I think progressives never thought about this because we banked on immigration and demographic change allowing us to win culturally and electorally but the issue is immigrants tend to be overwhelmingly male, that is how Trump won actually he won over a lot of Hispanic,Black,Asian and indigenous men who feel humiliated by a new culture, economy and world.

So what can we do rhetorically and policy wise to win more young men over ?

      You want to believe that young men are more complicated than they actually are. Your childish notions of men as complicated feelings creatures who need to open up and express their feelings oh wait not those feelings are part of the problem.

      Imo, more childish to deny people’s basic needs and desires. They aren’t that complicated.

      Excuse the paradox, but if you think that you or anyone else isn’t a just kid that got old then you still need to grow the fuck up. Sex and wealth, the two reasons humans have done anything at all for millennia.
