  1. From the article: The young men who helped get Donald Trump back into the White House are now realizing they made a massive mistake, according to a Harvard polling expert.

    John Della Volpe, director of polling at the Harvard Kennedy School Institute of Politics, told Joanna Coles on Tuesday’s episode of the Daily Beast Podcast that “they are turning against him,” referring specifically to young men aged between 18 and 29 years old.

    “More younger people are concerned that Donald Trump is doing more harm to them than good. OK. That’s essentially what the report card looks like,” he told the Beast’s chief content officer.

    During the 2024 election, Trump won narrow margins in key battleground states after making an outreach to disaffected young men, using right-wing influencers and anti-woke rhetoric to secure their votes. “I believe younger people were responsible for putting Donald Trump in office to start with, specifically younger men,” Della Volpe said.

    However, he also suggested that these voters feel they have seen no return on the campaign promises made by Trump regarding the economy and other domestic concerns.

    “Younger people are quickly asking important questions like, ‘I thought this was going to improve my economic standing. What about me?’” said Della Volpe, who advised Joe Biden during his 2020 election campaign and worked with a PAC that tried to rally support for Kamala Harris in 2024.

    The economy has gyrated wildly under Trump, and his “Liberation Day” tariffs in April has seen the cost of imports to the U.S. surge, with the price being kicked down to the consumer.

  2. Harvard director of polling tells the Daily Beast… yeah, ok . That has to be legitimate 🤔😝

  3. Just another meaningless headline. I’ll believe it when I see it.

    Let’s see these young men out protesting with the grannies and grandpas (some circa WWII).

    They owe it to the elders that beat back fascism.

    Freedom is not free and requires the latest generation to fight for liberty, justice and democracy if they want to keep it.

    EDIT: 🤡👺🐓🌮for all you red hatted maggats that are considering flushing the turd, here’s a speech for you to consider the next time your sitting down eating a succulent meal that a cook in a restaurant establishment, who is likely an immigrant, made for you in the back kitchen. https://www.reddit.com/r/PritzkerPosting/s/0mS3c0gEvd

  4. “What about me?” Lmao! What about you?! His administration was NEVER going to be about you. Time to grow up kiddos.

  6. Young men are the ones that got Hitler into power before they went into the meat grinder and died.

    Hopefully Americans wake up before it’s too late.

  7. How much lead were in those disposable vapes again?

  8. These people haven’t changed at all. They voted for Trump out of selfishness and are upset when it doesn’t benefit them. They still don’t care about all the people being harmed. They will vote for him or GOP again.

  9. I guess I should remind myself that laughing in the faces of these wannabe alpha males might alienate them—they’re quite sensitive about things like that, after all.

    If only they cared as much about the lives they have helped to destroy.

  10. True patriots ensure the power is with the people… not one person, especially this corrupt. Toss the maga hats and get back to being a good neighbor

  11. Make them join a choir so they can sing Sorry, like those J6 weiners.

  12. I hope so. I doubt it. Everyone who voted from trump would vote for him again.

  13. I’m all for it but it doesn’t mean squat. We’ve heard this exact rhetoric throughout his political career and they still vote for him.

    I want him to go away as much as anyone, but the real danger is how they have been chipping away at the laws that protect us from a fascist takeover. We’re hanging by a thread.

  15. The mid-terms are gonna be interesting if the Democrats can engage voters

  16. Purely anecdotal, but just completed a monthlong car trip across I-80. Only saw one big Trump shrine, a Welcome to Trump Country sign painted on the side of an Iowa barn. I know that means little, but people zi encountered often seemed confused by or even disillusioned by Trump. I wore an SF Giants cap all the way to and back from NH. Got a few sideway glances, but never felt endangered. My question is, what did these young male voters expect in return for their votes? I’m unclear about that, since their motivation seemed grounded in rage or racism or misogyny

  17. I’ll believe it when someone posts a link to a video of any one such young man actually saying this.

  19. Doubtful. I still see tons of maga hats and trump stickers all over cars around here.

    Another meaningless copium headline.

  20. Doesn’t matter for two reasons. First, they already voted for him and he’s going to be in power for the next four years. Given the general uselessness of the democrats I’m not expecting the midterms to fix anything. Second, regretting Trump is fine, but regretting Trump doesn’t mean they wont just vote for the next MAGA-esque Republican in 2028.

  21. We all need to unite to stop all this madness. Do it for your family so they can have a better future. None of this king shit.
