Men Shift Right for Honor
- Democrats are losing support among young men, evident from the 54% support for Trump over Biden among men 18-29.
- Young men seek challenge and honor of manhood, rejecting labels of toxic masculinity from Democrats.
Engage Men Directly
- To reach young men, meet them where they are: at sports events, hunting trips, and community gatherings.
- Avoid talking down or holding luxury meetings; understanding requires direct engagement with men's real experiences.
Men Reject Democratic Weakness
