No. young white men who don't want to compete and are being told by their parents that they are better than others with no tangible indicators of that will continue to vote republican in an attempt hold onto their privilege
A huge factor that no one wants to talk about is sexual frustration. Its leading many young men to gravitate toward right wing ideologies to explain away their misfortunes in the sexual/dating market.

This is the "why did the white working class abandon the Democratic Party" shyt, and I'll state the obvious:
Social issues. Simple as that.
And dumbasses and democrats are gonna try and placate and coddled these fukking idiots.

An article I read a few months ago I read a NPR article that said Biden was doing well with White Male Milleneal voters. Not sure how much it's changed since Harris has been involved. But there's studies that have shown that Gen Z men are getting more right and Gen Z women are getting more left.
IMO that's why I think the Dems are banking on the abortion issue HARD because women came out to win the election for Biden in 2020 and they see that as a key to victory in 2024 since Republicans have fumbled the abortion issue. Thing is that isn't a huge of an issue to men who are suffering more economically than their previous generations.
Most "incels" vary across the political spectrum. Not all of them are gravitating towards the Trumps and Tates of the world though.
Liberal culture loves demeaning young men, you can’t attract men when you keep pushing the narrative that they’re the problem even while they’re falling further behind

I agree with this. A lot of right wing men I have the displeasure of knowing who generally wouldn't have grown up in a household that fostered those views are losers who can't get no ass. I think the age of the internet has destroyed people's social skills so they have a hard time with talking to women.

I find that most incels in it's proper definition lean to the right.

Funny thing is EVERYONE who doesn't own assets are suffering and will continue to suffer until wage growth catches up to inflationary growth. But that can't happen if companies continue to price gouge consumers at every turn. These young men are voting right thinking that Republicans will return economic and social conditions to those their parents enjoyed when in reality they'll just make the current situation worse.
For us as citizens the obvious solution is to make more money by any means possible but when the whole country is on that mindset it leads to lower levels of life satisfaction or even burnout/quitting. So many Gen Z men have given up on trying to keep up now that it's ridiculous. There's a lonely hopelessness epidemic among young men and the right is exploiting that effectively
