40% of women under 30 voted for Trump

[Anonymous]

I didn't realize Biden had put a law in place mandating books and movies be redone and woke!

I thought the capitalist market made what people were willing to buy.

This. I'm flattered when a male co-worker tells me my hair looks nice or my outfit is nice. Those who think that's negative in any way really do need to get a life.

I find it inappropriate.

OMG - I say the same thing to my male coworkers - even guys in elevators...you look sharp today, love that shirt, etc.

Thinking something as benign as that to be inappropriate is what is called "radical feminism" which is a joke. If that is the DNC base then the red wave will continue because that's nuts.

I find it inappropriate to. There's no need to comment on anyone's physical appearance in the workplace.
And if people vote ored for Trump so they could feel flattered by their coworkers complimenting their outfits we e got bigger problems than I thought.

Wow, just wow. Now I know what people mean when we as a nation were on the wrong track. No wonder Trump won. FWIW - I voted for Harris.

But seriously, paying a compliment to people on how they look...generic and benign complimentary comments...is f*ing NORMAL. Damn...I'm mad at you for making me use f*ing in one of my posts because I rarely do so.

Normal compliments...you look nice today, your hair looks nice, I love that color on you, you look sharp, etc.

Not Normal compliment....Wowzer, damn you look good today in those tight jeans.

I often tell the receptionist of my office building that she looks nice.

Signed Harris voter who is 50+ professional working female...but really seriously regretting that vote because of those who think that benign compliments are inappropriate.

What are the issues that attracted them to Trump?

Have a Gen Z DD and I honestly don't know if she voted for Trump, but here's the thing...it's not "one issue" and it's not that they were attracted to "Trump" the person. The DNC continues with denial denial denial. Below are my GenZ DD's views:

Perhaps not 100% stop but definitely reduce military spending (billions!) to Israel and other countries without accountability. Fix the many issues in the US first - put American citizens first.

Stop with the cultural/identity wars. She respects LGBTQ+ but seriously....rewriting/redoing movies and changing characters is getting ridiculous - if you want to be so inclusive create new stories, create new princesses. Don't go back and change things. Also she agreed that the whole gender identity education in schools is going too far and does not at all belong in elementary schools.

Not sure how she feels about deportation, but she does see schools overpopulated and resources stretched.

She does see the increase in crime, first hand! You know...the shoplifting/theft crimes that are not reported at all and therefore don't count in the statistics when DNC says crime is down, how convenient.

My Gen Z High School kid and her friends were rooting for Trump, for these same reasons, even though most of them can't vote yet. The abortion issue was not on the top of their mind. They're at MCPS (and no, not at Damascus or Poolesville or a W school). I know Montgomery County is solid blue but many people I know flipped and voted Republican this year.

+1

All three of my teens were hoping for a Trump win, and most of their friends were as well. Particularly the boys. It is now “cool” to be a Trump supporter- again, especially among the boys. We live in a blue area of a swing state, UMC suburban public school. I posted about this a few weeks ago on another thread and a few moms has similar stories.

Dems should take note.

This. And what's striking is that these kids are not hiding their support for Trump and the support isn't just coming from white kids. Last time, it was considered social suicide to support him. That's not the case anymore.

Social contagion among young people works in all directions. But the pendulum keeps swinging, so don’t get too comfortable.

Agree. A lesson that the Democrats clearly struggle with.

They were cooking it up in the school labs on Tuesdays and Thursdays. M,T, and W were for gender reassignment surgery.

+1 a lot of the complaints I’m seeing are not about the candidates themselves. It’s what the Democratic Party and liberals represent to people. We have entered an era of culture war.

Harris came out and said ""We have to stay woke. Like everybody needs to be woke."

So it was very clear that they support this.

Most of those movies tank and don't do well. That's not the marketplace at work, but out of touch executives and director forcing their agendas. In case you haven't noticed, Hollywood is falling off badly.

Then the directors yell at the audience about how sexist and wrong they are, kind of like Democrats are doing. Ghostbusters remake anyone?

I’m a 50+ Harris voter who finds it extremely disheartening that people finally feel like they have a voice to ask for something - please don’t focus on my looks in a business setting, I’d like to be addressed this way - is just outright dismissed. What’s the harm in trying to listen to and accommodate people with these very minor requests?

But, someone told me on DCUM that empathy was weaponized, that people were obsessed with it. Truly sad. Honestly that is how we got to this place since Trump is the least empathetic politician we’ve had in the history of this country.

Shocker. Of course, anyone who voted for Trump is stupid. I love how that's the go to reason most Dems use to justify why Kamala lost. Go ahead and keep thinking that but don't be shocked when you end up in the same place 4 years from now.

He manipulates his base with lies. That has been the GOP strategy for decades. His policy plans don’t even make sense for helping middle class people. People believe sound bytes taken out of context and that’s how they decide who to vote for.

Did it ever occur to you that his voters realize he's lying but the voted for him anyways because they are just that over the left?

The era started with the whole "defund the police" movement. The era started when LWNJs started looking down on and criticizing anyone who had their son in Boy Scouts...ask me how I know this. The era started when conservatives were told their religious values sucked.

This group should have been a lock-in for Harris. What is the explanation for why such a large percentage of young women voted for Trump?

Sounds like they are compassionate. Off topic, I just listened to an interview of a young, Hispanic Florida Republican congressman by a young, Hispanic Washington Post reporter about why more than expected Hispanics voted for Trump. It struck me that they were very relaxed in their conversation, had young bright voices, did not push an agenda and respectfully listened to each other. Maybe other young people are tired of the ram or in politics and are looking for a fresh approach. According to the young Hispanic people I work with, they seemed to be interested in JD Vance than Trump because he had his family at his convention speech. I was surprised that they had even watched the convention but when I realize how smartly they work, I do not underestimate them.

On her first point, Donald Trump is probably the worst person to put in charge if she wants to stop spending with Israel.

Democrats are not redoing TV shows and movies. That would be TV networks. If there's not an audience for it, they would stop doing it. But I do agree that the over policing of everything by liberals is a bit much.... The pronoun thing is a big one

Are you saying most of the entertainment industry is NOT Democrats?! Have you ever watched one of their award shows

People with conservative views are basically not allowed to speak up or they are ostrasized.

Can you example of what conservative views aren't allowed and who has been ostracized for them?

Is this a serious question? OMG...the entire DNC has their head in the sand. JK Rowling is exhibit A. How about stating that I love watching old John Wayne movies, Gone with the Wind, etc., How about thinking it was stupid to remove Aunt Jemima from syrup. Can I say that?

Hell, I'm forced to add my pronouns on my work email even though doing so makes me feel like a world class idiot. However, I know that if I don't, I will be looked down for it.

Serious question, but how would remembering 2016-2020 be a factor in voting against Trump? The country was doing quite well domestically and international conflicts subsided, despite the insistence that a Trump presidency would bring on WWIII.

LOL, god, you Gaza people are just like the anti trans people. None of these issues were top issues. Enough.

Almost as bad as the joy people. Amy hope of my taking Harris seriously disappeared with her platform plank of joy.
