Gen Z commit to ‘canceling out’ their MAGA parents votes in new TikTok trend (www.independent.co.uk)

Summary

Ahead of the 2024 election, Generation Z has sparked a trend on TikTok, “canceling out” family members’ votes by voting opposite their Trump-supporting relatives. Many young women post videos showing them voting for Democratic nominee Kamala Harris, contrasting with family members supporting Republican nominee Donald Trump.

Although Gen Z voters lean slightly toward Harris, a significant portion supports Trump. With over 47 million early votes cast, polls show a tight race, especially in key swing states.

That said, when men were losing their jobs they got told “learn to code” by callous and shitty journalists and women’s rights activists. It’s not hard to see why men are abandoning liberal governments that blame them for everything even while they are experiencing statistically worse outcomes with each successive generation.

I will say, we'd never be in this mess if we didn't have the Twitter crowd claiming Masculinity and Whiteness are sins in and of themselves.

Tell a white man he's evil cause he's a white man, and he'll gladly side with someone who admits to being racist.

I mean yes but it's more than just feelings and hateful people on Twitter:

the death of many careers that men primarily occupied without any plan to deal with it
the changing of education into a format that doesn't work well for men
systematic sexism that is denying men opportunities in education and work that started as benevolence towards women, but when younger women started to displace men and make more money than them, feminists applauded it and demanded even more for the sake of revenge

And when you talk about this as a man you get exactly the kind of replies I got, or worse. This is how you drive men right.

Pretty much.
