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 ?

    You can’t have a post like this and then wonder “Why do so many men go to the right?”

    Maybe men are sick of being painted with a broad brush. We all have our own thoughts, beliefs and feelings.

        Let me clarify: I am not advocating to join the right. I am furnishing an explanation why SOME men join the right. Like I said in my earlier post, it’s very sickening to be painted with such a broad brush. Some of us are moralistic and considerate and it’s annoying to just be treated as a monolithic entity. “You are a man, therefore you are evil” reeks of original sin. I prefer to be judged by my own deeds instead of the deeds of those I share a gender with.
