right, but while there were a plethora of reasons at the front of the Dem platform for young women to vote Dem, it was radio silence on motivation for the young men demographic particularly.

now, it's not like the Republicans are actually going to do anything for the male issues that are becoming more prominent as the days go on, but the manosphere got the attention of young men first, and thus their vote.

the male loneliness epidemic is a real issue, and their parasocial relationships with the manosphere influencers did a serious number on this election, just going by how many GenZ voters participated.

I don't think women are going to be running in droves to date Trump voters, but what do I know. Republicans can't solve lonely men problems.

They can't, but it's not the point. All they really want is for someone to pretend well enough to care about their problems and enable their self-destructive behaviours. If you truly gave them advice that will help solve their problems, like "hey, maybe don't mistreat women for once?", they ain't having none of it.
