It's ironic - when I was in that age range, I was quite right wing. That was the result of going to a private (public) school where one is automatically inculcated with pretty extreme right wing views.
However, since then, I have lived in 5 other countries and been immersed in other cultures along with seeing some pretty extreme poverty (I spent some months wandering around India and lived in Thailand for 3 years). The effect of all that has been to swing my politics further and further to the left.
I'm now 75 years old and I would now describe myself as a radical socialist. I currently support the Green party as they seem to be the only party who propose the bulk of policies that I support.
There is much talk of the Epstein files of the extreme measures that the very rich and powerful take to 'entertain themselves; sex with under-aged girls and the murder and torture of them along with the unthinkable - cannibalism! Perhaps we are doing the rich and powerful a disservice by not taxing them enough - by letting them get so rich that they delude themselves into thinking that this sort of behaviour is in any way acceptable!

I think the far right have confused the American culture war manosphere bubble with how things are in Britain, perhaps out of wishful thinking.
Either that or they're confusing middle-aged men with the emotional development of a teenager as a representation of actual young men.
@petealexharris @ZackPolanski It's not fundamentally different in the US: the majority of young men are left leaning, but apathetic to voting. Hillary and Harris both lost because of extremely low turnout from under-40s.
The point when I knew Harris was in trouble was in the summer of 2024 seeing a toilet in a hip coffee shop defaced with "Harris for Genocide". I wonder what fraction of the people in that coffee shop bothered to vote.
