Why are younger men so right wing?

My son is 32 and just told me he voted for Trump three times. I’m embarrassed and feel like a failure. We raised him in a liberal environment and now he’s become radicalized
He’s not even your stereotypical trump voter or whatever. Good job in coastal city, just got engaged, owns a house, many friends. But he’s gone down this rabbit hole of right wing politics and it leaves me baffled |

| Perhaps your son likes racism and misogyny and xenophobia and transphobia. |

| The left has nothing for him but blame. |

| Because thank God young people have more common sense these days ! Your son is clearly smart and has the ability to think critically, yet chose to be a conservative. |

Not blame? Does it have to be anything more than that? |

| It's sounds like you raised him without accountability and with entitlement and babying him |

| In recent years, Democrats really went out of their way to ostracize and demonize young straight white men. It's not a surprise some turned toward the Republican Party. The Democratic Party is a very little tent these days. |

I suspect you didn't raise him in that much of a liberal environment. UMC environment where everything was handed to him? Did you pay for college? What kind of exposure did have to the poor or minorities growing up?
Once he hit the real and had to start doing things for himself, he got mad. And Trump gave him people to blame. |

They can’t be. They have actively villainized masculinity for the better part of two decades. And if—as the lefts tells you all day long — “representation matters” then it might be a good idea of someone on the left would start realizing that demonizing masculine traits in men makes men who have those natural traits feel undervalued and marginalized by what is supposed to be their own party. Try naming five examples of a masculine democrat male leader in n politics and you’ll see what I mean. Young men feel abandoned by the left. It’s not that difficult to decipher. But instead you’d rather demonize him or infantilize him by imagining that he’s gone crazy or is ignorant. He is neither. He just doesn’t buy into hating himself for having natural male traits like ambition, competitiveness, and physical strength. He also might like the idea that one should be rewarded for his own work output capitalist model of America that the left seems to abhor right now. |

He is now a "victim." Aka women don't fall at his feet. If he was getting sex regularly he wouldn't be whining |
