In reply to the discussion: Young Men Who Elected Trump Just Realized They Scr*wed Up [View all]OneGrassRoot
(23,792 posts)64. An observation
Younger people have much less loyalty to organizations, including companies, and are much quicker to leave. I think thats actually a good evolution because organizations and companies have shown no loyalty to us.
They may make bad, reactionary choices but, in general, they want the same shit weve been fighting for here. Theyre especially tuned in to how $$$ is fucking up EVERYTHING.
So they dont have any loyalty to Trump or the GOP or any right-wing influencer. They will be loyal to a point, but they seem to see through the bullshit faster than older people who used to be able to rely on truth from media.

Nah, it's both doing the screwing up & mopping up. But men have more MYTHS about themselves.

Right. Real men, not "Real Men" TM, realize that the soft emotions ultimately are strong.

Personality and identity politics. Get people to vote against their own best interests.

Then they're really slow on the uptake. Hint: When they tell you and show you who and what they are, believe them!
