Ilyse Hogue wrote for The Bulwark on how Democrats are failing to recognize how the Republican Party is effectively mobilizing young men who feel alienated by progressive politics.

This rightward drift of young men is part of a global trend that has powered elections in recent years from Argentina to France. Uninterrupted, this dynamic will not only influence the outcome of the presidential race in November—especially in key states that skew young like Arizona—but will also realign politics as we know it for a generation to come. And yet, despite liberal voices raising the alarm, Democrats have failed even to really acknowledge the problem, much less put real resources into combating it.
