Statistician Nate Silver, who describes himself as an unregistered voter who votes for Democrat candidates a majority of the time, recently dug into the reasons behind young men’s growing disinterest in the Democratic Party—a trend that has Democrat strategists frantically searching for both explanations and solutions.
The problem, however, for the left — as the rational among us see, daily — is that Democrats traumatized by President Donald Trump 2.0 are far more obsessed with trashing all things Trump than with trying to right the Democrat Party ship, which continues to sink because of their own intentional doing.
Silver suggested that a significant challenge for Democrats may be that an increasing percentage of young men are turned off by the party's irrational political rhetoric.
Not to slight Silver, but "duh."
And on the flip side, mentally unstable voters — many of whom appear to be willfully uninformed — are easy to spot in public. Comedian and Fox News personality Jimmy Failla summed it up perfectly:
I didn't need a poll to know they are unwell. Just drive around, and see some them wearing a mask in their car, and you know who they're voting for and you know they're not OK.
Incidentally, my favorite variation of the above, and we've all seen them, are shoppers strolling through stores wearing masks that cover their mouths but not their noses.
Who is that supposed to protect? I wonder — yet I don't want to know the answer.
Recent polling reveals Americans largely think the Democratic Party is rudderless and ineffective, according to three new polls — also a no-brainer — as reported by Blaze Media on Monday:
There is unlikely a Democrat now in Washington, D.C., unaware of just how unpopular and distrusted their party has become in recent years, particularly under the co-captaincy of Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (N.Y.) and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries — whose average disapproval ratings according to RealClearPolitics are 46.1% and 28.6%, respectively.
The disapproval rating for the party as a whole was 58.3% as of May 25, according to polling by the Economist and YouGov.
[...]
A new CNN survey conducted by SSRS and published Sunday revealed just how worthless the Democratic Party has become in the eyes of most Americans: Only 16% of Americans regard the Democrats as the party with strong leaders. By way of comparison, 40% of respondents characterized the GOP as the "party with strong leaders."
Silver surmised:
I don’t doubt that some of Democrats’ problem with young men is that they’re seen as what in the poker world we’d call “nits”: neurotic, risk-averse, sticklers for the rules, always up in everyone’s business.
In my research for "On the Edge," I found that risk tolerance is something of an understudied personality trait, but the two truisms are that men generally have a higher risk tolerance than women and younger people are more risk-tolerant than older ones.
I don't doubt Silver's above observation as mostly true — at least in a general way — but even more importantly, a growing percentage of younger voters (along with a growing percentage of voters of color) have figured out that the Democrat Party is driven more by its hatred of all things Donald Trump and less by whatever love it might have for America as we know it.
Toss in the reality that the Democrat Party offers zero solutions — only scaremongering nonsense — and it doesn't take a proverbial rocket scientist to see why people across multiple demographics are walking away from the Democrats in droves.

Let's hope Democrat politicians and their lapdog media hacks continue to do exactly what they're doing, and that Donald Trump, hopefully driven by constitutional conservatism vs. populism, continues to win for the American people.
The Democrat Party has never been less popular as voters reject their globalist agenda.
