Summary

Despite his conservative platform, Donald Trump made unexpected gains among Gen Z voters. Exit polls showed a shift, with young men favoring Trump by 2 points, a reversal from Biden’s previous lead.

Gen Z’s support for Trump may have been underestimated, as an Axios poll found nearly half of Gen Z voters lied about their vote, with young men more likely to support Trump quietly.

Trump connected with young men through appearances on popular podcasts and endorsements from social media influencers.

Disillusionment with the economy and frustration with the Democratic Party’s approach to working-class issues also drove some Gen Z voters to seek change, with Trump capitalizing on these sentiments.

    Any woman who’s terrified by the results needs to adopt South Korea’s 4Ds policy. Let’s see how these incels like an even smaller dating pool.

      52% of white women voted for Trump. The Republican dating pool is large and won’t be affected by 4Ds.

      Leftist women joining 4D just means fewer LEFTIST relationships and fewer leftist families.

      It will be hilarious to see republican men complaining about women staying abstinent as a direct result of their attacks on women’s rights.
