Part 2/9:
A recurring theme is the erosion of support among certain demographic groups, notably white men, especially younger white men, along with younger Latino and African-American men. The decline in enthusiasm within these key voting bases is seen as a critical vulnerability for Democrats.
One insightful comment came from a politician who described the challenges at town halls, noting that many young white men are drawn more by the spectacle and entertainment than policies. The “circus” around figures like Donald Trump appeals to their craving for excitement over substantive policy debate. The influence of figures such as Andrew Tate and similar personalities, who foster toxicity and sensationalism, further fuels this disconnect.
