"Maybe it’s because so many young men feel bullied, belittled, or disregarded in their own lives. And they see Trump as someone they know will never make them feel this way."
Respectfully, Donald J Trump IS the perennial bully, dressed up in a business suit, that all little boys have ever had to stand down.
Any young man who feels that Trump understands him, empathizes with him, or will stand up for him is regrettably disillusioned, possibly misinformed, and hopelessly misdirected.
Bullies who get elected or appointed to the highest offices across the nations often leave legacies of harm, disrespect, inhumane behavior; and mostly they produce deeply embedded distrust into the systems they are employed to protect and steward.
Four years is a short season in light of eternity. Here on earth, four years can feel like an eternity.
But, as America has proven time and again, we The People will learn once again, we will vote locally, regionally, and nationally, and we WILL ultimately change our world for the better.
Despite the bullies and tyrants, and insecure little boys and girls who in fact -- really just need a hug.
God help America. We promise to Be better and Do better.
Trump is a bully, I agree. But there's a real sense in which these young men aren't served by the Democratic Party either, and are voting for demagogues who at least make them feel good.
Trump is not an ally of men. He got his tax cuts through the reconciliation process at least in part by moving alimony from pretax to posttax, meaning you now have to pay for it from whatever's left over after taxes.
Still, I think there's a sense in that while *Trump* is obviously punching down (he's president-elect), these young guys may not be. While there are definitely things like abortion that disfavor women, a lot of young men have an uphill battle to be promoted in our modern corporate system (especially as the guys at the top are male and are trying to protect their positions by throwing their less-privileged brothers to the wolves), can't approach for relationships in public, forcing them to go to apps whose downsides are well-documented, and are constantly told that they're evil because of who they are, which is leading to what you're saying.
Trump and MAGA as a start was ended the DEI programmes that disfavour men. More and more companies are going away from that.
Having him elected has also ended programes like gender quotas that exist in more feminazi countries like Europe. You have brougth 15 to 20 years of not being discriminated against. Thats good.
We feel that even in Europe.
Also, Trump winning has sent a clear message that you cannot treat men as the left was doing. Men may not protest on Men's Day, but they vote. Trump winning has changed the narrative from "we need to take care only about women" to "be careful of men". That show that men, as a group, has also political leverage.
Also, Trump is a vinudcation of masculinity. A confrontation with beta Wolf. Why women can be girly bosse and men have to be kind and soft? This narrative has ended. Masculinity trails have prevailed over a feminized view of the politics.
Finally, Trump will cut public spending and taxes. That benefits men more, as they are less reliant on public budget.

I’m a man and a staunch Democrat, and I’m looking forward to the day when those of us who support men AND women can reclaim the image of the party in the minds of the general public. It didn’t have to be like this.
There is a long way in the US to go. More discrimination was on the way: comoulsory gender quotas for women, maternity leave, special taxes for women...
You are not Democrat. You support the lower class. And rigth now, this is supporting the Republicans.
Males are in the top and bottom possitions. They have the best and the worst. That IS what Democrats fails to see. This is not a Patriarchy. Its a GYNOCENTRIC Patriarchy, which is different.
Surveys have shown that university males have said they would rape a woman if they could get away with it. This indicates an instinctive drive in young males to procreate as much as the species can. They play violent video games that are the same as what is used to desensitize men for being effective killers in battle, which another instinct for survival if under lethal threat; they are not taught respect in the real world (and this is from all directions); and they have few real role models other than media heroes that always win with mostly spectacularly violent or sideways kinds of means. The pressures on young men to be strong and smart and to always have to compete for jobs and for status; the lack of freedom to express emotions; the far too common lack of good physical exercise that has a purpose: all of these I believe contribute to a crisis in who are our men. Women will always be seen as the "weaker" sex since men do measure status by the above. And our loss of small towns and churches that mean few how have close extended or community inter-generational patterns of behaviour from childhood makes it hard for everyone to not feel overwhelmed and too stressed by trying to figure out how to parent and hold a stressful job and buy all that we are shown we need to buy. A man like Trump who does not worry about anything (on the surface--just don't read his twitter/X accounts from the middle of the night!) and seems to fear nothing looks like a true heroic kind of guy who can offer a (false) sense of security--identify the enemy and get rid of it!!
All I can hope for is that as they age wisdom and a deeper understanding of governance comes to pass.
My daughter faced many instances of crappy behavior of some boys during K-12. Second guessing her abilities, treating her as a baby, acting like she wasn’t even present in the room, speaking over her (and others). She was in both the AP/IB and Tech program — it occurred in both programs.
The boys will be boy’s attitude is still strong—people laugh it off. That attitude, really is letting boys be jerks with no consequences for their actions. Only men and boys can stop bad behavior by calling it out—it seems if a woman or girl calls put bad behavior it is some kind of awful experience.
And yes there are equally toxic behaviors by girls : we call them mean girls.
It’s the behavior that is bad, not the people. Assuming they are willing to listen, understand and change.
Two local examples the clearly show how certain young men and boys have no respect for women.
1. College man installs secret cameras in women’s showers in dorm. Records hours of footage.
2. Two young teen boys use public photos of female friends and classmates to but their faces on pornography. Over 50+ girls—they knew. They went to class with everyday. And some of them were their “friends”.
As a men's rights activist, you would feel this way. I'd encourage you to stop blaming things on a nebulous "left" - whatever that is. Destructive behaviors by some men have been around forever, and "traditional masculinity" (I'll assume you mean Leave it To Beaver-world of the 1950s) didn't stop some men from beating their wives, raping women, or treating women poorly. My mother went to law school in the '70s when she was in her early 30s a young man in is 20s told her she didn't deserve to be there and was taking the seat from a man. That is not positive masculinity - I prefer that term to "traditional" masculinity because traditional sex-based roles haven't provided women with a lot of autonomy.
I'm all for positive masculinity (kind, humble, protective, supportive, and encouraging) - I'd describe the men in my life with this term. Some of my daughter's experiences with her male classmates show that their parents do not promote positive masculinity, and their sons have learned destructive behaviors that many call "toxic."
I can lead you to toxic feminity as well. 100s of examples like "the kids are mine because I give birth to them" sentence that my brother's ex wife said before making a false allegation in court. Fortunally, my brother was found not guilty of the 5 years prision false allegation, after 2 years of a nigthmare. Or women killing babies at a higer rate than males, not to mention abortion.
The curios things is that when you point to males doing wrong, its because of toxic masculinity. But when females are doing wrong is a rare aisolated case and not toxic feminity...
Of course there were bad men. Exactly because of that there was masculinity as a limitation of their power. The Gentlemen against the barbarian. Was 100% effective? Certaintly not: as effective as It is now. There are more rapes now than there were 50 years ago.
Curiosly, females are trying to define males. But the reality is that bad behaviour is not being reduced. This proves that It is not linked with cultural traits but with the simple fact that men are stronger than women, and hence, more capable to do grong things.
Meanwile, in the non masculine world male suicide has peaked. If that was liked to toxic masculinity, why suicides are not lower now? Why persist the suicide gender gap? Why Turkey has less suicide gender gap than Sweden?
The theroy of toxic masculinity has proven wrong. And the current world IS not safer for women nor for men.
In fact, by destroying masculinity values you have created significant problems. 1. Lack of kids and a demogrfic catstrophy 2. Lack of male receuiters at the army. 3. A rampamt pandemic of isolation and solitude (more in women than in men).
You mention bullying to your dugther. Sorry about that. But evidence shows that Girls bully Girls too. In a more psicological and subte way, but bullying at the end.
Why when women do wrong things is not toxic feminity? Curios about that...

Good. We have Trump for a long time.
If Trump does do the revenge list
The midterms will be a bloodbath for Republicans
Don’t take the bait
The far left are COUNTING on it.
If Trump takes Greendland, the bloodbath will be for the Democrats
Winning was the only point in the revenge list. Changing the values is enougth... For the time being.
You have him for 4 years, at least 2 of which are likely to be after a midterm election, which often swing to the other party.
And God only knows what the Democrats are going to do when they retake power in 2028...they understand the system a lot better.

More?
You have excellent points. I still don't like Trump, but this is an aspect of him I hadn't thought of before. Thank you!
The fuck is this shit? UNSUBSCRIBE.

This is the result of feminizi policies. Boys are now more aware of their power and has little limits.
Thats why tradicional masculinity (the concept the left killed) was better.
Masculinity IS not you are stronger than women: yes, we are. Thats biology.
Masculinity was about using that superior capabilities for the good: dont kick women, protect women. Work hard to become a good provided.
The left has destroyed what made men good. Now, women are worst than eve. The left will have to live with the consequences.

If you have to request you not be identified, you know you’ve voted for the wrong candidate.
That could easily apply to someone fighting against a dictatorship.
