Also the right has a better capture of the online sphere. All these influencers and YouTubers are pretty protrump/right wing more than not.

Leftist politics is in their mind for nerds and pussies. It's not as fun.
I've heard some people complain about RFK and MAHA because of the crazy changes he wants to make to many health departments, but when you have a meme where you see the director of health, a fat trans woman that looks unhealthy and for better or worse RFK who looks like a fit and healthy masculine man, you can see the right wing is leveraging social media to get the younger generation

I saw an article about this low key ten years ago. I think it goes in cycles the alphas might be more progressive in the future it’s still too early to call

I think this concept is overstated (Republicans gained across most groups), but the left not having a Joe Rogan equivalent or big presence in masculine spheresis really hurting them in terms of picking up male voters in their teens through 30s. Especially weird ones.

She's saying that the writing was on the wall in terms of Gen Z voting more conservative and behaving more conservative.

Gen Z parties less, they have been on the no drinking trend, they have started these trad wife aesthetics, etc. Us Milleneals are seemingly more liberal than them which is wild.

She didn't touch on much about how Gen Z men are moving more right though because I'd argue that Gen Z women aren't much different than Milleneal women too much in terms of being liberal but definitely the boys.

I don't think drinking is a liberal thing necessarily. My sister is very liberal and barely drinks because she prefers weed and psychedelics.

Perhaps we'll have to live under an authoritarian Christian nationalist fascist regime for a while before things change. Us millennials have lived through a recession and 2 wars caused by republican leadership.
A lot of Gen Z doesn't truly know what far-right conservatism eventually leads to. They like the aesthetic but once our civil liberties are eroded and life gets harder they'll see it isn't all it's cracked up to be.
The problem is no one on the left is "cool" and speaks to the many issues Gen z is facing in a way that's relatable. And right wing billionaires have bought off many content creators to push right wing narratives on a 24/7 basis. Gen Z lacks the media literacy to know that they're being propagandized by right wing billionaires and are extremely gullible. If you've spent any time around them you'll know what I'm talking about. A lot of them are easily manipulatable and don't think on their feet as quickly as previous generations. Being raised on social media has taken away their ability to think critically.

Joe Biden hurt the left's image by not taking some of those pics seriously. Rachel Levine and Sam Brinton are like South Park characters

No its not liberal at all. I know super hippy chicks that don't drink and they are lefty. Just saying it's an interesting turning point in lifestyle of gen z which can be indicative of something bigger.

this is where the left pushing out black men shot them in the foot. We could help make leftist politics "cool" again and bring the focus on economics and away from lgbt shyt/culture wars. a lot of prominent white dudes in media on the left come across as soft or part of the coastal elite

They would also benefit from masculine Latinos (a demographic that their support is collapsing amongst). The prominent Latino men among the Dems are kinda effeminate, and most of the prominent sexy Latinas in politics are crazy right wingers.
