Trump's win can be significantly attributed to the manosphere, a collection of male influencers shaping young voters' perceptions and engagement in the political landscape.
In the last weeks of his campaign, Trump leveraged influential podcasts and streams, presenting himself as relatable while simultaneously mythologizing his persona to attract a younger audience.
These media appearances not only helped humanize Trump, but they also allowed him to normalize and launder his extremist views, resonating with listeners in an unfiltered environment.
The podcasts and streams facilitated Trump's outreach to millions, particularly targeting young, apolitical voters who often rely on social media for news rather than traditional outlets.
