Why are younger men so right wing?

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

Has he been with his fiancee for a while or did he have trouble dating before meeting her? Have you noticed a sudden interest in the gym/increase in muscle mass at any point in the past few years?

He is now a "victim."

Aka women don't fall at his feet.

If he was getting sex regularly he wouldn't be whining

+1. That's usually the case. Sexually unsuccessful. Feels rejected/overlooked, because they are.

I agree with you 1000%. This narrative on the left is similar to the childless cat ladies narrative on the right.

He’s not fooled by all the fake news on ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, MSWhatever.

Who cares?

OP's son deserves what he gets

Which is nothing, unless he's a billionaire

He's going to get nothing and deserves it because he's stupid

This. Many people are just dumb suckers who believe the RWNJ propaganda. They don't think, they are all amygdala.

How so exactly? We are late 30’s (so not “young”) and DH does not feel ostracized. He has know idea why other white men like Trump.

Yes I hear this a lot. And I too would like to know how young men were ostracized?

Was it:
-By sharing educational and employment opportunties?
-Asking them to keep their dicks in their pants and hands to themself, unless asked to do so otherwise?
-keep their catcalls and misogynistic comments to themselves and treat people fairly? (I could tell you stories just in the last 20 years of things said to me by men IN THE WORKPLACE that would make your toes curl.)

So, do tell?

They can't. They call telling men to be responsible for their own behavior and to behave like kind and decent human beings "ostracizing" and "demonizing". It's whining, frankly, and we should not have any tolerance for it.

Well, yes. In fact that's what most of the voters who voted for Trump "bought." Not to mention the fact that Trump explicitly ran on not being involved in foreign wars.

Someone who really hated men would tell them never to change or grow. They’d tell them that they’re animals who can’t help forcing themselves on women. They’d convince young men that the ideal relationship is a cold, transactional power struggle and no one will ever truly love them. They’d tell them their only value is in sleeping around and using and discarding teenage virgins. They’d tell them college is for losers. They’d make them feel constantly insecure and unworthy by calling them betas and cucks and low value. They’d whip up unrealistic standards and anger at women, undermining the ability of young men to form stable, adult relationships.

Someone like, say…the hundreds of internet manosphere grifters peddling this cynical, dead end vision to young men.

It seems many men are hearing 'you hate men' though. If they're not receiving the correct message, perhaps adjust it, instead of insisting they're stupid or whatever. Otherwise, you're just writing this demographic off as a lost cause.

No, it’s on young men to acquire critical thinking skills and learn to distinguish between reality and confirmation bias. Stop asking everyone else to do the hard work for them. No amount of “message adjusting” is going to counter the propaganda they hear daily from people who don’t have their best interests at heart.

Why are you so stubborn over this one nuance? If your message is not being communicated clearly then you need to adjust the messaging. Grow up and help your community or at least else get out of the way of the rest of us.
