Walz: So if you are feeling deflated, discouraged today, I get it. Take some time. Take care of yourselves. And get back in this fight when you are ready. And know that whenever you are ready to get back in that fight, I will be standing right here, ready to fight with you.

I think a factor explaining young men becoming more Republican is that rightwing media has become "cool" in a way it wasn't even a decade ago. Rogan, Barstool, even the X platform itself -- guys in their 20s and 30s marinate in this stuff and so do their friends
