Frankly speaking I think its a lot of nostalgia. A lot of Gen Z remembers 2016-2020 as the easiest, happiest part of their lives. So they already have a very positive association with Trump. In fact, I saw that being leveraged no small amount in the ads I got served.
That happened to me! I’m a 2002 kid and I see my family began struggle after the Covid - 19 Pandemic which is strange since we can survive the pandemic pretty well
@@thomasffrench3639 clear example of rebellious voting. Things are not looking good right now so people just vote for the other side because it is the only change you as a voter can have on the country
@@thomasffrench3639 To be fair, the democrats hate us, white, straight, Christian, male, we are screwed. As gen z why should I vote for the left? They abandoned us. You seen Kamala's "Men" ad? Democrats hate us, why vote for them?
Sucks because they voted for Trump in 2016 and because of that we still have the second amendment in tact I guess because most boomers get their information from the news and the news is almost all extreme left wing propaganda
As a Gen Z, the switch doesnt surprise me that much for a lot of reasons : - The over arching influence everywhere is liberal and we are definitely rebeling from their horribleness (anti male, policies that don't work, condescending, hyper sexulized, crazy and far too woke) - you guys did a video on the reversing trend on Gen Z with spirituality - general discontent with the today's (super leftist) culture - The popular left leaning medias lies -Conservatives talk to young people far more and they appear much more genuine (good and bad). - the internet is everywhere and gossip spreads fast in private circles too so we know the actual effect of Liberal Policies and the moral do gooders(SJW and cancel culture affected mostly right being figures in beggening ). - A lot of effort by the republican party to seem more inclusive and less hateful which completely breaks the left wing narrative, (Vivek Ramaswamy, Tulsi Gabad , etc in Republican Party and many many more young people that have joined the conservative culture )
The leftist narrative that only old people vote right is dead. At the last French presidential election macron (left/centrist) only beat Le Pen (right-wing) due to the 65+ age bracket.
@thomasffrench3639 I get what your saying democrats are corporate owned. But dont tell me trans kids, defund the police, blm, DEI, and open border policies are "centre right". 🤣🤣🤣
This is huge. If Vance plays his cards right and keeps on the same meteoric rise that he's been on, we'll be looking at an even larger shift in 4yrs and an even bigger Red sweep!
love the breakdown, I think it's also something to point out that Democrats assumed previous demographics will show up again in favor of Harris when in fact they took those groups for granted. That miscalculation, on top of Trump's massive cultural outreach likely helped Trump secure the election
And the fact Harris and the dems wouldn't stop talking about Trump 24/7 which gave him more coverage and attention. Plus calling him Hitler for 8 years tends to wear off after a long while
I was in 6th grade when trump won in 16 and watched our teachers melt down and just look like idiots and we want to be men again and buy houses and have families we are sick of these women ruining around with there bodies and breaking us
Yes "women" are the problem. I completely agree with you when u said women are idiots because men are better. I would also like for women to stop having women bodies and be men. 6th grade you has to be the best opinion I've ever seen.
I am 20 and I voted for Trump because I believe he will provide a better economy for my future and because I was tired of all the trans and other weird shit the democrats supported.
Conservatives being the new “rebellious” act is the greatest thing ever. Rebellion is a key component of a teenagers life and just humans in general. For it to be associated with Trump will strike really well with the youth
@@jamescannon7935 I don’t think Trump will become one because he’s a weak old man, but this is true. Radical conservatism leads to being against the other. It’s like the Confederacy, Muslim Theocracies, and Fascist Government. Conform or die
I'm Gen Z (born early 2000s) and I made the mistake of attending a college a few years back that had a very left-wing bias. Essentially, the odds were stacked against you if you were just a white male with no pronouns/alternative sexuality. They'd expect you to always bow down and apologize or act submissively or if not, if you were just silent/didn't share anything about politics you were immediately shunned. It was stressful because at that time I wasn't even politically extreme, I tried to be neutral yet I was still trying to figure myself and learn different perspectives. Yet they were always throwing around terms like "patriarchal" and using the victim card in any situation. This is why a lot of Gen Z men turned to Trump.
I totally understand where you are coming from, however, Trump in particular really broke them. Here is an obvious bigot who wants to take away their rights, and they ended up being correct. Book bans, forcing religion down their throats, Roe v. Wade being overturned, etc. and it looks like they are going after contraception next. And now you see so many people have a lot of resentment for minorities and women, which makes them want to vote against the other's interests instead of voting for their own economic interest. You just have to remember that college students are immature, so I would take their outrage with a grain of salt. Take what they say into consideration, but don't hate minorities and women just because of this stuff.
I voted for Trump not because he was a meme in 2016, but we need him to get the economy under control. I remember when gas prices were lower under Trump than they were under Obama. Not to mention that no wars started when Trump was president, so that's a big deal, and of course most of the women today are out of their mind with the whole abortion crap
Trump still supports genocide. He got blood in his hands. He's also friends with people like Diddy or Epstein. He is as demonic as it could get. Sad that you get fooled
Trump still supports Israeli actions. And we all know what it is. Lacking in morals. Honestly just like any other politicians. ( Not a Harris suporter)
@@jimbomacgee3499 literally no one cares about her laugh, although it is pretty funny that Trump never laughs, probably because he can’t make fun of himself
@ yea we need 7% interest rates but only until 3 months before the election which is when we’ll lower it to make everyone think the economy is thriving
mane dont let them old folks tell you they didnt do this. as a millenial i gotta remind you were too busy keeping logs on trucks and oil in the refineries. as your generation gets the world on its shoulders. youll see the generations before you blame everything on you. boomers did biden harris
@@thegreatesttoeverdoit Jerome Powell is not political. He just helped us achieve a soft landing. If it was political, he would have done it at the beginning of the year so people could feel better about the economy. I will admit that we would need to try to lower the inflation rate a little more later so that we can have a slower inflation rate as we adjust.
I'm Gen Z, 2003, and this election was the first one I've ever voted in and I could not be more happier to vote Trump! I've been born into a conservative home in the South and when 2016 happened I was in middle school and I can remember how divisive it was within my own family, not to the point of cutting off thankfully but vocally denouncing Trump. I watched the news drag him through the mud day after day, week after week, year after year, for what purpose? All I saw was that he cared about America, and it helped too that he was a TV businessman personality with his show, I thought he was a funny guy! And now the media is saying he's Hitler!? I'm a history nerd, I will admit. So, if Trump was truly like Hitler, how come he doesn't deport or lock Jewish people or people he doesn't like into ghettos or camps? How come he hasn't invaded any other country around our borders for 'Living space'? Why does he like LGBT people? How come he hasn't promoted a eugenics program to create a master race of Aryans? Where is it? Where's the evidence for those accusations? He's done nothing of the sort and they are simply throwing around Hitler's name because everybody on Earth knows who that is and how - capital E - Evil he was. During '16 to '20 I watched those 'SJW FREAKOUT' videos and I realized how deluded some people can be. Now hear me out, there's bad people on both sides, but when it came down to the Coronavirus/Covid-19 era and all that happened within that eventful year of 2020, I saw more violence coming from the left rather than the right. When Biden won, I was disappointed, but I carried on because I knew I couldn't do anything about it, which is a very stark contrast to those who flipped out over Trump winning in '16 (and '24). And throughout the entirety of Biden's presidency, I watched how my country became a laughing stock to the world, and I didn't like that. July 13th, 2024 is a day which I'll probably remember for the rest of my life, when Trump avoided being assassinated by mere inches. What horrified me was that the shooter was younger than me, and he had just thrown his life away for a cause that he most likely believed in because of the years and years of bashing the media had done. When I saw that Trump stood up in front of the American flag, bloodied and surrounded, yelling "Fight!", that is the picturesque definition of what it means to love America. It was then that I knew he'd win. And once he kept going, kept trucking along no matter what, going on podcasts and simply just appealing to us Gen Z rather than pander to, like Harris did, he simply just pulled out his trump card and he won. Us Gen Z, we get a hard rap. We're like test subjects to the experiment that is social media, and quite frankly, it's torn us up. There is so much mental anguish within us because of Covid, our lost years, and media in general. It's gotten to me as well to be honest. But Trump seems to be a beacon of light, a way out of this post-covid crash. I'm ready for things to change for the better because I was tired of all this woke stupidity attempting to corrupt the youth and Christian values. I want America to be Great Again, and we have answered in agreement. We want our future and lives back.
What about the MAGA traitors freaking out in 2021? Seem to ignore that, but call out the liberals in 2016, interesting omission. I guess that's not surprising considering you are from the South. Also Trump stated he wanted generals like Mustache Man. He's a traitor and laughing stock. But you just ignore all of the things that can make you dislike him.
Trump hates America, and wants to take away the secularism that makes it great. I don't want Christian values corrupting my nation, even if I am a Catholic. Also did the Furer put people in camps for his first 4 years? He's 100% a fascist, aka an ultranationalists who wants to exclude anyone who isn't consider American. He even looks up to that "EVIL" Man. Also why did you ignore the MAGA freakout where they committed treason against the United States, and Charlottesville
An older coworker of mine told me this-old people are conservative because they want to pull up the ladder for themselves. People in general are liberal because they don't want to see anyone climbing ladders. Young conservatives want to make a ladder.
People are republicans for many different reasons. A republican in 1860, a republican in the mid 20th century, and a republican now are VERY different people.
@@holtcompass3934 Although I would say that Republicans generally represent big business, and Democrats represent the working man. The ladder is less true now, but they are still better at it than the Republicans.
@@holtcompass3934 I think they are conservative because the older you get, the less likely you are to change. I’ve seen conservatism as a more social aspect of politics than an economic one
I think thanks largely to the podcast -verse and direct to consumer capabilities of things like apps or social media, Gen Z is able to sniff a lie or a political ruse so much faster now. The equivalent of that in the rebellious Woodstock generation's days of newspapers and early TV was such a filtered source that's not changed it's MO much and gotten even more curated or deceitful. In other words, Gen Z's BS Meters are top notch thanks in part to the media tools at their disposal that don't go through a corporate cleansing before the info gets to them... Add all that + the already strong authority-questioning spirit of a young person, as you document well here? Wow.
Eh, it's a rise in populism which isn't necessarily good given it's just contrarian. They'll learn what the establishment really is, and realize that includes Trump. Sh0e on head has a great video of why young men are shifting to the right. Given the ostracizing of young men they often feel lost and lonely leading them to Andrew Tate, Jordan Peterson, or other pseudo-role models.
"Come mothers and fathers Throughout the land And don't criticize What you can't understand Your sons and your daughters Are beyond your command Your old road is rapidly agin' Please get out of the new one If you can't lend your hand For the times they are a-changin'"
I don't support Trump, I support the Republican party. Sure nobody's perfect, but if you have your mom's good genes, he is the last person next to Epstein and Cosby that you'd want to leave her with.
@@IchabodvanTassel98 The corporations that Trump will give tax cuts and allow to become monopolies. And if you mean political power, it is currently gridlocked, so Republicans. If you mean the last 4 years, than I guess the democrats had power for 2 years, but then barely had it for the last half.
I think that sorta makes sense. Young people didnt live through older times so they cant really compare how the country was during different presidents. But they did live through 2016, the time when Trump became president. And they also keep reminiscing about those times because compared to now they were better times. At least thats a part of it.
This is my personal opinion after talking with my grandparents. All the older folk do is watch TV and rarely get any kind of social media activity. The 95% majority of Trump news on TV is slander against him. Always putting him in a bad light, creating this massive hatred of him. My wife and I visit with her grandparents and out of the past 15yrs, there has not been a single time their TV hasn't been tuned into CNN/ABC/NBC when we walk through their door. It's all they ever watch and listen to, and when they talk about Trump, it's never good. And sure enough, they voted for Harris solely because "Trump is an evil, bad man."...from what they're TOLD. The only way to see the real Trump is to have the ability to look elsewhere. The elderly mostly don't have that ability.
When Trump won the first time, I said that he won because he is not a politician. I stand by that for this election as well. People are sick of politicians and their rehearsed answers and their pretense and untrustworthy demeanors. Trump does not seem like that. He can certainly be a mess, but what you see is what you get. People respect that and want to vote for someone who is real.
Trump is like one of the least trustworthy politicians. Also he’s a corrupt businessman, which isn’t much better than a politician, and I would argue worse
Im also 03 kid.. I remeber asking everyone if they like Hillary or Trump more back in 2016 (Im Czech).. I used to like Trump back when he ran, then hated him for better part of my life and then finally started to like him again in 2021
Im gen Z, I think an important factor that you may look into for future videos is the widespread right-wing shift of young white men stemming from their alienation. One of the most important demographics for politicians to keep an eye on in the coming decades is young, conservative, white men who we are beginning to see feel isolated in a changing world, pushing them closer to radical beliefs. This demographic was a large contributor to the election of Trump and a demographic repeatedly overlooked by the democratic party and the respective campaigns of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. This particular demographic is more concerned about changing demographics than anyone else, and it shows. They are the perpetrators of the anti-woke movement, fuelled by rage incited by talk show hosts and male influencers such as Matt Walsh and Jordan Peterson on social media. Their isolation makes them adamantly opposed to the policies related to the push for DEI in private and public organizations. They feel their power slipping, and the ideals they were raised upon-the white American dream-are disappearing. This group is a faction of conservatives, a branch of the past, with additional anger and resentment towards change. I can't really speak to the female gen z voters who support Trump, of which there is non-insignificant group, however, you can also see (you may have mentioned it in a previous video, can't remember) how young men and young women are starting to distinguish themselves on the political spectrum where women vote largely on abortion and men vote largely on the economy. If you've gotten this far into this long ass comment, one more thing I would like to add is that I am 17 right now so I couldn't vote, but I would've voted for Kamala. When I heard the news, my first instinct was that the reason he won---or part of it---is that at no point thus far in the history of our nation has the country been so evenly divided on so many issues, while simultaneously being extremely resitant to opposing world views. I hope that people will become less polarized over politics and see someone with opposing political views as just as American or just as human as they are, but I fear social media is leading a new more hateful understanding of the world. I think what everyone needs to do right now is come together and really try and listen to each other and validate each others concerns and work on solutions which result in a non-zero-sum game.
OMG, give me a break. For reference I'm 23. None of my friends want this "white" dominated culture you're talking about. This is pure social media/mainstream propaganda. In fact, I've never met a guy my age even considering this as important, because it's not. Yeah, you'll hear edgelord racist and sexist jokes online and stuff, but that's what the boys do. We say raucous and edgy shit to make each other laugh, it's always in jest and we don't actually mean any of it. It's not sufficient evidence for widespread racism. I'm being nice here because since you're 17, you haven't been to college yet or started looking at buying a house. Between the 6 years of age we have, I've already experienced a lot of the crap in society that simply wasn't around when I was a kid. My friends and I go to the pub often and talk about politics basically every time. We have a big friend group of all races. We all voted Trump. The things we're mostly concerned about is economy, illegal immigration, and mental illness being normalized. When you get to my age, you start trying to settle into a career and finding a home to buy. After all of this inflation, it's much harder to find a job that pays with the inflation rate and finding a home that isn't astronomically expensive. The economy is "up" but it isn't trickling down into wage growth. We're also terrified of these wars around the world turning ballistic and forcing us into a draft. And none of this is race like you'd be led to believe. Why are we against illegal immigration? Not because they're mostly brown or black, it's because it's fucking stupid to import 10 million people into a country that is failing its citizens that can't make ends meet. That's why. When I was in college I was lectured on how it's the white man's fault. I could barely afford college working full-time and school full-time, how is any of this shit my fault? It's not, it's a lie. We don't dislike DEI because it hires more minorities, we don't like it because it doesn't make any mathematical sense. You want to hire the best of the best and completely ignore race. If we hired on merit, mathematically it would reflect our racial demographics. We grew up with MLK Jr. saying to judge a man on his character, not his race. Growing up, none of our family was trans (mental illness), and you'd have an occasional gay guy. Now it has exploded, and all of us can smell the fishy situation and know it's a social contagion spread by institutions that are no longer interested in making our youth the best in math and English. The woke stuff is a new phenomenon and the young people know something is off. I didn't even know what trans was until I was 12. Now they're teaching it to little kids. That's why Trump won. The progressives made maximum progress when gay marriage became legal (literally peak society) and they have simply regressed from there. Women have dicks now? It's lunacy, no one is buying it anymore.
@@yoloyolo5183 I voted for the first time and overall I agree with your assessment for the most part, though I heavily disagree with the Democratic institution and Harris as a candidate. The DNC has demonstrated arrogance, complacency, and being out of touch by snubbing out internal critics and force feeding decisions that other Democrats had no hand in making. Primaries, outreach, and being receptive to criticism shows signs of adaptability, legitimacy, and change and the lack thereof within the 2024 cycle made the DNC come off as reactionary instead of revolutionary. But your final few sentences is the key aspect on all factions within the American political experience: we must be willing to be open minded and come together as Americans over any political dogma or party. Because I strongly detest Trump and his party, and I don't like what he has in store for our nation eitjer
It doesn't help that the disillusionment with the "white American dream" is NOT SOLELY an irrational backlash against loss of hegemonic dominance in society, but also stemming from increasing prevalence of antagonistic rhetoric against white people and masculinity in online leftist circles, in a culture hyper focused on identity politics and the correction of perceived social ills by actively and covertly advocating to take away the power enjoyed by the privileged groups. In such a context, figures like Peterson, Tucker, etc., only fuel the flames of resentment by leveraging ideological explanations to explain their societal and personal discontentment. The group that actually favored them in their political rhetoric, regardless of their true intentions. If nothing else, it's the left's obvious vacuum to dedicate some favorable attention to the hegemonic group in their political conversation.
your long ass statement is part of the reason young white men may vote for right wing politicians. People are generally tired of hearing everyday about a partriachal society in which they were raised and how they are bad because they do not want change, yet all around them they can clearly see their mothers and sisters have equal rights to them.
As a Gen Z, I voted for Trump for the future of our country. It also makes me angry to see my generation not be able to afford homes of our own and still live with their parents. I want to see me and my own generation have homes and start families.
As a Gen-Zer, I want to also say that the economy had a big factor in this - at least from my perspective. The younger generations are looking to the future and are realizing that they want to be able to afford a house, a car, groceries, and gas. And, because the previous democratic presidents failed to give us this, but the one republican delivered and more, it's only reasonable that we would vote for the republican.
I think what is under mentioned is that after a true attempt on his life where most people would be still with shock he raises his fist and says fight. Honestly inspirational and I hope will be taught for centuries
I'm a young Gen-Zer(born 2009), so it wouldn't be until four more years that I got to really get into the voting sides of politics(rn I'm just spectating)
All I can say is you'll need to stay strong and question what your teachers are telling, because they're really targetting younger Gen Zs with a lot of propaganda.
@@holtcompass3934 I've never voted for Trump, Hillary in 2016 cuz I was fear mongered by the media and third party every election cycle after that. Green party in 2020 and libertarian in 2024 to be precise. Don't take this to mean that I think Kamala would've been better tho, I think Trump is a better net positive for the country I just happen to live in a state where my vote doesn't matter.
I really can’t stress as a college kid how much an impact the Podcasts had on young voters. Guys who didn’t care and almost certainly wouldn’t have voted watched these podcasts where they simply saw a President sit down and talk normally for 3 hours straight with casual dudes. No script, no cuts, no bullshit. Meanwhile both Biden and Harris seemed to be unable to sit down for a 10 minute scripted interview with major news networks.
Hey, I'm Gen-Z! Like many who vote, it has a lot to do with my personal experience. I'm on the older side of Gen-Z so I was in college during COVID. I was in a particular economic status growing up where my family barely made enough money to put food on the table but made a little too much money to qualify for food stamps / free school lunches. I'm not in a minority group, I'm not female, and I don't identify as a different sexual orientation, but throughout my entire life every other group was given advantages through exclusive scholarships or affirmative action enrollment. In the microcosm of my short life, I think "Why can't my family get some help? What did I do wrong?" This, mind you, is coming from a guy back in 2016 would have voted for Bernie Sanders or Andrew Yang and that's because I don't want particular groups based on race or sexuality to get help necessarily, I want anybody that needs help to be able to get help.
Well affirmative action exists to combat the racism of America. I know it can seem unfair to a poor white person, but it is pretty necessary considering the amount of disadvantages they experience that you don't see.
I think its just generally the fact he's talked about fixing the economy and we're tired of living in poverty. Kamala didn't stress enough how she planned to help with affordable housing, while majority of her ads were interviewing woman about the abortion issue, if it werent that it was the ad of those two guys sitting at the bar complaining about how trumps a bad guy. She should've really stressed the economic issues we're faced with in political ads, instead she focused on social issues that majority of us arent focused on when bills are destroying us. Trump KNEW how to speak to the youth
@@MovieDogg50 Are you really calling removal of illegal immigrants ethnic cleansing? Also how will he increase inflation give me some ways instead of just giving the final result
@@something9005 tariffs will increase prices. Also, getting rid of immigrants is ethnic cleansing. They only want nation borns in America, even if they have kids born here
i think it also has to do how democrats talk down on poeple alot. like they act like poeple are children. however trump talks like americans like they are human like him
Not pertaining to myself, but I think that a lot of young men hear terms like "toxic masculinity" and so on, from academia and the left, and think it's against them. Even if this is not the intent of the majority of the people who use terms like this, it nonetheless has alienated many men from these perspectives, going further into areas of thought that go against these notions.
I agree. They feel like the world is against them. I understand why they feel that way considering how it feels that everyone else is getting benefits that they don't, not to mention how the Democrats are Neoliberals, and they feel abandoned.
Gen Z here: I never could fall in line with the liberal way of thinking. It was always the virtue signaling, wokeness, and the political correctness of it all that pushed me away. I was in High School during Trump's first term and life was simply better back than up until Covid. When Biden took office my life just wasn't as good, then the Afghanistan withdrawal happened as well as the left constantly screamed how if you didn't fall in line with their way of thinking, you were a neo-nazi, white supremacist, etc. Not to mention the cost of living is so high that as a blue-collar worker, I can't afford to live on my own, groceries are expensive, and gas prices are still above pre-covid levels. My vote for Trump was to try and bring back the administration the was in charge back when life was good, even with all of his baggage.
So you punish Biden for COVID, but not Trump? Also supporting a guy who admires Hitler and threatens his enemies is not something that I am comfortable with treating with compassion.
I am a a young gen z. I have to libral parrents and live in rhode island and I love trump. It comes from the stupidity of the stuff I am lectred at school
If you’re saying they chose Trump over Kamala, you’d use the word former instead of latter. Former comes first, meaning you’re referring to the first thing you mentioned (Trump’s term in this case). Latter comes later, which means you’re referring to the second thing you mentioned (Kamala’s term in this instance).
You said "most can't vote", despite a majority (hint, that means most) being over the age of 18 and so definitely able to vote. Maybe you're mixing us up with Gen Alpha, or you've become confused and think it's still 2016 or something.
What I really worry about is if the new generation ends up not believing in scientific ideas and critical thinking. Mindless populism gets you no where. It's how we got where we are now. Climate change denial, anti vaccine rhetoric, and not knowing how evil big corporations can be are my main fears. I hope with the lack of attention spans they can still weed out the rhetoric from both sides, but it's hard to say if that will come to fruition. Of course you have man o sphere propped up by leftists ostracizing men. We also have the fact Gen Z has dealt with the last few years in terms of inflation. I mean both sides are literally supporting an already failing status quo. Both being propped up by big businesses influencing our elections.
My guy, you just countered your own argument. You cannot say that one side "does not trust [x]," when that side that wants you to trust them is backed by, in large part, questionably moral corporations. Most of us recognize climate change, however the ways to get there on the left's side aren't correct (I mean, giving corporations large sums of money to get them to help change the government is very much questionable) and the right hasn't changed much, with their biggest argument being nuclear (whether moral/correct or not is up for interpretation). Plus, the left can't even decide when climate change is "irreversible" or "peaked out," with scientists and politicians spouting years out and them not coming to pass. So, go figure that many don't buy into leftist rhetoric. Rightist rhetoric may not be perfect, but, to many, it is currently better than whatever predictions/ideas that demonized them from the leftist sphere.
Anti vaccine people are legit correct to question this stuff because of how manipulated the covid vaccines were and how much of the testing they rushed to release it. Literally the heads of FDA approved those vaccines and helped get it pass and just a few months later quit and got hired by the same companies that released the vaccines. If you can't see what has happened here then there is no hope. I took the covid vaccine but never again without making my own research. You can't trust FDA or the government clearly.
Put simply, our generation is being heard. Let’s hope to God that the old guard who’ve been in power no later then 1980 will go away in the coming years.
Im 21 and while I didn't vote for Trump, had I been a year older 4 years ago, I would have. I can't speak for anyone other than myself, but I grew up in a rural area, all my family members are Trumpers for the most part, and during COVID, 17 year old me had nothing to do but scroll. I ended up falling victim to the alt right pipeline right here on RUclips (which from what I've heard is a pretty common coming of age ritual for a lot of young men my age unfortunately), and it only amplified when the BLM protests/riots began. While I do still have some tendencies towards the right side of the isle I was able to come out of it due to my current gf and my younger brother (19) who somehow fell into the opposite rabbit hole (hes not as far into politics anymore, but he used to be an active Hasan viewer). Its scary how the alt right pipeline sucks you in, it started with wierd stuff like Jordan Peterson and Ben Shapiro and by the end of the summer I was researching the Great Replacement Theory. Now I don't believe so many young men voted Trump just because they were radicalized, only that it could be a peice of the puzzle as to the shifting political views lf young people. I think young men feel left behind. They're graduating into an economy with little hope for economic stability under a system that is run by oligarchs. Democrats NEED to pay attention to the working class in a radical way in 2028. Bernie Sanders is most representative of what im looking for policy wise, but the Dems have unfortunately already agreed with the Republicans on the economy, not surprising when considering all these politicians are millionaires. It's just unfortunate that the majority of people are too ignorant to understand that the president doesn't have full control of the economy, and electing a billionaire isn't going to change the interest of big government in our favor.
So you came close to developping strong and well-researched political opinions but decided not to do so because you were afraid of the "alt-right" or the opinions or people presenting them were "weird" or "scary"?
I'm 20 and I voted for Kamala. Not because I think Trump is Hitler, but because I think he's a clown. That being said, I was laughing my ass off when he won
Pretty ironic saying trump isn't scripted, bullshitty, or inauthentic right after the clip of him at McDonald's which was scripted and staged. Otherwise, solid video, even as a Democrat, I was blind to see how much my generation had really swayed to the right, those podcast stats are crazy
That's a very critique. It was probably a bad tee-up for that comment, though I do believe that voters find him more authentic and less scripted than normal politicians (I also would be my life savings he went off script during the McDonald's gig)
@@lobgrenuke It doesn’t really matter. Those people will simply cling onto anything. Even after their kind tried to kill him multiple times and did get his supporters shot and killed, they still think they are in a position to dictate terms.
Idk bout that. I know a lot of Zillenials that voted for Trump. We grew up during the Mid-2000s & Early 2010s, when people weren't so sensitive as most are now.
You know ive kind of been thinking about the rebellious aspect myself but didnt hear anyone else say it till now Years ago, it was your religious parents who were conservative so you’d be liberal to oppose them. Nowadays, everything from the mainstream media to most online talking heads are liberal so in a way, conservatism is the new punk just because its “the opposite thing”
Conservatism is not the new punk. It's just a bunch of offended white people who hated the Civil Rights Acts from the 60s who have convinced others to join them.
I wish you would talk about the current economy and how that affected the vote. I know a lot of young people in my campus are struggling with jobs and stuff and blame the dems even though they don’t really have control over it

- general discontent with the today's (super leftist) culture
- The popular left leaning medias lies
-Conservatives talk to young people far more and they appear much more genuine (good and bad).
- the internet is everywhere and gossip spreads fast in private circles too so we know the actual effect of Liberal Policies and the moral do gooders(SJW and cancel culture affected mostly right being figures in beggening ).
- A lot of effort by the republican party to seem more inclusive and less hateful which completely breaks the left wing narrative, (Vivek Ramaswamy, Tulsi Gabad , etc in Republican Party and many many more young people that have joined the conservative culture )

I'm Gen Z (born early 2000s) and I made the mistake of attending a college a few years back that had a very left-wing bias. Essentially, the odds were stacked against you if you were just a white male with no pronouns/alternative sexuality. They'd expect you to always bow down and apologize or act submissively or if not, if you were just silent/didn't share anything about politics you were immediately shunned. It was stressful because at that time I wasn't even politically extreme, I tried to be neutral yet I was still trying to figure myself and learn different perspectives. Yet they were always throwing around terms like "patriarchal" and using the victim card in any situation. This is why a lot of Gen Z men turned to Trump.
I totally understand where you are coming from, however, Trump in particular really broke them. Here is an obvious bigot who wants to take away their rights, and they ended up being correct. Book bans, forcing religion down their throats, Roe v. Wade being overturned, etc. and it looks like they are going after contraception next. And now you see so many people have a lot of resentment for minorities and women, which makes them want to vote against the other's interests instead of voting for their own economic interest. You just have to remember that college students are immature, so I would take their outrage with a grain of salt. Take what they say into consideration, but don't hate minorities and women just because of this stuff.
I voted for Trump not because he was a meme in 2016, but we need him to get the economy under control. I remember when gas prices were lower under Trump than they were under Obama. Not to mention that no wars started when Trump was president, so that's a big deal, and of course most of the women today are out of their mind with the whole abortion crap
Trump is not a saint. He supported the murder of Palestinian children just like other candidates. He's friends with Diddy and Epstein.

I'm Gen Z, 2003, and this election was the first one I've ever voted in and I could not be more happier to vote Trump!
I've been born into a conservative home in the South and when 2016 happened I was in middle school and I can remember how divisive it was within my own family, not to the point of cutting off thankfully but vocally denouncing Trump. I watched the news drag him through the mud day after day, week after week, year after year, for what purpose? All I saw was that he cared about America, and it helped too that he was a TV businessman personality with his show, I thought he was a funny guy! And now the media is saying he's Hitler!?
I'm a history nerd, I will admit. So, if Trump was truly like Hitler, how come he doesn't deport or lock Jewish people or people he doesn't like into ghettos or camps? How come he hasn't invaded any other country around our borders for 'Living space'? Why does he like LGBT people? How come he hasn't promoted a eugenics program to create a master race of Aryans? Where is it? Where's the evidence for those accusations? He's done nothing of the sort and they are simply throwing around Hitler's name because everybody on Earth knows who that is and how - capital E - Evil he was.
During '16 to '20 I watched those 'SJW FREAKOUT' videos and I realized how deluded some people can be. Now hear me out, there's bad people on both sides, but when it came down to the Coronavirus/Covid-19 era and all that happened within that eventful year of 2020, I saw more violence coming from the left rather than the right. When Biden won, I was disappointed, but I carried on because I knew I couldn't do anything about it, which is a very stark contrast to those who flipped out over Trump winning in '16 (and '24). And throughout the entirety of Biden's presidency, I watched how my country became a laughing stock to the world, and I didn't like that.
July 13th, 2024 is a day which I'll probably remember for the rest of my life, when Trump avoided being assassinated by mere inches. What horrified me was that the shooter was younger than me, and he had just thrown his life away for a cause that he most likely believed in because of the years and years of bashing the media had done. When I saw that Trump stood up in front of the American flag, bloodied and surrounded, yelling "Fight!", that is the picturesque definition of what it means to love America. It was then that I knew he'd win. And once he kept going, kept trucking along no matter what, going on podcasts and simply just appealing to us Gen Z rather than pander to, like Harris did, he simply just pulled out his trump card and he won.
Us Gen Z, we get a hard rap. We're like test subjects to the experiment that is social media, and quite frankly, it's torn us up. There is so much mental anguish within us because of Covid, our lost years, and media in general. It's gotten to me as well to be honest. But Trump seems to be a beacon of light, a way out of this post-covid crash. I'm ready for things to change for the better because I was tired of all this woke stupidity attempting to corrupt the youth and Christian values. I want America to be Great Again, and we have answered in agreement.
We want our future and lives back.
Couldn't have said it better myself. Thank you for sharing

This is my personal opinion after talking with my grandparents. All the older folk do is watch TV and rarely get any kind of social media activity.
The 95% majority of Trump news on TV is slander against him. Always putting him in a bad light, creating this massive hatred of him. My wife and I visit with her grandparents and out of the past 15yrs, there has not been a single time their TV hasn't been tuned into CNN/ABC/NBC when we walk through their door. It's all they ever watch and listen to, and when they talk about Trump, it's never good.
And sure enough, they voted for Harris solely because "Trump is an evil, bad man."...from what they're TOLD. The only way to see the real Trump is to have the ability to look elsewhere. The elderly mostly don't have that ability.

Im gen Z, I think an important factor that you may look into for future videos is the widespread right-wing shift of young white men stemming from their alienation.
One of the most important demographics for politicians to keep an eye on in the coming decades is young, conservative, white men who we are beginning to see feel isolated in a changing world, pushing them closer to radical beliefs. This demographic was a large contributor to the election of Trump and a demographic repeatedly
overlooked by the democratic party and the respective campaigns of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. This particular demographic is more concerned about changing demographics than anyone else, and it shows. They are the perpetrators of the anti-woke movement, fuelled by rage incited by talk show hosts and male influencers such as Matt Walsh and Jordan Peterson on social media. Their isolation makes them adamantly opposed to the policies related to the push for DEI in private and public organizations. They feel their power slipping, and the ideals they were raised upon-the white American dream-are disappearing. This group is a faction of conservatives, a branch of the past, with additional anger and resentment towards change.
I can't really speak to the female gen z voters who support Trump, of which there is non-insignificant group, however, you can also see (you may have mentioned it in a previous video, can't remember) how young men and young women are starting to distinguish themselves on the political spectrum where women vote largely on abortion and men vote largely on the economy.
If you've gotten this far into this long ass comment, one more thing I would like to add is that I am 17 right now so I couldn't vote, but I would've voted for Kamala. When I heard the news, my first instinct was that the reason he won---or part of it---is that at no point thus far in the history of our nation has the country been so evenly divided on so many issues, while simultaneously being extremely resitant to opposing world views. I hope that people will become less polarized over politics and see someone with opposing political views as just as American or just as human as they are, but I fear social media is leading a new more hateful understanding of the world. I think what everyone needs to do right now is come together and really try and listen to each other and validate each others concerns and work on solutions which result in a non-zero-sum game.
interesting theory
OMG, give me a break. For reference I'm 23. None of my friends want this "white" dominated culture you're talking about. This is pure social media/mainstream propaganda. In fact, I've never met a guy my age even considering this as important, because it's not. Yeah, you'll hear edgelord racist and sexist jokes online and stuff, but that's what the boys do. We say raucous and edgy shit to make each other laugh, it's always in jest and we don't actually mean any of it. It's not sufficient evidence for widespread racism. I'm being nice here because since you're 17, you haven't been to college yet or started looking at buying a house. Between the 6 years of age we have, I've already experienced a lot of the crap in society that simply wasn't around when I was a kid.
My friends and I go to the pub often and talk about politics basically every time. We have a big friend group of all races. We all voted Trump. The things we're mostly concerned about is economy, illegal immigration, and mental illness being normalized. When you get to my age, you start trying to settle into a career and finding a home to buy. After all of this inflation, it's much harder to find a job that pays with the inflation rate and finding a home that isn't astronomically expensive. The economy is "up" but it isn't trickling down into wage growth. We're also terrified of these wars around the world turning ballistic and forcing us into a draft. And none of this is race like you'd be led to believe. Why are we against illegal immigration? Not because they're mostly brown or black, it's because it's fucking stupid to import 10 million people into a country that is failing its citizens that can't make ends meet. That's why.
When I was in college I was lectured on how it's the white man's fault. I could barely afford college working full-time and school full-time, how is any of this shit my fault? It's not, it's a lie. We don't dislike DEI because it hires more minorities, we don't like it because it doesn't make any mathematical sense. You want to hire the best of the best and completely ignore race. If we hired on merit, mathematically it would reflect our racial demographics. We grew up with MLK Jr. saying to judge a man on his character, not his race. Growing up, none of our family was trans (mental illness), and you'd have an occasional gay guy. Now it has exploded, and all of us can smell the fishy situation and know it's a social contagion spread by institutions that are no longer interested in making our youth the best in math and English. The woke stuff is a new phenomenon and the young people know something is off. I didn't even know what trans was until I was 12. Now they're teaching it to little kids. That's why Trump won. The progressives made maximum progress when gay marriage became legal (literally peak society) and they have simply regressed from there. Women have dicks now? It's lunacy, no one is buying it anymore.
@@yoloyolo5183 I voted for the first time and overall I agree with your assessment for the most part, though I heavily disagree with the Democratic institution and Harris as a candidate. The DNC has demonstrated arrogance, complacency, and being out of touch by snubbing out internal critics and force feeding decisions that other Democrats had no hand in making. Primaries, outreach, and being receptive to criticism shows signs of adaptability, legitimacy, and change and the lack thereof within the 2024 cycle made the DNC come off as reactionary instead of revolutionary. But your final few sentences is the key aspect on all factions within the American political experience: we must be willing to be open minded and come together as Americans over any political dogma or party. Because I strongly detest Trump and his party, and I don't like what he has in store for our nation eitjer
It doesn't help that the disillusionment with the "white American dream" is NOT SOLELY an irrational backlash against loss of hegemonic dominance in society, but also stemming from increasing prevalence of antagonistic rhetoric against white people and masculinity in online leftist circles, in a culture hyper focused on identity politics and the correction of perceived social ills by actively and covertly advocating to take away the power enjoyed by the privileged groups. In such a context, figures like Peterson, Tucker, etc., only fuel the flames of resentment by leveraging ideological explanations to explain their societal and personal discontentment. The group that actually favored them in their political rhetoric, regardless of their true intentions.
If nothing else, it's the left's obvious vacuum to dedicate some favorable attention to the hegemonic group in their political conversation.
your long ass statement is part of the reason young white men may vote for right wing politicians. People are generally tired of hearing everyday about a partriachal society in which they were raised and how they are bad because they do not want change, yet all around them they can clearly see their mothers and sisters have equal rights to them.

As a Gen Z, I voted for Trump for the future of our country. It also makes me angry to see my generation not be able to afford homes of our own and still live with their parents. I want to see me and my own generation have homes and start families.
As a Gen-Zer, I want to also say that the economy had a big factor in this - at least from my perspective. The younger generations are looking to the future and are realizing that they want to be able to afford a house, a car, groceries, and gas. And, because the previous democratic presidents failed to give us this, but the one republican delivered and more, it's only reasonable that we would vote for the republican.
So u want high tarrifs and low tax? Nice inflation buddy watching this mess from over the pond
@@FootballClips101 I want to argue with you, but I think I'll enjoy the low taxes approaching me while using products made in the USA.
@@BennyCyanIII So you want prices to be increased and less government programs to help you economically? Interesting.
@@BennyCyanIII if you can't afford a house than you won't be enjoying those tax cuts lol
We live in a time being conservative is rebellious
It’s pretty much like how it was in the 80s. Things just swing each time.
The proper term is reactionary
Trump even sat down with THE Brothers of Destruction Kane and the Undertaker
I've been saying this! Gen Z is exponentially bigger than living Boomers and Gen X is a blip numerically.
Thank you, Gen Z!❤
Swing states is no longer swing states, they are lean RED
I think what is under mentioned is that after a true attempt on his life where most people would be still with shock he raises his fist and says fight. Honestly inspirational and I hope will be taught for centuries
I'm a young Gen-Zer(born 2009), so it wouldn't be until four more years that I got to really get into the voting sides of politics(rn I'm just spectating)
I'm an ass old Gen Zer, born '98. It's wacky and interesting to me that we count as the same generation.
All I can say is you'll need to stay strong and question what your teachers are telling, because they're really targetting younger Gen Zs with a lot of propaganda.
@@KLil37Ikr? 2006 here.
@@KLil37 I am later middle, 06. It looks like we both turned 18 on election years, did you vote for Trump in 16 or nah?
@@holtcompass3934 I've never voted for Trump, Hillary in 2016 cuz I was fear mongered by the media and third party every election cycle after that. Green party in 2020 and libertarian in 2024 to be precise. Don't take this to mean that I think Kamala would've been better tho, I think Trump is a better net positive for the country I just happen to live in a state where my vote doesn't matter.
I really can’t stress as a college kid how much an impact the Podcasts had on young voters.
Guys who didn’t care and almost certainly wouldn’t have voted watched these podcasts where they simply saw a President sit down and talk normally for 3 hours straight with casual dudes. No script, no cuts, no bullshit.
Meanwhile both Biden and Harris seemed to be unable to sit down for a 10 minute scripted interview with major news networks.
Gen Z is based
End wokeness! End neoliberalism! End hyperindividualism!
Yay Let's Go Gen Z (1995-2009) so awesome.
It's weird how Christianity and family values are now considered punk rock.
Don't forget the lefts inability to meme. The left/democrats are incredibly unchill which makes them especially unappealing for young men.
Not wrong lol. But the right can't help but be offended by everything.

I turned 18 just in time for this election, and I have no regrets.
Gen Z male here, we are tired of being vilified for simply being born a dude. We’re tired of being told what makes us a man is “toxic”.
Hey, I'm Gen-Z!
Like many who vote, it has a lot to do with my personal experience. I'm on the older side of Gen-Z so I was in college during COVID. I was in a particular economic status growing up where my family barely made enough money to put food on the table but made a little too much money to qualify for food stamps / free school lunches. I'm not in a minority group, I'm not female, and I don't identify as a different sexual orientation, but throughout my entire life every other group was given advantages through exclusive scholarships or affirmative action enrollment. In the microcosm of my short life, I think "Why can't my family get some help? What did I do wrong?" This, mind you, is coming from a guy back in 2016 would have voted for Bernie Sanders or Andrew Yang and that's because I don't want particular groups based on race or sexuality to get help necessarily, I want anybody that needs help to be able to get help.
Well affirmative action exists to combat the racism of America. I know it can seem unfair to a poor white person, but it is pretty necessary considering the amount of disadvantages they experience that you don't see.
@@thomasffrench3639 Are we about to hear the "institutional racism" argument?
@@WanderingLibertarian So you think that racism magically went away?
@@MovieDogg50 Of course not, I still exist
I see the gen z as: Sen Z
If Baron really was the one pushing his dad to go on podcasts, he won his dad the election
I think its just generally the fact he's talked about fixing the economy and we're tired of living in poverty. Kamala didn't stress enough how she planned to help with affordable housing, while majority of her ads were interviewing woman about the abortion issue, if it werent that it was the ad of those two guys sitting at the bar complaining about how trumps a bad guy. She should've really stressed the economic issues we're faced with in political ads, instead she focused on social issues that majority of us arent focused on when bills are destroying us. Trump KNEW how to speak to the youth
Trump didn't either. It's more that they are naïve about the economy.
Very surprised more young women voted for Trump this year than in 2022, 2016 and 2012.

I'm happy young people are finding something to believe in again.
i think it also has to do how democrats talk down on poeple alot. like they act like poeple are children. however trump talks like americans like they are human like him
Trump talks like a rich New Yorker. So no
If you were born in 2001, you have never known a world at peace or a good economy...

@@Wizardof those wack jobs. I miss when COVID didn’t drive them mad
Not pertaining to myself, but I think that a lot of young men hear terms like "toxic masculinity" and so on, from academia and the left, and think it's against them. Even if this is not the intent of the majority of the people who use terms like this, it nonetheless has alienated many men from these perspectives, going further into areas of thought that go against these notions.
I agree. They feel like the world is against them. I understand why they feel that way considering how it feels that everyone else is getting benefits that they don't, not to mention how the Democrats are Neoliberals, and they feel abandoned.
Gen Z here:
I never could fall in line with the liberal way of thinking. It was always the virtue signaling, wokeness, and the political correctness of it all that pushed me away. I was in High School during Trump's first term and life was simply better back than up until Covid. When Biden took office my life just wasn't as good, then the Afghanistan withdrawal happened as well as the left constantly screamed how if you didn't fall in line with their way of thinking, you were a neo-nazi, white supremacist, etc. Not to mention the cost of living is so high that as a blue-collar worker, I can't afford to live on my own, groceries are expensive, and gas prices are still above pre-covid levels. My vote for Trump was to try and bring back the administration the was in charge back when life was good, even with all of his baggage.
Hope you understand that it's not actually going to get better
So you punish Biden for COVID, but not Trump? Also supporting a guy who admires Hitler and threatens his enemies is not something that I am comfortable with treating with compassion.

I am a a young gen z. I have to libral parrents and live in rhode island and I love trump. It comes from the stupidity of the stuff I am lectred at school
I wish I went to a school were people liked him as much as I do ❤
I think there’s a typo in there, more like “How Gen V Won Trump the Election”.
Gen X, Milennial's and Z said it's time for a real change
Economy and border security was the two biggest issues for the people especially the past 3-4 years
It has been 8 years and the gen z saw how trumps term was and how the democrats term was and they chose the latter
If you’re saying they chose Trump over Kamala, you’d use the word former instead of latter.
Former comes first, meaning you’re referring to the first thing you mentioned (Trump’s term in this case). Latter comes later, which means you’re referring to the second thing you mentioned (Kamala’s term in this instance).
Bro Barron needs to make a RUclips channel ASAP.

By no means Gen Z played a significant part of the election, most can't even vote yet 😂
Gen z voters are those Born between 1997 and 2006. That means 18-27. So yeah we gen z can vote.
@josemanuel-mb6xs I said most. Did you not read the comment above? Proving that gen z can vote does not regard the insignificance
You said "most can't vote", despite a majority (hint, that means most) being over the age of 18 and so definitely able to vote. Maybe you're mixing us up with Gen Alpha, or you've become confused and think it's still 2016 or something.

21 and I voted for Trump in Michigan!!!!!!
What I really worry about is if the new generation ends up not believing in scientific ideas and critical thinking. Mindless populism gets you no where. It's how we got where we are now. Climate change denial, anti vaccine rhetoric, and not knowing how evil big corporations can be are my main fears. I hope with the lack of attention spans they can still weed out the rhetoric from both sides, but it's hard to say if that will come to fruition. Of course you have man o sphere propped up by leftists ostracizing men. We also have the fact Gen Z has dealt with the last few years in terms of inflation. I mean both sides are literally supporting an already failing status quo. Both being propped up by big businesses influencing our elections.
My guy, you just countered your own argument. You cannot say that one side "does not trust [x]," when that side that wants you to trust them is backed by, in large part, questionably moral corporations. Most of us recognize climate change, however the ways to get there on the left's side aren't correct (I mean, giving corporations large sums of money to get them to help change the government is very much questionable) and the right hasn't changed much, with their biggest argument being nuclear (whether moral/correct or not is up for interpretation). Plus, the left can't even decide when climate change is "irreversible" or "peaked out," with scientists and politicians spouting years out and them not coming to pass.
So, go figure that many don't buy into leftist rhetoric. Rightist rhetoric may not be perfect, but, to many, it is currently better than whatever predictions/ideas that demonized them from the leftist sphere.
Anti vaccine people are legit correct to question this stuff because of how manipulated the covid vaccines were and how much of the testing they rushed to release it. Literally the heads of FDA approved those vaccines and helped get it pass and just a few months later quit and got hired by the same companies that released the vaccines. If you can't see what has happened here then there is no hope. I took the covid vaccine but never again without making my own research. You can't trust FDA or the government clearly.
Put simply, our generation is being heard. Let’s hope to God that the old guard who’ve been in power no later then 1980 will go away in the coming years.
The Hitler Youth!
Im 21 and while I didn't vote for Trump, had I been a year older 4 years ago, I would have. I can't speak for anyone other than myself, but I grew up in a rural area, all my family members are Trumpers for the most part, and during COVID, 17 year old me had nothing to do but scroll. I ended up falling victim to the alt right pipeline right here on RUclips (which from what I've heard is a pretty common coming of age ritual for a lot of young men my age unfortunately), and it only amplified when the BLM protests/riots began. While I do still have some tendencies towards the right side of the isle I was able to come out of it due to my current gf and my younger brother (19) who somehow fell into the opposite rabbit hole (hes not as far into politics anymore, but he used to be an active Hasan viewer). Its scary how the alt right pipeline sucks you in, it started with wierd stuff like Jordan Peterson and Ben Shapiro and by the end of the summer I was researching the Great Replacement Theory.
Now I don't believe so many young men voted Trump just because they were radicalized, only that it could be a peice of the puzzle as to the shifting political views lf young people. I think young men feel left behind. They're graduating into an economy with little hope for economic stability under a system that is run by oligarchs. Democrats NEED to pay attention to the working class in a radical way in 2028. Bernie Sanders is most representative of what im looking for policy wise, but the Dems have unfortunately already agreed with the Republicans on the economy, not surprising when considering all these politicians are millionaires. It's just unfortunate that the majority of people are too ignorant to understand that the president doesn't have full control of the economy, and electing a billionaire isn't going to change the interest of big government in our favor.

Pretty ironic saying trump isn't scripted, bullshitty, or inauthentic right after the clip of him at McDonald's which was scripted and staged.
Otherwise, solid video, even as a Democrat, I was blind to see how much my generation had really swayed to the right, those podcast stats are crazy
That's a very critique. It was probably a bad tee-up for that comment, though I do believe that voters find him more authentic and less scripted than normal politicians (I also would be my life savings he went off script during the McDonald's gig)
He worked longer at McDonald’s than Kamala did 😂
