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.

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?

NP. JK Rowling is saying whatever she wants and plenty of people are still buying her books. She’s not hurting at all. (And I agree with her, fwiw.)

Pretty sure those movies are still available for streaming, no? If you’re afraid to admit to watching them, that’s on you. I love Gone With the Wind and I voted for Harris.

As for syrup, you’re free to stop buying that brand if you don’t like what they did to the label. It’s just brown HFCS in a plastic bottle, though. Who cares?!

I voted for Harris too. But was making my point...deny it all you want but GenZ voters are over the hyper woke/cancel culture. I'm over it too.

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.

You can now. I used to whisper in restaurants when I told a friend I voted for Trump. I am not afraid anymore, nor are a majority of the voters.

The democrats lost to the most unpopular candidate in recent memory. I hope they do some soul searching on why and win moderates back to the party.

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?

Many of them went to middle and high schools where they had to not drink all day so they didn’t have to go to the bathroom, because the bathrooms in their schools aren’t safe.

All politics is personal.

The same lack of consequences that is happening with crime is happening in schools. These decisions aren’t necessarily being made by state or local elected officials, but usually state departments of Ed. It looks bad on principals to have a high suspension rate. I don’t think democrats would have won no matter who was running, people want a cultural shift.

My kid is a senior in college with a very large academic and social circle... a lot of Trump supporters.

I don't think that's the correct analysis.

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.

I get it. But I attribute most of hyper woke/cancel culture stuff to social media, not to who’s in the White House. People like Musk are making billions on it. They don’t actually want to see it go away. They need it, because the polarity and the anger are all that matter.

College students self select into groups also especially in large schools. The frat bro experience and circle will be much different than a theater kid or minorities that stick to cultural groups.

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.

In 1994, it became somewhat "cool" for teenagers to be conservative.

This was the "Republican Revolution" election that brought Newt Gingrich into power.

In 1996, Clinton won reelection in a landslide by moving to the center.

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