This is not my personal opinion, I know Gen Z men who voted for Harris. But the voter demographics really speak for themselves, and maybe now people will look at the radicalization of young men as a serious (but solvable) issue.

Thatā€™s a pretty ignorant way to overgeneralize about a whole generation. I hoped I was leaving this kind of bullshit behind on reddit.

Every flag-emoji in a userā€™s profile name is a red-flag for a different mental illness.

But this is pure scapegoating. Even the most straightforward read on the turnout demographics tells us where the problem is.

Trump won the White People.

Trump was expected to dominate the white vote. Hispanic voters were expected to be way more blue tho, especially after the recent ā€œporto reekoā€ fiasco. I read that Hispanic males tended to prefer Trump but women liked Harris. The geography stats are unsurprising - more dems live in urban areas and more repubs in the smaller towns and wide open spaces. The huge surprise is that younger voters are so evenly divided. Maybe Iā€™m just used to the constant noise on reddit that blames Trump on boomers. Now it will probably shift to ā€œBuT ThEy GoT HiM StArTeD!ā€

All projections Iā€™ve seen show Trump being below the number of votes Biden got in 2020, and Harris below what Trump got in 2020. The population grew by about 6 million people during that time. Overall the total voters should have increased, yet the number of votes decreased. That just tells you people stayed home.

Just curious, do we get these breakdowns from exit polling or some other source?
