"My Gen Z cousins are OBSESSED with masculinity. Who they're sleeping with, how much money they're making, how many guns they own, and they're constantly trying to top each other. I think conservatives recognized this group of insecure guys and really tapped into their fears of being perceived as less masculine and their interests."
"Now, keep in mind that there are a lot of factors for this. There's not one cause. But as a high schooler, I really think that the cause for a lot of far-right shifts is the current mentality in and out of schools. A lot of how kids think about new and scary concepts is through jokes, and that's fine, but if we give that too much of a platform in middle school, suddenly, it's all over the place in high school."
"Amongst Trump's voters, I think it is a serious question of how many actually like the guy versus how many poked him with a 10-foot pole only because their faith in establishment politicians, Democrat and Republican alike, is that much worse. Sure, Trump is a loose cannon at best, yeah he'll probably blow up in our faces, but he is the only cannon available to fire their growing pile of grievances on the ivory towers of DC."
