I think progressives never thought about this because we banked on immigration and demographic change allowing us to win culturally and electorally but the issue is immigrants tend to be overwhelmingly male, that is how Trump won actually he won over a lot of Hispanic,Black,Asian and indigenous men who feel humiliated by a new culture, economy and world.
So what can we do rhetorically and policy wise to win more young men over ?
You're viewing a single thread.
You can't really do anything. Men had privileged position in the society for millennia. Now you're basically asking them to resign this privilege. They will not do it voluntarily. It doesn't make sense for them on any level. They will push back and the harder you attack their special rights the harder they will push back. It's only natural.
I think the only thing you can do is to educate them about democratic values so that while they are regaining power they still respect the rights of other people and don't create authoritarian state. This is what clearly failed in the US.
