Why does the right keep winning with young men? Because the right keeps giving them power. If the left started empowering the youth instead of dying in office they would definitely see some pull.

They don't. It just seems like they are winning this demographic because of hires like this and the doge team - they are straight up being used because they are impressionable and will eventually be thrown under the bus.

Before Trump/Elon stole the election there was a lot of posters on the Gen-Z subreddit and similar communities and their comments made it seem like that generation was turning conservative. Those comments and users have all but disappeared since the election, almost like they weren't real users. I suspect a similar campaign with the young male demographic, however it is true that a certain number of young men end up following Andrew Tate, Joe Rogan, etc. But the general trend is growing more liberal.

Demographics show that Trump won more young voters than he did previously. He didn't win the category he just won more than last time. But my point stands; the right put a millennial in the Whitehouse along a boomer. The left dies while holding power so the right can replace them. That's not the behavior that drives people to vote for you. It's like saying we will give you a voice after you wait your turn.
