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 ?

    It’s kinda hard to look at what’s currently happening in the US and not feel like every person who failed to vote against trump is a bit of an asshole. What a nightmare we all have to live through now.

      The people making the USA a nightmare at the moment are the people that didn’t vote for trump. They’re the ones rioting, attacking people, looting nike stores, burning cars, etc - all because immigration laws are finally being enforced.

      Agreed, but you’re not going to win anyone over by calling them an asshole and progressives do need to win more people over. Or at the very least get them off their asses and I into the voting booths.

      In your mind, what is happening that would cause someone who voted for Trump to be an ass hole, if the other candidate was calling them sexist and racist and an incel loser without even knowing them?

        Project 2025, deportations with no due process, ignoring court orders, destroying all sense of confidentiality to foreign adversaries in the govt, cutting every govt program that politically disagrees with them, starting a useless war with Iran, appointing the worst possible people to his cabinet, pardoning J6 terrorists and calling for the jailing of the J6 committee, trying to fire every judge who disagrees with him, dismantling and wasting our foreign aid resources, not to mention countless counts of lying, cheating, raping, scamming, corruption, hate, etc. Literally name a thing and he’s done it. And this is just off the top of my head.

          Project 2025 has nothing at all to do with trump or this admin lol. “No due process” only if you ignore all the due process they’ve already had.

          Did you just say that the USA started a war with Iran? Lol come on now.

          “Progressives” like you spreading “misinformation” and outright lies like you just did are one of the reasons why you lost almost the entire country.

          Never convicted of rape, said he doesn’t agree and won’t implement project 2025, he didn’t start a war with Iran, the people he is deporting are here illegally and violent criminals who have had due process, the Russia hoax was just that ie a hoax, both democrats and republicans constantly cut programs they disagree with once in power, that’s not a Trump thing, he pardoned J6 rioters that have not had due process after 4 years (you know the thing you complained about illegal immigrant violent criminals not getting), you’re a moron if you didn’t think USAID was a CIA slush fund, since you are so concerned about foreign wars, and you are an even bigger moron if you think Trump is the only politician that lies, they all do it frequently.

          Stop reading and giving into propaganda…

            I’m not even going to properly respond to this, if I could convince you you’d already have seen the truth. Stop watching fox news. Blocked
