RUSH: The latest Reuters\/Ipsos poll.<\/a> This is not somebody\u2019s news story. It\u2019s a poll. And it\u2019s Reuters. “Forty-six percent of young white men now favor the Republicans over Democrats. That\u2019s a near complete switch from where the demographic group stood just two years ago when the GOP was led by free traders and open borders advocates.<\/p>\n

“President Trump\u2019s reshaping of the GOP from being aligned to the Chamber of Commerce to a party serving the interests of America\u2019s working and middle class is winning over young white American men en masse.”<\/p>\n

Now, there\u2019s a reason for this beyond Trump, and that is that the Democrats, beginning in 2011, said they\u2019re not interested in them. You know why a bunch of white men — I\u2019m gonna tell you the truth — you know why a bunch of young white men have been voting Democrat? Because that\u2019s what the women are doing, and men will always do what women want in order to get close to women.<\/p>\n

I mean, men don\u2019t go to museums unless a woman wants to and then they\u2019ll act like it\u2019s one of their favorite things to do, right? I\u2019ve done it; you\u2019ve done it. How many museums you been to, Brian? How many? How many would you have gone to on your own if not for the fact that the lovely lady wanted to go? And you went because that\u2019s what you had to do.<\/p>\n

Okay, so if a bunch of young women think that Trump is despicable or, on the other hand, if they love Obama and you have as an objective to get close to a particular woman, and she loves Obama, what are you gonna do? But now things have come along, Obama is gone, and the women that were for Obama, many of them have turned into undesirable hatemongers.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, working conditions and economic circumstances for people in America are improving, and that matters. These are back pocket issues. But then you go back to 2011, I\u2019ve talked about this story so often and it didn\u2019t get a whole lot of play. It was a column by Thomas B. Edsall<\/a>, used to work for the Washington Post. He may still be a journalist but it just means he\u2019s a Democrat activist.<\/p>\n

But he had a-heads-up on Obama\u2019s strategy for the 2012 midterms, and they were simply gonna abandon working class white voters and instead as a party shift to what they thought would be a gigantic coalition of minorities and illegal immigrant activists and supporters and maybe even some illegal immigrants. And that\u2019s how they thought they were gonna win. Not just 2012 with Obama, the White House, but the midterms. And they thought that would be building a base going forward because that\u2019s where they intended to transform the country.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Obama, Hillary, the Democrats intended to transform this country into a majority, slash, minority country where the old majorities would be marginalized, would be powerless, and the previous minorities coupled together combined would represent the new majority. Didn\u2019t happen. Didn\u2019t work out the way they intended, and now because they threw away not just white-collar, but blue-collar, too, they threw away white working class families, largely men. The men are beginning to come home to Trump, to the Republican Party. And this is based on substance. There may be some personality in there, people liking Trump, but it\u2019s based on substance.<\/p>\n

“Ahead of Trump\u2019s election to the presidency in 2016, nearly 50 percent of young white men favored Democrats.” And again, I\u2019m gonna tell you, a large number of them said they favored Democrats because the women they were chasing liked Obama and the Democrats. Do not doubt me on this, folks. I mean, you may think it sounds like stereotypical, but it isn\u2019t. I\u2019m not even being critical. Just telling you the way it is.<\/p>\n

So in 2016, before Trump\u2019s elected, nearly 50% of young white men favored Democrats. Thirty-six percent of them favor the GOP. “That 14-point gain has flipped, and young white men now favor the GOP over the Democrats by 46 percent to 37 percent.” The only difference is Trump.<\/p>\n

And the women that these guys were out there chasing, if they hate Trump, if they\u2019re part of the Never Trumper crowd, believe me, they\u2019re not attractive. Nobody is. If you\u2019re just filled with hate and rage and what appears to be irrational hate and rage, I mean, nobody\u2019s gonna want to get close to you. Nobody\u2019s gonna want to invest the time.<\/p>\n

Now, at the time that the majority of white young men favored Democrats, the Republican Party was aligned with the Chamber of Commerce, Big Business, trade deals, and so forth. The Republican establishment was pushing the Trans-Pacific Partnership, the TPP. Paul Ryan had rebuked Trump\u2019s economic nationalist trade agenda at a gathering with the GOP mega donors, the Koch brothers.<\/p>\n

And let\u2019s see, what else. The GOP leaders were also pushing back against Trump\u2019s nationalism on immigration in 2016 during the campaign. But now that Trump\u2019s been in office we\u2019re coming up, you know, year-and-a-half, and some of the most substantively positive economic changes in people\u2019s lifetime. Remember, we\u2019re talking about young people here who may have only voted for Obama, maybe the first candidate they voted for.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

They\u2019re young and they lived through eight years of Obama. That was the norm. And they heard the Obama, the Democrats saying, “Get used to it. America\u2019s best days are behind us. This is the new normal. We are here to manage the decline because America\u2019s past wasn\u2019t deserved. We really weren\u2019t that wealthy. We shouldn\u2019t have been that wealthy. We really are not qualified be.” All that stuff they heard. Who knows how many of them it believed. But here comes Trump. The changes in a year and a half compared to the previous eight years of their lives have to be overwhelmingly dramatic.<\/p>\n

You got a guy who says you can do anything, we\u2019re gonna do anything, we\u2019re gonna fix America, we\u2019re gonna make America great again. These are people that never heard that kind of talk. That\u2019s who we\u2019re talking about here. We\u2019re talking about young people who only heard pessimism, negativism, can\u2019t do it, and, by the way, these are people that were accused of being guilty. These people were responsible for all of the suffering and the plight of suffering for many disadvantaged people all over the country. And who knows how they accepted it, but because the women were that way, the men had to bite the bullet and do whatever the women wanted. But those days are over.<\/p>\n

What are you rolling your eyes in there for? Do you doubt me on that? Do you really doubt me? This is not sexism, it\u2019s not chauvinism, it\u2019s not even stereotypicalism. (interruption) Well, you can\u2019t wait \u2019til these young female journalists hear this? Oh, you know, I hadn\u2019t even thought about that. We might be looking at another whole night of panel discussions on CNN or elsewhere over this.<\/p>\n

I mean, it\u2019s the way of the world! It\u2019s always been the way of the world! You know, the best advice I got when I was a young whippersnapper on how to meet women was this: Go get a bunch of women\u2019s magazines and women\u2019s books and turn to the chapters and sections on where to meet men, find out where you\u2019re supposed to be there and go there. If it\u2019s a library, show up. If it\u2019s a museum, go there. And it was great advice. Everybody else is, you know, trying to do it at bars and parties and so forth.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s just the way of the world, folks. Men chase women, or they used to. I mean, it was good, it was funny. There\u2019s an old song, a boy chases a girl till she catches him. I love that line. ‘Cause that\u2019s exactly what happens. That\u2019s why I\u2019ve always said that women, before feminism, before all of this politicization of everything, women had all the power in relationships, in civilized relationships, had all the power in the world because the women are the ones that say “no.”<\/p>\n

They have thrown that away, sacrificed that for some sort of new, have-it-all kind of power that\u2019s rooted in rage and anger and resentment as brought to us by the modern era of modern feminism. All I\u2019m telling you is that it makes perfect, substantive sense.
