That's telling - but could there be more to it than economics? Granted, Joe Biden is underwater in the RealClearPolitics averages on key issues such as the
economy and immigration; it's not even close.
Young men in particular may have other reasons for shying away from Democrats, and those reasons aren't economic but social.
Young men in the United States have been labeled as misogynistic and sexist for at least a generation. The left shouts about
"the patriarchy," Biden's new
Title IX rules effectively remove due process from young men in academia who are accused of, well, anything. The left hammers young men with "
toxic masculinity" accusations when they show any signs of traditional masculinity at all. When it comes to traditional manhood, the left has come unglued, and it's likely that many young men are looking at the rather more muscular right and finding it copacetic.
To be sure, young people - young couples in particular - have to be looking at befuddled old Joe Biden and his Weekend at Bernie's Presidency for what it is - a sham - and looking at their career prospects, their chances of buying a home, their bank account balances, and seeing some reasons to vote Trump. But those aren't the only reasons, and this is another avenue which, if pursued, can only give Republicans a boost.
