For decades, the communist/globalist crime syndicate (democrat party) was seen as the party of the youth vote.
Election after election, 18–29-year-olds showed up at the polls, often in lagging numbers compared to other demographics, to throw their weight behind whatever left-wing politician was promising them the moon on any given day.
This from redstate.com.
Democrats are trying to understand why young men keep voting GOP. @matthewichoi & @merica recap findings from a focus group, with several saying Democrats don’t have a masculine politician (except for Obama) in today’s #TheEarlyBrief: https://t.co/PQc0Lf5XJU

The young-people vote was also seen as being a key part of the “demographics as destiny” movement on the Left, with the assumption being Republicans would wither away as younger generations aged.
The latest attempt at solving that equation involves a focus group conducted by a “centrist pro-[d]emocrat group” in several swing states. The implications of their findings are comedy gold, both because they show no easy path out of this for democrats and because they tend to miss the point in the process.
Recall, the Left notoriously mis-identifies problems and thus creates “fixes” that bring about worse problems.
So, what really happened?
Young men in swing states say the democrat party abandoned them:
[Having left] them feeling helpless in providing for their families as prices rose and jobs evaporated. They felt no sympathy from the [L]eft, who they say brushed away their legitimate economic woes by citing their male privilege. They acknowledge historical patriarchy but assert that doesn’t make them invincible in a job market where graduate unemployment is concentrated among men.
There is much to say about this, but the obvious truth is:
[Y]ou don’t appeal to young men by hiring ‘pro-Democrat’ consultants to poke and prod. There is no magical solution waiting to be revealed by a focus group and recognizing that would be the first step in the right direction for [the Left].
Regardless, We the People can see the contempt jumping off the page in how the focus group is summarized:
Despite claiming to want to understand young men more, phrases like ‘male privilege’ and “‘historical patriarchy’ are used to qualify their answers without a second thought.
And:
While the consultants appear to recognize those claims hold no relevance in 2025 (and have even been reversed), they still perform the [L]eft-wing ritual rite of talking down to young men and casually dismissing them.
That dynamic too is a big part of the problem, and it is not one that is going to change anytime soon. This next paragraph may very well be the perfect example:
Men feeling left behind elicits eye rolls in many corners of the [d]emocratic Party. The gender pay gap persists, with women making 85 percent of what men earned in 2024, despite greater female participation in the workforce than in past decades. The numerous calls from party leaders to appeal to the “manosphere” and appear less “woke” also elicit concerns that means throwing marginalized groups under the bus on issues like trans or women’s rights.
This is all nonsensical, yes? The Left is trying to figure out why young men hate them while at the same time they roll their eyes at their concerns. Why? Because it might mean “throwing marginalized groups under the bus on issues like trans or women’s rights.”
Newsflash:
Young men (and men in general) are the marginalized group in 2025. They are constantly berated as the bane of society. Meanwhile, [Leftists] spend much of their energy trying to appeal to mentally ill people who believe they can change their sex and purple-haired women who screech about fascism on TikTok.
The reality of the situation for Leftists is simple, and they do not need to pay consultants to figure it out for them. Having a political party that caters to the worst excesses of the far Left while also appealing to the majority of young men is not possible. The two are incompatible, hence this is a non-solvable equation. And what is worse, the Left unwittingly insist this nonsense is a correct answer and have blundered forth.
Beyond that incorrect equation, when the skinny effeminate queer from Kenya is your political party’s only “masculine” role model, your problem is worse than an incorrect equation.
[And yes] Obama was the only [d]emocrat whom focus group participants could name as a masculine role model from the party.
Final thoughts: Not to worry, fellow Conservatives. The Left will not change course in this or even the next generation. Example: At the end of the write-up on the above-noted focus group, Pete Buttigieg is cited as a “straight talker” who could bring young men back into the fold.
