are major factors in what they are going to do moving forward, 2026, 2028.

Whoever can reach out to them and have credible leadership and give them stability, economic breathing room, those are things that these young men are looking for.

And then there is an element of foreign policy that lines up with all of this.

Younger men, especially Gen Z, are completely opposed to war.

And you know, Trump, the peace president, begging for the Nobel Peace Prize, promised them no new wars.

No new wars.

They grew up watching war after war, debt, instability, trauma, their friends coming back from war, absolutely devastated.

So when Trump broke the promise of peace by going to Venezuela, threatening Greenland, threatening Iran, all of this matters to Generation Z. It adds to their anxiety.

And we as Democrats need to capitalize on this.

Not by capitalizing or furthering the chaos.

We need to stop treating young men as this moral problem.

We need to stop treating them like they are this irresponsible class.

They are people that we can reach.

They're people that aren't rejecting our system of democracy.

They just are responding to fear and instability.

So what do we have to do?

We have to talk about reality in plain language.

We have to reach out to them about wages, about housing supply, rent stabilization, jobs, cost of living.

They don't need lectures about identity.

They don't need lectures about girls in a different locker room.
