken little boys out there.

      Unfortunately there are many. And no matter what their interests are, whether it’s sports, video games, or going to the gym, there are right-wing groups who have set up shop to welcome them to their side. They provide them fraternity, an in-group to be part of, share their common interest, and pump a steady stream of misogyny and bigotry to normalize it.

      And it worked.

          Democrats’ outreach to young people has been lectures and telling them they’re too insignificant to care about. What did you expect would happen?

          Meanwhile, Republicans told them validating lies.

        This seems very off to me. Like it’s manufactured. It might be true. But most of the young men I know hate that guy. And all that he stands for. It’s hard to imagine them voting on his side.

          We all have our anecdotal experiences. If you’re a college student or graduate, going to school or working in an urban environment or coastal state, the data may not reflect your lived experience. But this has been the growing trend in national polls for some time now.

          There’s also an increasing generational component to this, as millennials age out of the 18-29 demographic. If you’re a millennial, this shift may feel even more incomprehensible as millennials appear resistant to the typical conservative shift as they’ve aged.

        Well, he is an incel. A lot of that whiney bunch seem to think they are owed sex or something. Explains a lot of creepy winger behavior.

      Nazis like to do a “you think that was a shitty thing to say? That’s nothing! Hold my beer!” kind of thing.

      It seriously explains a ton of their behavior.
