I think progressives never thought about this because we banked on immigration and demographic change allowing us to win culturally and electorally but the issue is immigrants tend to be overwhelmingly male, that is how Trump won actually he won over a lot of Hispanic,Black,Asian and indigenous men who feel humiliated by a new culture, economy and world.

So what can we do rhetorically and policy wise to win more young men over ?

  • Quit trying to make young white men feel guilty for existing. I come from poor white trash. As near as I can tell, my family never benefitted from slavery in any possible way. So fuck you. I dont feel bad about something I didn’t do, no one in my family did, and we aint gonna pay for it.

      I don’t know where this “white guilt” stuff comes from. I’m the same demo as you, but never felt that.

      The world is not America - so how come this is an issue in other places?

      This white guilt argument just doesn’t hold up to any scrutiny and is just nazi propaganda. Let’s be honest here.
