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.

I think next election this starts to become an issue.

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

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?

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.

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.

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

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.

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?
