But why?
Say what you want about Trump, but he tapped into something in the American male psyche.
This is most easily seen in what is happening with minority voters, particularly Black and Hispanic males. Both of these groups were traditionally solid supporters of Democratic candidates.
But ever since Trump arrived on the political scene, males — both Black and Hispanic — have been migrating to the Trump camp. We saw that trend begin in 2016 and only increase in 2020.
Now, with only about a month to go before the midterms, it looks like the trend is picking up speed. Black women are, hands down, the most reliable voting bloc in the Democrat column. But Black males are not so much of a lock anymore.
Democrats still have the majority of Blacks, including Black men, but Trump has cut noticeably into that lead. The movement of male voters is refashioning the political landscape, as sociologists and politicos review the data and try to figure things out.
What seems to be going on, considering it is minority men moving to Trump, could be as simple as this: Trump represents a form of masculinity not seen in these parts for many years.
