“In the coming days, much will be written about working class concerns — issues that have become familiar focal points for those seeking to understand Trump’s support. But while inflation and border policies will have no doubt played a role in the Republicans’ landslide victory, we might also want to look at the sentiments expressed by young male voters — voters who represent a new and emerging contingent in American politics. Nothing about the young men I spoke to appeared particularly conservative or ‘right-wing.’ Yet it was easy for them to explain why they voted for Trump. And if we zoom out and look at broader cultural trends, it should be easy for us to understand too.” (11/06/24)
