    I don’t believe that. Anyone dumb enough to vote for trump thinking he would drain the swamp is way too dumb to ever realize he’s been duped.

    Also, I don’t know why so many dickheads talk about “upending” things. It takes a lot to have large complicated working systems.

    Any old asshole (or even something as simple as a virus) can “upend” a system. Why is that a value in itself I will just never understand.

        As a gen z man who did not vote for Trump, supports the rights of people, and generally is a good person to those around me - generalist arguments like this are poison to your goal. Blaming every man from 14 to 29 (depending on who you ask) is only going to succeed in alienating those men who are not going to be unreceptive of your actual point.

        Age, skin color, gender, sex, sexuality, whatever the combination - blame people for what they do, not the circumstances of their birth.

        The Trump voting neo-nazi chuds can get fucked. Don’t lump young liberals like me in with those cult of personality dicks with lazy generalizations, please.

          As a millennial male who did not vote for Trump, supports the rights of people, and generally is a good person to those around me - men are generally terrible. I kinda think that, if you can’t recognize this truth, you aren’t as good a person as you think.

            As a Gen X male (I prefer the term Oregon Trail Generation for those of us close to the cutoff) I echo your statements.

            But on top of that, I think there’s obvious context here that we’re talking about the dummies, not 100% of males of the generation.

            The comment that started this subthread was like a funny sarcastic comment I could hear in real life. Something like “I read about how male gen z trump voters feel duped by him” followed by “well it sounds like male gen z trump voters have bad judgment, lol!”

            I don’t know if that kind of retort is a regional thing or is uh, how do I say this, one of those things that you learn when you are raised by angry conservatives whose primary form of communication is complaining about other people.

    Duped? Fucking shitbags.

    Nobody was duped, bamboozled, tricked, or swindled into voted for Trump.

    People knew what Trump was about and chose that.

      For real. The photos and videos with and quotes about Epstein, the interviews with Stern talking about walking into changing rooms, grabbing 'em by the pussy, all this existed outside of the Epstein files.

      He bankrupted business after business but stayed afloat by being a con-man, and red-state suckers flooded his rallies to juice up on his low IQ rhetoric.

      Now he’s filling his vault with cryptoscam cash from his idiot base buying memecoins and third-rate junk watches, so that his insipid sons can continue the family business of groping, scamming and conning. Trump has replaced Reagan as the new face of the GOP and they LOVE it, because they get to say how much they hate immigrants out loud.

    Gen Z was born 1996-2009, the oldest were 19 years old in 2016 when Trump campaigned to drain the swamp, which famously didnt work.

    Only racists and fascists voted for him after 2016. He was surprisingly open about all the terrible things that have happened so far in his second term while on the campaign trail. Although I never listened to his campaign ramblings (nor did a large chunk of his crowd), I didn’t see reports about the drain the swamp slogan after the first term.

    How did it take them 9 years to feel duped?

      Not only. I know people who don’t fall into either of those groups. They were just gullible and stupid. Sure they were perhaps pressured by someone that falls into the first group (the bigots). Never underestimate peoples proclivity for stupidity.

          Yep. It’s also from trumps camp. You know the guy who just fired the director for a bad jobs report

          Gen x is fed jp with politics. Get offline GI talk to real people. People you DONG know. You’ll see

          But yknow, big judgmental leaps of silliness…

          Additional info edit:

          Tufts University

          “About 56% of young men, a demographic Trump’s campaign was vocal about trying to woo, said they voted for the former president this year, a flip from the 56% who voted for Joe Biden four years ago. Young women, while overall favoring Harris, also took steps toward Trump, moving from 33% in 2020 to 40% in 2024.”

          Now, to be fair, more if the younger generations also backed Harris.

          Now we look and see that there are larger Millenial and zoomer populations than boomers and gen xers

          You see his this actually works?

          56% of gen x voter is stil a smaller group than the gen z and millenials voting volume for trump.

          It is what if is.

            Ah so you’re suggesting the numbers are falsified?
            I Definitely wouldn’t put that past the maga lot, they haven’t said a single truth since they took the whitehouse; but this was as soon as the results were announced (Nov 6 from what I can tell), so i was just banking on their laziness, in the sense that they would just pull the graph from AP or somewhere like that.

            Are you able to link us to the figures that show gen x voted for predominantly Harris? All the ones I find seems to corroborate this trend of predominantly trump supporters.

            IE the BBC, which aren’t exactly trumps biggest supporters:

            I also found the source of the image used by whoever that maga loon I originally linked is, it seems to be from NBS news. I know little of their integrity as a news outlet, but here is the source nonetheless:

        Elder millennial parents pioneered unparenting. They are insufferable and have the shittiest kids. The iPad generation is how I know them.

        Hopefully young men in this country wake up before the wars Republicans always start turn them into casualty statistics.

          You can’t even go out to a brewery in my area without a bunch of unparented kiddos running around your feet.

          Some of them even have their fucking birthdays at the brewery. Happy 8th, Stetson! Your first present this year is watching Mommy and Daddy get hammered and have public arguments.

            Ah yes the alcoholic parent. We pioneered this one ourselves. Quite the accomplishment. Having never seen our parents slam down Natty Ice each day after work, we had no idea what we were getting into.

            Never before in history, had anyone ever chosen to have a drinking problem, and kids simultaneously.

              Yeah, comments like the one you are responding to, are ignorant of history. Millennials drink less than previous generations, as Z drinks less than Millennials. Also what we now call unparenting has been a thing for long time. I have read articles discussing not disciplining your child, and believing their natural curiosity will lead them to what they need to be successful, as a concerning trend, from the 19th century. For a much more modern example, the Simpsons did a bit about this decades ago. In a flashback to Ned’s childhood, he is an absolute terror, and his beatnik/hipster parents are talking to a specialist about it, and say “we’ve tried nothing, and we are all out of ideas”. When I was a teen, in the 90s, there was a massive trend of not disciplining, or properly educating, your child because “you will just be killing their creativity”.

                  Ah, yes, the birthday at a microbrewery, the place where children are allowed to go undisciplined, and the genesis point of the idea of people not disciplining their kids.

                  Seriously, do you not understand the concept of a single example being used to discuss a broader concept?

                Every single generation gets accused of creating the worst children ever, and they were just so much better back in the day. It’s quite literally a tale as old as time.

                The children now love luxury; they have bad manners, contempt for authority; they show disrespect for elders and love chatter in place of exercise. Children are now tyrants, not the servants of their households. They no longer rise when elders enter the room. They contradict their parents, chatter before company, gobble up dainties at the table, cross their legs, and tyrannize their teachers.
