[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]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. [/quote]

This is my 22-year old son.  He's voting for Trump for economic and immigration reasons primarily.  (He's got a good paying job after graduating from college last May).  We spend a lot of time talking politics, but I can't seem to budge him off Trump.  He tells me "[b]why would I vote for a party [the Democratic Party] that hates me.[/b]"[/quote]

The current US president is a white male. All but one Dem US president have been white males. The current Dem VP candidate is a white male. In 2021, white men were 30% of the population, but 62% of office holders. While GOP is basically all white males, the Dems are still skewed heavily toward white males. How does he figure the party hates him?

"Democratic candidates, on the other hand, were 44% women and 32% people of color – still shy of a one-to-one match with the country’s overall demographics, but far more inclusive than the GOP’s virtual erasure of entire communities."

What demographic is missing from the DNC platform? I don't see dem politicans going for the white dude. I don't see the GOP explicitly mentioning white men in particular either despite making up much of their voting base.

It's like they're invisible from party platforms because some how associating with a white dude makes you racist or something.  It's really really wierd.[/quote]
