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.

    Maybe because one political party despises them and wishes for “the bear”?

        If you tell an entire group of people they’re evil and dangerous because of a small percentage of them how do you think that’s gonna affect their opinion of you and their self esteem

        Trump seems to be targeting men with low self esteem and people who are afraid, which the left have played right into

        Democrats really did not do themselves any favours by saying stuff like that in the same way trump didn’t do himself any favours by saying stuff about women

          Its not that all of you are evil, but that any one of you could be evil. Big difference. Take my brother for example, who explicitly supports me, voted the same way, and is specifically asexual. I would obviously take him, or any man I know to be similar, over a bear. I know Ill be safe with them. But if I don’t get to choose the man, then yes, the bear is the safer option. At least with a bear, I know exactly how to proceed: make noise so it can avoid me, dont leave food out to not atteact it, pack bear spray in the worst case scenario. With a man, I dont know anything about them. And if theyre the minority that will actively hunt me, there’s not a whole lot I can do to deter them or defend myself the way I could with a bear.

          On a similar note, if that effects your self esteem when youre clearly not part of the problem, thats a you issue.

            Did not say my self esteem, nor that I support trump

            I said that’s the group trump is targeting, and the democrats are making it too easy for him to win them over by pushing that same group away

            I don’t think any good sentence has ever started with “it’s not that all of (group) are evil”
