68. I disagree they are a little bit different than their older MAGA

compatriots. The difference is they are young and stupid and gullible and actually believed Trump could make their lives better economically. They bought into the bs that Trump was actually a great president the first time and if it wasn't for COVID his whole entire first term would have been great. They bought into the narrative that gave Trump the credit for the stimulus. They also stupidly blamed Biden for the inflation issues without seeing that Trump's handling of Covid caused it.

They also stupidly thought that Trump would help their dating life hence they bought into all the crap these dating redpill guys were pushing on podcasts. I had empathy as an elder Millennial that dating has become a lot harder in this country due to these terrible dating apps that have skewed people's expectations of what a good mate is. The empathy however ended when they believed Trump could fix these issues. They thought by voting for Trump they were going to get back at all the women who rejected them and that the women they couldn't get would lower their standards for them. They are now learning the hard way that nothing will change regarding their dating lives which is something I kept on trying to tell them before they voted for Trump but they stupidly refused to listen.

Believe me a lot of these young men have regrets and they are more depressed now than they were before. Trump to them represented hope that their dating and economic lives could get better but now it's obvious it won't. You are going to see in upcoming years a lot of these guys spiral into great depression and an increase in suicide attempts.

On the other side the older MAGA guys have gotten to live their lives and just live to destroy people they hate while these young guys have not gotten to live their lives. That to me is the biggest difference between the two groups.
