Gen Z Political Polarization: Gender Dynamics

This chapter explores the evolving political landscape of Gen Z, focusing on the significant gender gap in presidential preferences. Young women are aligning more with the Democratic Party, while young men express feelings of ideological homelessness, increasingly finding themselves drawn toward conservative narratives, particularly around Donald Trump's MAGA movement. The discussion examines how societal perceptions of masculinity and economic challenges influence young men's political affiliations and engagement.
