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.

This is of the people who voted. I wouldn't be surprised if the non voting population was a significant number.

That’s a fair point. 18-24 year olds only accounted for 17% of the vote. Many of them sat out.

Absolutely, tens of millions easily.

That's what happens when, no matter who gets elected, your life gets worse. You decide not to miss out on a badly-needed day's pay in order to vote for someone who treats you like dog poo under their boot.
