"A new trend has emerged in American politics: The very youngest voters — 18-to-24-year-olds — say they’re more conservative than the cohort that’s just older,” according to the latest Harvard Youth Poll.

“This new trend — which is true for both genders and emerged only in the last few years — is especially pronounced with men.”

    It doesn’t help that men literally cannot complain about their issues online without being called an incel. It’s so overused that it’s lost all meaning. The left needs to do better for young men than “Shut up women have it worse”

    *Obviously women DO have it worse, we just need to work on the messaging.

      In what ways? That’s important.

      For example, we’re WAY better at killing ourselves.

        That’s the wrong question, and that’s why they’re all turning to right wing but jobs.

        Boy kid gets online and says, I have X problem…he’s immediately downvoted to oblivion and a deluge of “but women have it worse.”

        But there’s one dude in that noise that says, I have that problem too…have you heard of Andrew Tate (or whoever the hot grifter is).

        We need to take these kids seriously if you want them to be well rounded adults. Otherwise they’re just going to keep leaking out to the extremists.
