I think it's one of many ways that young men and women are diverging. So they're voting differently. They're going to college at different rates. They're going to church at different rates. Young men are becoming more religious compared with young women.

That's really new. Young men's labor force participation is stagnant while young women's is surging. Young women are more likely to be partnered. There's just so many ways in which their life paths seem to be diverging.

I interviewed a lot of young male Trump voters before and after the election, and they did indeed say that they shared liberal positions on lots of social issues like abortion or LGBTQ rights.

They also said they weren't voting on those issues because they felt they were sort of taken care of, that abortion was now left to the states, that LGBTQ rights had more or less been achieved in their point of view. The economy, though, was their big issue. And what they meant by that was that they had been brought up believing that their role in society was to

But I think what the Trump campaign offered is it spoke directly to these men. Several young male Trump voters who said, he talks like us. He talks like we do on a construction site. And they said to me, look, I don't like his sexist talk. I don't like the way that he denigrates people. But He does just talk like a normal person. He talks like one of us.
