Gen-X men got him elected. As a white man in his 40s, I’m disgusted. After moving out of the city, I just can’t converse with most of the white men my age. The majority of my friends are now younger than me or POC.
It's my understanding that a lot of Gen-Z men backed Trump as well. Can't say I understand the appeal he has to the younger crowd.
Perhaps some introspection is in order. If feminists can't figure out how to coexist with others, without turning everything into a battle, then they're ultimately going to prove to the world that they have no business at all being anywhere near power. Frankly, women have been given a great deal of autonomy in western civilization recently, and have set themselves to the task of burning everything down. It's not at all a good look, and how the younger generation sees you should be a wake up call.
Autonomy is not "given."
It is when you're still so deep inside the system mentally that you require products to facilitate your lifestyle. If you want to know how to be free without relying upon society to grant you that privilege, you should look into this cool guy from Roman times named Jesus.
Yeah, Jesus would send you lot straight to hell.
Look I never do this, but... 🤮
And seriously... if you're trying to be a "good Christian witness"... this is not the way.
Not even really Christian, but he still provides a great example of what it actually means to live in this world. Too many people want freedom, but don't want to give up the luxuries that others provide for them. Frankly a lot of Christians don't get that part of the message either.
