Abortion, Open Borders, and Anti-White Racism: Why Young Men are Abandoning Democrats this Election
Kamala Harris has already been a disaster for America. On November 5th, Donald Trump must return to the White House. Here's why young men may deliver him that victory.
We are two days away from the Imperial Capitol of the Global American Empire electing its new Caesar — after the dementia-addled current occupant of the White House was stood down for a second term by his handlers.
Unlike in 2016 and 2020, polls look more favourable to Trump this time. Betting odds have Trump averaged at 60 to Harris’ 38. The Wall Street Journal and CNBC also forecast a Trump victory by +3 and +2 points respectively. Last Sunday, Trump led Harris by 0.2; compared to trailing behind Biden by 7.4, and Clinton by 5.6 at the same time in the previous two cycles. CNN's final poll puts Trump and Harris at a 47-point deadlock. Likewise, the final New York Times / Sierra poll also closed Harris’ lead to a 48-point standoff with Trump.
But an August Times/Sierra poll pointed to a greater divide between male and female voters — which could continue to influence future elections too. Harris enjoys a 38 point lead among young women, compared to Trump’s 13 points among men, in six key swing states. This 51 point Gen Z gender divide is the largest among all generations.
As more young people come of voting age, the divide will continue to widen: with NBC News exit polls registering a net gender gap of 24 points in 2016, and 23 points in 2020.
What might decide whether Republicans or Democrats claim their lion’s share of key swing states is this entrenched and deepening political gender divide among Generation Z.
I highlighted how this political gender divide has emerged among Gen Z across the US, UK, and parts of Europe in a previous episode of Tomlinson Talks:
We hear ad nauseam about how straight White men are “problematic”, how masculinity is “toxic”, and how the West is on the precipice of turning back the clock to an oppressive patriarchy a la the Handmaid’s Tale. But the data doesn’t bear that out.
In 2020, men under 30 favored Joe Biden by 24 points. In the 2022 midterms, 68 percent of voters under 30 supported Democrat candidates; albeit with the margin remaining lower than the 2018 midterms, and continuing to shrink among both White and Hispanic men and women. Since 2016, the American Enterprise Institute has found men aged 18 - 29 identifying as Democrat has declined from 51 to 39 percent.
So while men may be shifting toward Trump, it’s more a process of slow disenchantment with liberal progressive politics on immigration and the economy than an organised revolt to roll back the Nineteenth Amendment.
However, in the UK, the Family Education Trust discovered that almost a third of schools teach “Toxic Masculinity” lessons — featuring materials which imply that being “a protector and provider” leads ineluctably to men committing rape and sexual violence.
I discussed the report’s findings with its author, Lottie Moore, on Deprogrammed in October:
I also debated the findings on The Saturday Five on GB News — where a self-satisfied, state-appointed leftist panelist spouted inaccurate statistics about male sexual violence, before being uncomfortable with the prospect of an ethnic breakdown of the perpetrators.
Suffice it to say, young men aren’t delighted to be denigrated constantly for their sex. Yet, this isn’t turning them toward an unreasonable, vitriolic form of politics.
Instead, as twenty years of Gallup data shows, women are driving this divide. Young American women are now 23 to 30 points more liberal than their male counterparts. Similar trends are observable in the UK, Germany, and South Korea.
The Economist found that the gap between women identifying as “very liberal” and men as “very conservative” has widened to twice that of those with and without a degree within 20 years.
Their primary issue appears to be abortion. 23 percent of women told the New York Times abortion was “the most important issue in deciding their vote in November”, out of a selection of 24 topics. Just as in 2022, following the Supreme Court’s decision in Dobbs v. Jackson to overturn Roe v Wade and send abortion back to states to be legislated, this could motivate young women to turn out on election day at higher rates than men (68.4 percent versus 65 percent). According to Newsweek / Redfield & Wilton polling, 55 percent of women support Harris’ abortion policies. 38 percent of voters said abortion was one of the issues that would affect their vote. 59 percent of Harris voters said it was their most important issue; whereas the majority of Trump supporters said the economy and immigration matter more.
Hence why Harris’ pitch for “Freedom” focuses solely on universal access to abortion without term limit restrictions — and not constitutional rights to free speech or self-defence. Beyoncé told the crowd at Harris’ rally on Saturday, “I’m here as a mother [...] who cares deeply about the world my children, and all of our children, live in. A world where we have the freedom to control our bodies.” Their stance on abortion is, as Mary Harrington writes, the strongest possible statement in favour of total personal freedom: the right to end the life of an unborn child to free oneself from responsibilities and consequences.
As the following piece by Anonymous Zoomer on
’s Substack explains,The Harris campaign, in short, has often come across as shrill, debauched, and extending pathological tolerance and compassion to criminal migrants and minority groups, but never to their opponents and unborn children.
Trump’s campaign, in contrast, projects a strength, forcefulness, and vitalism that is attractive to young men like me, who feel, as one of my peers told the New York Times: “You’re not supposed to do this, you’re not supposed to do that, you’re just supposed to sit here and be quiet,’” and “being a man [is] ‘a little bit harder than it used to be.’” […]
This perception of Trump, I think, is also driving a wider tendency among my generation to see the Republicans and Democrats as masculine- and feminine-coded parties. Compare and contrast the Harris and Trump campaigns, for example.
Kamala Harris coordinated her campaign with the release of Charlie XCX’s album Brat, to celebrate “that girl who is a little messy and likes to party and maybe says some dumb things sometimes, who [...] has a breakdown, but kind of parties through it”. She then appeared on Alex Cooper’s Call Her Daddy podcast, infamous for promoting promiscuity and non-committal relationships as supposedly “liberating” to young women. Any suggestion that such a lifestyle might be unhealthy is met with accusations that you are “Weird”, “a fascist”, just like Hitler, and that you hate “joy”.
This was perhaps best symbolised by a now-deleted meme by Planned Parenthood, with an all-caps description about how Trump will pass a national abortion ban, shouted into the ear of an unbothered man by an inebriated woman.
I discussed the reasons why abortion has become such a pivotal issue in the 2024 Presidential election with the founder of Them Before Us, Katy Faust on Tomlinson Talks:
[Faust:] Unfortunately, I do think that abortion is a major issue for single women, because it is and has been billed to them as a means of their liberation, independence, and equity. And, unfortunately, as is always the case when we elevate an adult's sexual desires or feelings or identity as God — to, like you said, this sacrificial, sacramental aspect that I think was on display at the DNC, with the abortions and the vasectomies, it really is a Sacrament — when we elevate adult sexual freedom to the status of God, it is always children who will be victimized. It is always children who will be the sacrificial offering on that altar of adult desire.
A very different “vibe” drives young men toward Trump.
Significant if not large numbers of young men, including those planning to vote for Trump next week, now think women’s gains have sometimes come at the expense of men, that America has become “too soft and feminine”, are less likely than older Millennials to think “feminism has made America a better place”, and are more likely than the even older Boomers to think feminism has “done more harm than good.” […]
So, when Kamala Harris’ “liberal” running mate, Tim Walz, promises “there’s no guarantee to free speech on misinformation or hate speech,” it sounds like more of the same nagging and censorship to men like me, more of the same attempt to control, if not feminise, the public square.

This week on Tomlinson Talks, I explained the full costs of Kamala Harris’ disastrous four years presiding over the Southern Border.

More than 7.3 million illegal immigrants have crossed the Southern Border since Biden & Harris entered the White House — a population larger than 36 of the 50 US states. This cost American taxpayers $150 bn in 2023.
As I wrote in a previous piece for
, this has resulted in the tragic and avoidable deaths of American children:In Ohio and other states, illegal migrants have been issued driving licences — with concerns they could use these to fraudulently vote in November’s election. Springfield residents are reporting “eight to 10 accidents a day”, after Haitian migrants were issued driving licences. A mother of three was hit by a Haitian Amazon delivery driver making an illegal turn last week, and was thankfully unharmed. Grandmother Kathy Heaton was struck and killed by a Haitian migrant driving with expired plates on December 1st 2023. Her killer was not charged. Eleven year-old Aiden Clark was killed, and twelve students injured, when a Haitian driving without a US licence caused a school bus to roll over.
Others crossing the Southern Border have committed brutal murders. Mother-of-five Rachel Morin was allegedly raped and murdered in Maryland by illegal El Salvadoran migrant Victor Martinez Hernandez in 2023. University of Georgia student Laken Riley was allegedly murdered by illegal Venezuelan migrant Jose Ibarra in February. Twelve-year-old Jocelyn Nungaray was allegedly strangled to death and left in a creek by two illegal Venezuelan migrants in June. Last weekend, an illegal migrant from the Dominican Republic was arrested for the murders of a family of four in upstate New York — including a four- and two-year-old. Despite articles running cover for Kamala Harris’s negligent stewardship of the Southern border, insisting illegal migrants commit less crime than US nationals, it is important to remember that every single one of these atrocities was avoidable. If these criminals had not been let into the country, every one of these innocent victims would be alive and with their families.
The Biden / Harris administration bears responsibility for all of these children, who are not currently at home, in the arms of their loving parents. Had Donald Trump been in office, and the Southern Border secured, they would still be alive today. The choice couldn’t be clearer on November 5th.
We’re seeing similar atrocities committed in the UK.
The number of illegal immigrants who have crossed the Channel in small boats in 2024 has already surpassed the total for 2023.
Conservative MP Nick Timothy revealed that the full cost of the Labour government’s proposed asylum system reforms will be an additional £17.8 bn, atop last year’s budget of £14.4 bn.
Each illegal immigrant costs the UK taxpayer £41,000 — an increase of £24,000 from 2019.
Our politicians also use “international law” as an excuse not to deport these people. The European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) acts as a convenient blockage to any reduction in the number of foreign criminals blighting Britain, because human rights lawyers can frustrate deportation procedures with appeals; all the while, neither Labour nor the majority of the Tory party will ever be willing to leave it.
To give some examples of exactly what sort of violent pervert the ECHR provides a right to remain in my country:
A convicted Indian paedophile won his ECHR appeal to remain in the UK after an independent social worker concluded his deportation “would be too harsh on the man's children.”
A Portuguese drug dealer, despite prior offences, also appealed to Article 8 of the ECHR and won the right to remain, arguing “if he was forcibly removed from Britain it would harm his mother's mental health.”
A deported Albanian burglar who snuck back into Britain was spared deportation, appealing to the ECHR on the grounds that he had married and impregnated his Lithuanian girlfriend.
And an Albanian murderer, who lied about his identity on his asylum application, won an appeal to remain in the UK using, you guessed it, the ECHR.
We could deport the >11,000 foreign nationals in British prisons. We could identify and deport the >1.3 million illegal immigrants currently residing in Britain. We could deter any other foreign criminal from breaking into this country, and ensure no more can commit crimes and continue being the recipient of taxpayer subsidies.
But politicians refuse to do such sensible things, and instead subject us to exploitation by a hostile imported population.
I interviewed senior advisor at America 2100, Nate Hochman about how small towns like Charleroi, Pennsylvania have been similarly demographically changed, and economically desolated, by unprecedented levels of third-world dependent migration.
We tried our best to determine whether immigration is enrichment, or punishment — because when the unwanted consequences inevitably accrue, the native White populations of Europe and those of founding stock in America are told to suck it up, and that we deserve such a fate for the colonialism of our forefathers.
[Hochman:] That rationale has been abandon completely by a lot of people on the left, in the ruling elite. Now it's: “'Look at what's happening to towns like Charleroi! Ha ha ha ha, they deserve it.” The argument, increasingly, is no longer “We're doing this because it's good.” The argument is, “We're doing this because it's bad, and you deserve it.” And that's obviously what this always was: towns like Charleroi, unfashionable little towns filled with unfashionable little people in deep red Trump country, deserve to be punished, they deserve to be replaced, they deserve this.
This is sort of cosmic comeuppance for their Whiteness, their americanness, and it is a sort of “Cosmic Justice” that people from the third world, from the global south, from places like Haiti — which in this kind of fantasy history that exists in the leftwing mind, all of their problems are the result of White Westerners and colonialism — now they're recolonizing the West, now they're getting theirs…
It’s not hard to see why, when the Democrats are selling contempt for their race and sex, White men are not in the mood for buying.
It also doesn’t help the Harris campaign that men, who must work harder than their female counterparts to circumvent anti-White, misandric Affirmative Action and DEI policies, see Kamala Harris as incompetent. When she isn’t cowering from appearing on The Joe Rogan Experience, she’s facing accusations that her 2009 book, Smart on Crime, plagiarised from Wikipedia, Goodwill, and interviews with Martin Luther King Jr.
I covered these accusations on the Podcast of the Lotus Eaters last month.
Suffice to say, if Harris / Walz wanted to challenge Trump’s image as an accomplished, courageous, masculine leader, they’ve done a dreadful job of it.
As even the founder of Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg, admitted, Trump's instinct to get to his feet, fist-pump the air, and chant “Fight!” after being shot was an action-hero moment that transcended party lines. This forthrightness, strength, and courage, put simply, appeals to Zoomers like me, nearly one in four of whom will grow up without their father and have no real sense about what a strong, masculine figure looks like.
I now write frequently for Courage Media — where this week, the founder,
wrote about the impact of long-form podcasts on the Presidential election:While Harris’ appearance did little to reassure the public that she is sincere and possessing more mental acuity than Biden, Trump’s repartee with Rogan reminds us that he remains sharp, optimistic about the future, and – most importantly – funny.
As this analysis of 40,000 viewers conducted for Newsweek shows, for swing voters, the gulf between Harris’ sugary platitudes (“thank you for your voice”) and Trump’s authenticity is increasingly hard to ignore.
I used the platform to deliver a very different message to a prospective second Trump Administration this week…
How the Deep State Could Thwart Donald Trump’s Second Term
In my warning to team Trump, I used Liz Truss’ government as an example of how central banks can weaponise interest rates to thwart the unorthodox economics of insurgent political movements.
Gas prices are up 40% since 2021; bread, 39%; and average real-terms weekly wages down 3.9%. Biden/Harris’ $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan (2021) caused grocery prices to increase 13.5% by August 2022. However, because the employment figures are down, the Federal Reserve can now justify recalibrating interest rates to conduct quantitative tightening and reduce inflation. The Federal funds rate has decreased from a 23-year high of 5.5% to 4.81 — conveniently timed to ensure Harris’ campaign is less tainted by Biden’s economic record. Prior to COVID, during the Trump presidency, it had reached 0%.
But while they are coming down, it is important to remember that a sudden spike by a Federal Reserve acting autonomously of the wishes of the elected government could cause market volatility that can bring economic plans to a screeching halt.
President Trump was warned about the effect of interest rates on his tariff plans in a combative interview with Bloomberg News editor-in-chief John Micklethwait.
At the moment, there is a thing called the Trump trade in the markets. Do you know what that is? The Trump trade is very simple. People are betting that your policies are going to drive up debt, they’re going to drive up inflation, so they’re going to drive up inflation rate — interest rates. Are the investors wrong? […]
Vice Presidential nominee JD Vance is vigilant for this possibility. In an interview with Tucker Carlson, Vance said,
But if Trump wins, it’s not just going to be smooth sailing for four years. They’re going to do everything that they can to take down this President. I think it’s probably the most and the most important in the most impactful way they could try to take down his presidency: [it] is by spiking the interest rates.
You saw this, by the way, Tucker, [with] Liz Truss in Britain, ok — Which, by the way, like I like Liz Truss, I disagree with her on a lot of issues, so I’m not I’m not trying to stand up or say Liz Truss is my person. But look, she came in, she had a plan and the Bank of England, I think, made a lot of mistakes — maybe intentional. Interest rates shot through the roof and it took down her government in a matter of days. Of course, we don’t have the same style of government, but it would be devastating to the President if you had this bond market death spiral. And that’s one of the things we’re going to have to fight against when we win.Truss has remained resolute that her short-lived tax-cut proposals were not to blame for Britain’s financial crisis in September 2022. Just as with many accusations made about Donald Trump: all is not as it first appears. The evidence is mounting, out of the mouths of the banks themselves, that fault lies with financial regulators, not the former Prime Minister, for crashing the economy.
Truss has urged Vance and Trump to look to her government as a cautionary tale, to avoid having their next term thwarted. Therefore, it’s worth detailing exactly how Liz Truss’ government was brought down.
It’s the most detailed post-mortem of the Truss government I’ve seen to date — and features input from sources familiar with all that went on at the time. If (hopefully) future Vice President Vance wants a way to foresee Trump;’s tariffs being blocked by the Fed, then he needs to look no further than the essay now available on Courage Media.
If Trump plans to declare war on the financial establishment and other unelected agencies, then they had best concoct a plan to prevent interest rates, pension funds, and financial forecasts being used against them. Furthermore, Trump must make prudent staffing choices, to ensure nobody within his administration has an incentive to leak to the press and undermine confidence in his agenda. Otherwise, his promise to Make America Great Again will be as short lived as Truss’ tenure in Downing Street.
My only hope is that Americans make the sensible choice on November 5th.
Oh, and that the Democrats don’t sufficiently “fortify” things in their favour this time…
The major difference is that our dislike of them is motivated by disgust, whereas their hatred of us is motivated by envy. This is why “anti-white racism” feels forced when applied to non-whites who express anti-white sentiment, because the defining feature of racism is a disgust-based hatred, not envy. Not to mention the fact that “reverse racism” is rooted in the paradigm of Christian ethics, which views ethnocentrism as the greatest sin.
