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.
If, and thats a big if, we ever have elections again. Democrats need to stop trying to build bridges. The reds will never reach back across the aisl3. Ever.
But they have everything now and a corrupt supreme court to rubber stamp any constitution-breaking bullshit they’re going to pull. N 2026, they’ll martyr the orange buffoon to let their controllable puppet Vance become president. He’ll use this “tradgedy” to declare martial law and cancel elections. They won’t willingly give up power agajn.
They need to rebuild the ones they destroyed with their base.
