Massdriver Posted October 10 Share Posted October 10 Just a moment... WWW.POLITICO.COM Inside Trump’s push to win over the ‘bro’ vote Quote Trump’s immersion in “bro” culture began in the aftermath of the 2020 election and the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, when the defeated Trump was being spurned by the political class. In response, his team came up with an idea, according to a person familiar with the conversations: Redefine him as the pop culture figure he had been before he entered office, and have him appear in non-political settings and before non-mainstream media outlets.

SaysWho? Posted October 10 Share Posted October 10 What we could be saying after the election: It should have been obvious that Trump's appeal to "bros" was going to be Kamala's downfall. It should have been obvious that Trump's appeal to non-white working class males was going to be why he won. It should have been obvious that Kamala's incredible advantage with women, who vote at a higher percentage and are greater in number, was going to be why she won. Because we're guys, we didn't realize how many women have been pissed off since the Dobbs decision that took away their rights. It should have been obvious that Kamala's ads on gaming sites and targeting the male vote was going to be Trump's downfall. It should have been obvious that reminding people of the chaos under Trump was going to bring people over to Kamala. It should have been obvious that Jan. 6 and conspiracy theories would sink Trump since he already lost once. It should have been obvious that immigration was a driving factor that allowed Trump to win. It should have been obvious that the new voters registering who were mostly young and people of color would not be counted in the polls. It should have been obvious that the swing state polls were never totally in Kamala's favor, which is why Trump won. It should have been obvious that the swing state polls were never totally in Trump's favor, which is why Kamala won. It should have been obvious that polls undercount Republican votes. It should have been obvious that the guy who correctly predicted Trump's 2016 win was right when he said Kamala would win. It should have been obvious that inflation, though not Biden's fault, was going to fuck over Democrats. It should have been obvious that the stories about Trump's lack of a ground game that Republicans panicked over led to his loss. It should have been obvious that the stories about Kamala not doing enough rallies (or not doing enough interviews) was going to doom her campaign. It should have been obvious that Oprah is too powerful to stop. It should have been obvious that Taylor Swift is too powerful to stop. It should have been obvious that voter enthusiasm would be down for Trump after running three times in a row. It should have been obvious that people viewed Trump as too old to be president. It should have been obvious that people connected to Walz's and Harris's message about Trump/Vance being weird, with the "Thanksgiving dinner" message resonating with Giuliani's own daughter. It should have been obvious that America wouldn't vote for a felon since they didn't vote for a woman in 2016 who they thought maybe could possibly potentially be one. Not a doubt in my mind that we'll be saying a few of these in some form. At least now that hurricane anxiety is over for me, I can focus on election anxiety a little better. 1 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Signifyin(g)Monkey Posted October 10 Share Posted October 10 10 hours ago, Massdriver said: Just a moment... WWW.POLITICO.COM Inside Trump’s push to win over the ‘bro’ vote I don’t even think it’s necessarily just the ‘bro’ vote. What Trump is latching onto is a broad emerging trend of young women moving left and young men (and especially young non-college educated men) moving, in comparative terms, right. Just a moment... WWW.AXIOS.COM I think this could be the broader social cleft that could define the coming era of American politics. The coming cohort of male Gen Z’ers will embrace, along with a critical mass of their older Gen X peers, a more conservative, illiberal strain of male-oriented, chauvinist politics dressed up as ‘populism’ or ‘nationalism’ or ‘MAGA’—while their female counterparts will embrace the liberal cosmopolitanism/internationalism associated (for now) with the Democratic Party. You can already see the former philosophy emerging, in a more mature form, in the nascent cohort of post-Trump Trumps—I’m thinking in particular of guys like Ramaswamy, whose whole thing was about ‘uplifting men’. After all, MAGA is well-calibrated to appeal to men in a society where their traditional stranglehold on power is being challenged by the rising influence and wealth of liberated women. “Remember when you were in charge and could do asshole bro-ish stuff without being criticized? Let’s go back to that.” To women, (obviously) not so much. Harris’s whole “we’re not going back” mantra is what speaks to them. Stack on top of that a growing educational divide—because, hey, who loses the most in a knowledge economy dominated by the college-educated professional class and its teeming ranks of liberated women? The non-college educated working class male. It’s no coincidence that ‘Big Tech’ is a big MAGA boogie man; the men who are best off right now are all working in tech, or at least working *with* it, and it’s hard to land the best tech gigs without a college degree. That might be what Trump’s political legacy ends up being, if he doesn’t get reelected and overturn American politics altogether. While I wouldn’t call him a ‘symptom not a cause’—that would downplay just how sociopathic and destructive he truly is—I would say he is *symptomatic* of trends that are not going away, and are likely to set the terms of politics for at least a generation. But, I would also note that, as I've mentioned before, there’s a broader technological context that’s reinforcing these trends. Trumpism is not just male—it is also paranoid and angry. It’s not just non-college educated—it is dismissive of the outside world. (Hence "fake news") And that comes from social media, its algorithmic reinforcement of ‘the paranoid style’, and the info-bubbles and echo-chambers it creates. I think Trump has only been able to get to 50% approval by way of social media completely replacing traditional media. It was a long-developing trend, but it’s reached critical mass in the past 10 years, and IMO it is this election in particular that signals the takeover is complete. It’s why nothing changes the polls—only truly exceptional events get past the info-bubble’s filter. Much of the 50% of the population that supports Trump simply doesn’t process all the crazy shit he does—the info-bubble either doesn’t inform them of it, or codes it as ‘fake’. That’s why, as classically American a figure as Trump is, you’re seeing similar figures showing up in Hungary, Turkey, Russia, etc. He’s one head on a global hydra that’s pushing back against globalization and liberalism, and the destabilization of traditional norms and categories it has created, empowered by a breakdown of the old infrastructure for disseminating information, and its replacement by one that naturally drives populations towards greater balkanization and extremism. TL;DR for everyone who doesn't have the time or energy to wade through the preceding paragraphs: MAGA men vs modern women will define the next political paradigm, social media is ascendant and pouring fuel on the fire, and it's very possible the crazy's just getting started. 2 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
