We gotta stop voting for politicians that wont be around in 10 years.

That young man calling the two sides (Harris v Trump) too extreme is hilarious.

So great how they basically all said they like Trump because he's manly, and then also couldn't name a single thing about him that they thought was manly. He's doing the same thing they are, over compensating for his insecurities by standing next to people that he thinks are manly and hoping no one else will notice that he doesn't belong there. It's a shame that it works so well.

As a man, these men are such immense disappointments.

The way this event has been spun to seem like it's an event so that the president can reconnect with the younger crowd and not so that he can line his pockets is a master class.

We're so cooked. Funding a genocide? Still gotta respect our President. Funding a genocide, I don't like him, but he's into the same sports I'm into, soooo I kind of don't know. We're burnt to a crisp

The interviewer has a way of talking to these men that I would not have the patience to achieve

Bread and circuses. That's what this whole event was about.

These are adults, men. I feel like calling them boys diminishes their accountability.

Turns out, bigotry is expensive.

"Democrats don't do UFC"? That's how they decide who to vote for? Dang, Idiocracy is real life... They would totally vote for Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho.

“His views” and then does nothing to articulate… talking to men in this age group is like pulling teeth.
@
These kids have no idea what is going on in politics and it’s quite shocking how uneducated and uninformed they are. It was hard to listen to.
@
These guys didn’t know what a tariff was. Of course they were eventually gonna be duped.

"We like his toxic masculinity and xenophobia, but are upset that he didn't live up to the promises he made that absolutely everybody knew he would never honor."

They basically hoped that he would give them the lifestyle he has, without them having to be rich and powerful themselves.

Turns out the show isn't as much fun as you thought when it's your future being taken away.

Soooo they voted based on their idea of masculinity, sports, and vibes. We’re doomed.

It’s almost like they only voted for culture war reasons and actual republican policies hurt them
