Economic concerns and growing disenchantment with both parties is draining support for Trump among Gen Z young men, a key bloc of support during the 2024 election
Male Gen Z voters are breaking with Donald Trump and the Republican party at large, recent polls show, less than a year after this same cohort defied convention and made a surprise shift right, helping Trump win the 2024 election.
Taken with wider polling suggesting Democrats will lead in the midterms, the findings on young men spell serious trouble for the Republican Party in 2026.
Younger Gen Z men, those born between 2002 and 2007, may be even more anti-Trump, according to October research from YouGov and the Young Men’s Research Project, a potential sign that their time living through the social upheavals of the Covid pandemic and not being political aware during the first Trump administration may be shaping their experience.
I’m not arguing in any particular way about it, I’m not American, and I don’t believe in electoralism, I believe no true change will ever come from voting or political parties.
I’m just explaining, if you live in a country with a two party system, if you want to end a genocide that both parties support, your only option electorally is to try and dissuade one of the two parties from it’s pro-genocidal position.
There are other solutions, of course, but those other solutions cannot be voted for.
