| I keep reading that Trump is making big inroads with young male voters. Has anyone seen their DS move rightward politically in the last year? Not really talking about conservative families who still vote conservative - but left-leaning families where the child is staking out a different position from the family. If so, what was the deciding issue or issues for them? |
| The best time for men to make mistakes is when they are young. Men learn through mistakes and grow. If Gen Z boys vote for Trump ( I think it's a mistake for them to do so) they will be fine. We can't fault young people who arent fully mature yet. |

Convert means they were something before. Actually, both my cousins are voting Trump. One is 19, the other is 21. Girl and boy.
Biden and Democrats have done nothing to tackle affordable educatation and student loan debt, they don't like the crime increase in cities, don't like inflation, and are concerned about the numbers of undocumented migrants coming into the country. They had no idea who random kids would be who'd show up in schools in their classes during some years and then completely disappear the next year. Supposedly one of the guys who was a sophomore in high school with them admitted to being something like a 23 year old guy. He could get in because he had no verifiable identity. |

Teen son is voting for Trump.
Socialism does not work. |
Canned MAGA talking points. |
|
Nope. |
Agreed. Sounds like a fake anecdote. |
Yes!!!!! |
| No way. If anything this has pushed my DS more to the left. He’s very concerned about chaos, instability, the decline of democracy, and normalizing sexual assault. |
| The rainbow flag ads for military recruiting really pushed some over the line. |
|
Converting? What is this, a religious discussion?
I didn’t ask my kid how he voted but I did insist that he vote. |
|
This is only happening among those teens who aren’t achieving.
The highest achievers are doing as they always have. The ones who are more middle of the road are the ones who are susceptible to the language of grievance. |
Citation? |
Like to recruit soldiers like my gay relative who serves in the military? Crap on their service all you want but they will still fight to defend this country. That is their duty. |
This surprises me. I thought this generation was totally past LGBT issues. |
