Divorced Men Are Falling for Trump

Divorced Men Are Falling for Trump

"SNIP...........

Emily Shugerman: “Trump has long polled significantly better with men than women and has recently made inroads with even the youngest male voters, fueling a historic 51 percent polling gap between Gen-Z women and men. But according to an analysis of polling from the conservative American Enterprise Institute, his pull may actually be strongest with divorcés…”

“While divorced men have been trending right for at least the past two decades, the poll found some 56 percent of divorced men now support Trump — more than single men, married men, and women of any relationship status. Daniel Cox, who conducted the poll, tells me that the divorce divide started widening in the mid-2010s, around the time of Trump’s first presidential campaign and changes in how we handle sexual assault and harassment.”

Said Cox: “Politicians like Trump are saying men are getting the raw end of the deal here after the Me Too movement, and giving voice to some of the pain and challenges men are facing. You have an undercurrent of resentment that leads them to try to leverage it for political purposes.”

Happily divorced, 40 year old white rural male and I've given more money to VPH than I have in any elections cycle yet. And that's after we settled the divorce. Haha.

Men who support an ass like Trump have shitty attitudes towards women.
Women no longer have to stay in those relationships.
