Robert Sterling has an interesting post on X about this:

The left has no idea the monster they’ve created with Gen Z men. Absolutely no idea.
These guys spent their formative years navigating an unprecedented social experiment—COVID lockdowns; DEI struggle sessions; pronouns, micro-aggressions, land acknowledgements, intersectional justice—and, as a demographic, they simply snapped. They stopped fearing cancellation, they realized black marks on social credit scores don’t leave permanent stains, and they started owning—rather than futilely trying to defend against—the accusations of villainry they had suffered since young age.
It’s a wholesale reactionary movement against a political system—more than that, a culture at large—which, rightly or wrongly, they see as dedicated to their emasculation. A system that, in their view, creates little of value, affords them scant opportunity, celebrates that which is ugly and mediocre and profanes that which is sacred.
From the fires of this crucible is emerging the most right-wing generation I’ve ever seen. And from the unhinged group chats of today are emerging the legislators and congressmen of tomorrow.
The left has no idea what they have done, and they can’t imagine what the second- and third-order effects of this will be.
For those of you in Generation Z, do you get this sort of sense of a sentiment shift?
The melodramatics are painfully cringe, but the shift in sentiment is absolutely real.
The biggest surprise is the 14 point swing for young women towards republican. I’m very curious about the demographics there. You know it’s not black or Jewish women. Asian women in the west are notoriously radleft. Hispanic women? Maybe. But my money is on more young white women joining the tradthot grift.
I was predicting this a while back.
5 or 10 years ago identity politics greatly favored white women but for the past some years white women are behind black or minority women. They're still favored but women tend to be jealous of other women so it makes sense that they don't like the spotlight being moved on other women.
Similar with gay men, they had the focus for most of the LGBT movement since 2000 at least. Now they're the bottom (pun intended) of the LGBT2SAIPQ+ movement and we've seen a large portion of them voting Republican. I think it was something like 24% voted with Trump. Still not great but a lot more then expected.
I think a lot of the 14 point shift in women boils down to women who simply fall in line with their husband/boyfriend's political ideology. My wife voted for Clinton before we met then Trump twice after we got married.
