The article takes a long time to come to the conclusion that young men are voting for Trump because they're losers, thaf it's trolling and their way of giving in. Classic lazy millennials trope.

It says nothing about the obvious status of trump as an outsider and the desire of the young to change the status quo.

It goes to mention that both generations have had the American dream shattered but then goes on to say the older generation that votes for Trump is somehow better because reasons.

The truth is the reasons that most people across age groups voted for Trump was the same. They were tired of getting screwed and thought pulling in someone kinda crazy from outside politics would be better than continuing the Clinton dynasty with Hillary.

It's funny that an article that mostly talks about younger Trump voters being losers because they aren't doing anything about their situation fails to grasp that voting for somebody as crazy as Trump was pretty much the best thing these voters could do to gaurantee change, for better or worse.
