This is not my personal opinion, I know Gen Z men who voted for Harris. But the voter demographics really speak for themselves, and maybe now people will look at the radicalization of young men as a serious (but solvable) issue.

    Because the democrats haven’t made a serious appeal to them in a decade. We need to turn bell hooks into actionable political messaging.

      How do you “appeal” to future domestic terrorists when they believe it’s their calling to tear down everything good in society?

      I’m not trying to be sarcastic or dramatic, but they are drawn to Trump because he embodies all the horrible things they aspire to become.

      How can a political party that speaks of equality and justice even possibly make a connection with them? It sounds nice, but how would it happen without making your current base feel like you only want to help the worst behaved?

        Offer them a life that’s better than the one leading them down that path. It’s the same way any terrorism is dealt with if you want it to actually have an effect.
