Young men are very optimistic about the future, Link. And I think it's pretty self-evident that it's because partially of the rollback of DEI and gender ideology, which are institutional barriers to their success. That's a fact, right? If you have gender quotas, that means that some very competent white cis males might be overlooked for a job that they're qualified for.

And I speak of this as a triplet with two brothers who who are my age, so Gen Z guys that are in the workforce right now. And I've noticed their attitude over the last four years of Biden's shift to serious pessimism about their prospects in America. Economic mobility, dating relations, it's all been degraded severely because of the left.

And their reaction to that, I think they wanted to give the Democrats a chance to persuade them, but the demonization made it impossible. And so the right is the only one welcoming them with open arms and telling them, by the way, your fears and your concerns are valid. And we are going to legitimize your manhood, which is not toxic, by the way. It's actually not. It's it's a blessing.

It's the cornerstone of a functioning society, your masculinity. And I think that's what we're seeing in the polling is that young men are shifting right dramatically. And Democrats continue to push them further and further away.

Well, and don't forget, Link, that under the Obama administration, there were those Title IX witch hunts on college campuses that effectively killed due process for young men who were accused of sexual assault. So they were assumed to be guilty from the get-go without there actually being a process of justice to determine whether they had actually committed what was alleged.

So that generated, I think, quite a lot of resentment in young men. And to your point about Me Too, that has translated in the dating world to... Skepticism from both sexes towards each other and men being afraid to be chivalrous because it might be misconstrued the wrong way. This is the legacy of leftism. It's literally tearing down gender dynamics in real time in college campuses.

And you and I are both Gen Z, Link. You know that authenticity is our currency. We want relatability more than anything. So when I think back to how Tim Walz, again, just... pandered to young men with these belittling archetypes. It's him in camo gear, haphazardly loading a hunting rifle while he's LARPing as Larry the Cable Guy.
