Unfortunately there are many. And no matter what their interests are, whether it’s sports, video games, or going to the gym, there are right-wing groups who have set up shop to welcome them to their side. They provide them fraternity, an in-group to be part of, share their common interest, and pump a steady stream of misogyny and bigotry to normalize it.
This seems very off to me. Like it’s manufactured. It might be true. But most of the young men I know hate that guy. And all that he stands for. It’s hard to imagine them voting on his side.
We all have our anecdotal experiences. If you’re a college student or graduate, going to school or working in an urban environment or coastal state, the data may not reflect your lived experience. But this has been the growing trend in national polls for some time now.
There’s also an increasing generational component to this, as millennials age out of the 18-29 demographic. If you’re a millennial, this shift may feel even more incomprehensible as millennials appear resistant to the typical conservative shift as they’ve aged.
It’s more than just Democrats, it’s society in general.
You can’t enlist the support of an entire gender by telling them that they are the source of all of society’s evils, and that they themselves are fundamentally evil no matter what, that they are all rapists-in-training, that the world would be better off if they were all killed, and that they are no better than vermin. And more importantly: that when they do something objectionable it is misogyny and bigoted and disgusting and (with some things) even illegal, but when women do it, it is a big nothingburger with zero consequences for the woman.
That’s how you alienate them and push them away.
And the alt-right has stepped in with comforting lies.
Is it any wonder that men have turned away from the left? There is absolutely no visible benefit for them there. So they have gone to where they are openly wanted and desired, where they are intentionally made to feel useful and valued… even though they are just pawns in a class war (Parasite Class vs working class), and will only ever be hurt by those they support.

Where in the Democrat platform says all this? You’re using the lies the right uses.
That’s the source. Not politics, society. In fact, politics - aside from the laws implemented, which can be exceedingly bigoted and sexist while attempting to be about equality - doesn’t say much about this at all.
They are literally out there right now with their “your body, my choice” bullshit proving why we they deserved scrutiny in the first place. And where did this “white” shit come from? I hadn’t read it was only white guys doing this.

That is absolutely horrifying
Democrats’ outreach to young people has been lectures and telling them they’re too insignificant to care about. What did you expect would happen?
Meanwhile, Republicans told them validating lies.

It doesn’t. Hence,

Hardly. As a generally liberal person… I see that the amount of scrutiny white young men go through is more than normal.
