Trump mugged the whole darn country. Worst president ever and my sons will not support him.

Young people are going to start looking at the deficit and debt soon. We are now spending close to 20% of revenues on interest… passing defense. Yes, folks. The party is over.

I think next election this starts to become an issue.

No, both my boys are for Harris.

He said he’d been following the trial and lawsuits and was surprised and horrified. He wouldn’t have voted for him anyway since he voted blue in 2022, but I was surprised he was following it.

Are you saying that felons shouldn't be able to run for political office?

If you are permanently disenfranchised as a felon in certain states, then yes, I believe a felon should not be able to be on a ballot in those states. Ergo, if you couldn't vote for yourself if you lived in a certain state, you shouldn't be on a ballot there. Trump hasn't talked about the issue, so I guess he only cares about himself.

GenZ boys/men are actually for being tough on violent criminals. Progressives are losing that generation of men because of their soft on violent people policies. And that includes blacks and hispanics.

The criminal that Gen Z males are going to be tough in is Trump. He literally is a criminal. So they are voting for the prosecutor who actually has a record of fighting crime.

The other guy is a schoolteacher. Son says both of them claimed to be Independent in 2020 but did not vote. The election came up and they both promised my son that they are voting for Harris. The concerns they cited are the bullying of trans and gay people and Trump's record of bold face lying and the fact that he's a convicted felon. The teacher is already married, and the IT guy is engaged. My son voted a straight D ticket in Arlington last week. He was a Bernie Bro in 2016 but voted for Clinton. He said he has avoided talking politics with most of his back home friends. We live in a red county.

I have to wonder about married and soon to be married men being worried about the bullying of trans people, over the bullying of women, as their top issue. Those women should run, fast.

Married men don’t want to watch their wives die of preventable infections or hold their doomed child as it suffocates horribly in their arms. Weird to find that is news for you.

Is that why men start all the wars?

Kamala Harris and Liz Cheney in government. What can go wrong?

Trump in government = chaos and a threat to our national security, per many in the intelligence community and generals.

Would you describe them as experts?

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?

My Gen Z convinced their Gen Z partner to vote Harris.

Many of today's young men grew up during the excesses of the 2010s, when woke/SJW/cancelling was especially toxic.

They don't have a memory of a time when liberals were the live-and-let-live guys and conservatives were mostly right-wing religious types.

A candidate who eggs on your father’s murder isn’t likely to win a boy’s heart.

And he thought the grab ‘em by the pu$$y was mind boggling. “How, Mom? How could anyone think that wasn’t totally disqualifying?”

Ill take things that never happened for $500

Wait, what? You think journalists don’t have 18 year old sons who don’t like people threatening their parents? I assure you my son is very real, as is my husband.

My husband was not covering that rally. He has, however, been branded an “enemy of the people” by Trump. You want to attract Gen Z? Don’t f’ing encourage sexual and physical assault. Gen Z doesn’t like that shit.

Mine too! I’m very proud of him.

Well then don’t vote for Trump unless you want a larger deficit.

We don't discuss who is voting for who in our household very much because we respect everyone's right to vote for whomever they wish. FWIW DH is voting Trump and I'm voting Harris.

I suspect my GenZ son will be voting for Trump based on our conversations. He is a college educated professional dating a beautiful young lady. Not sure if they even talk politics or whether she has any influence on him or how he votes (and honestly I don't know her well enough to know which way she leans). Either way, I respect his vote and if he votes for Trump I honestly understand where he's coming and respect his choice.

I am certainly not going to disown my son just because he votes for Trump.

What does him dating a beautiful young lady have to do with anything?
