There is a big difference in the messaging to young men by both the parties.
Republican - “You’re going to have a job, a house, a wife and kids, and all you have to do is work hard and you can live the American Dream”
Democrat - “You are the oppressor and need education on why men and white people are bad”
You can see how one is more appealing than the other, especially to those who don’t pay much attention to politics and maybe only hear a 30s political clip on social media once a week.
Disclaimer: not saying these are actually the alignments/messaging, just major annecdotal perceptions I have heard from people who describe themselves as “not a Democrat” and asked them “why not?”
