I think progressives never thought about this because we banked on immigration and demographic change allowing us to win culturally and electorally but the issue is immigrants tend to be overwhelmingly male, that is how Trump won actually he won over a lot of Hispanic,Black,Asian and indigenous men who feel humiliated by a new culture, economy and world.
So what can we do rhetorically and policy wise to win more young men over ?
I’m liberal and really enjoyed reading this comment. It might be one of the best ones I’ve seen on here. The part about microaggressions was spot on. This makes me wonder why I’ve never heard this perspective before? I wonder if people say this in mostly conservative forums, and I just don’t see it from my personal fish bowl? I’ve never heard it put quite like this. It’s almost as if it would have been useful for this position to be expressed earlier to educate people before all the frustration occurred.
