We are seeing it already. All over media you are seeing people pointing the finger already and saying, "this is YOUR fault", and sure, men did vote for Trump. They did. But... so did a shocking number of women. The majority of white women did.

But we need to understand why. Why did so many men vote for Trump? Might it be because the left is very exclusionary to men? There seems to be "no reason" for lots of young men to want to be on the left, so what do we have to offer them to make them want to be here? telling them that they are the origin of all the worlds problems from the moment they were born probably was not a good idea in hindsight. Telling them that they are more dangerous than a 700lb apex predator in all scenarios was probably not a good idea in hindsight. Telling them that their presence and sexual orientation in media is problematic might not have been a good idea in hindsight.

So what do we do now? How do we effectively strive for leftist ideals and actual progress in terms of inclusion, diversity, etc. without the messaging that clearly scared them off?

I do not know the answer. I think I am just feeling disappointment and frustration more than anything. It hurts for us who keep trying to do the right thing, but then getting lumped in with the likes who are vile, and voted for Trump with enthusiasm. "You are all the same", apparently still rings true to many people.
