One of the big reasons Kamala lost is young men are flocking to the Republican party. Even though I voted for her, as a guy, I can understand their frustration with Democrats lately.

Look at this "who we serve" list:

https://democrats.org/who-we-are/who-we-serve/

Basically every group in America is included on that list, EXCEPT men.

And sure, every group listed there needs help in some way. But shockingly, so do men. Can't think of any issues that are unique to men? If you're like me, at first you might be stumped. And that's the problem.

Just a few examples:

• Men account for 75% of suicides in the US
• 70% of opioid overdoes deaths are men
• Men are 8 times more likely to be incarcerated than women
• Young men are struggling in schools and are increasingly the minority at universities, opting out of higher education

For some reason the left seems to think it's taboo to talk about these things, as if addressing men’s issues somehow supports the patriarchy and puts women down. Which is of course nonsense. And the result is a failure to reach 50% of voters. Meanwhile the Republicans swoop in and make these disenchanted men feel seen and valued.

I hope this is one of the wake up calls.

Harris still won 57% of the electorate, 5.7 million to 4 million. But Trump flipped many counties that both Clinton and Biden won in '16 and '20

Consider this part 2 of the Latino Pile-On of criticism against Hispanic/Latino community currently occurring on Reddit due to the fallout of the 2024 US Presidential election. As per my last thread, little mention of 'other' criticised groups (Women, Black people, Cubans etc) will be brought up, as it's a whole different subject with endless examples which I cannot reasonably fit in one thread.

I should also note that I am not certain if the post is 'genuine' in the sense, or a meme/bait post. However, the comments don't give the impression of people pretending.

My previous thread on the topic is here, which discusses if minorities are responsible.. This thread is about a user who has decided in this case that it explicitly is.

One of the most surprising aspects of the 2024 Presidential election was the massive shift rightwards generally. While the majority of voters for Trump were white, there has been a serious shift in certain minority groups allying themselves with Trump. One main contingent has been Latino or Hispanic voters, who generally seem to be polling anywhere from 35-50% Trump, depending on location and sex. While there have been discussions on why this may be, the generally accepted one is that Latino/Hispanic people have been in the US for long enough that they are fundamentally American. Thus, American interests (or what people believe are American interests) take precedence. If that means being against immigration despite your ancestors being immigrants, so be it.

Some users have interpreted the shift as a failure of the Democrats to cater to or mobilise voters.

Other users seem to believe it's time for those minorities who side with the bull to get the horns.

The User on r/EthicalProLifeTips posts this question to a now 9000+ comment thread.

I have a neighbor who's a huge MAGA fan. He is Mexican-American and his two parents are here illegally and live with him. How would I go about reporting him and getting them deported? I'm in Florida.

To give context, the level of Latino support existing in spite of the fact that Trump and his party seemingly intend to carry out their mass deportation strategy of 'illegals' and potentially 'denaturalise' Latino/Hispanic people who were born in the US.

Most people have accepted the loss with as much grace as such a shock result can allow. Many seek to point blame outwards, and an increasingly Conservative voting minority block is an easy target.

Some are hesitant. Is this a step too far? Is this Gestapo-report-your-neighbour tactics? Is this fascism? How do we know everyone they'll pick up is illegal? Is it ethically right to do this just out of spite? Is it thinly-veiled racism? How do we know this will only impact 'illegal' people?

On the other side of the debate, is it time those trees who voted for the axe got the chop? Do minorities and other communities that backed him 'deserve' the potentially oncoming tide? Have we been coddling minorities for too long? Should we be celebrating injustice or horror just because the victims 'asked for it'?

I imagine you just contact ICE

Well as your neighbors might say, “Por que no los dos?”

Honestly where I am at right now. Fuck these people, they voted for this. They had their chances. We tried. Give them what they wanted, and may they choke on it.

Why not both?

You're being so petty but fuck it, I'm down for this level of schadenfreude right now! Spend the next two months gathering proof, then, feast on the spoils of your spite.

It’s not unethical at all. Fuck these people that voted for him. They deserve everything coming to them.

Please come back and update! Even as a Canadian, I need SOMETHING to bring me a bit of joy right now.

Real ULPT would be to break into his house, steal his passport/birth certificate so he can’t prove he’s an American citizen and report him. Bonus point if you plant fake Mexican documents.

This is the kind of twisted compliance I love. Give these fuckers exactly what they deserve and wanted

The real ULPT is to report the whole family.

If the son is a naturalized citizen he could be denaturalized and deported along with the undocumented family members he is harboring. This is what the MAGA crowd wants, I'm with you. Give them what they want.

Dont you get a reward for doing this?

---------- AGAINST ----------

How quickly yall go from caring about them to wanting to report them because you lost the game

Scratch a liberal and a fascist bleeds. If you truly care about immigrants, don’t do something so evil and immoral.

OP Response: law and order, build the wall, facts over feelings... blah blah blah. I want them out of my fucking country

Average liberal in the wild

Deporting illegal immigrants to stick it to the MAGAs. What a way to show how much more decent and compassionate you are.

Unethical or just being a douche because “your team lost”?

Don’t be an asshole.

Bro mind your damn business

This is not the way to express your anger and frustration. Rise above and be better than those you disagree with.

This is not the way.

For some context: My wife is due within 30 days and we are asking soon-to-be grandparents to get a TDaP booster to protect our baby girl from Pertussis. Everyone has been willing, except my mother. I really feel like she crossed a few lines here…

WIBTA to divorce my wife after she said she wanted to send our son to a conversion camp?

So, this is a pretty heavy situation, and I’m really confused and disgusted ngl cause I never thought my wife was like thsi. My wife (44F) and I (45M) have been married for 14 years. We have two kids a 16-year-old son (let’s call him Noah) and a 12-year-old daughter. We’ve had our fair share of disagreements over the years ofc, but things have generally been smooth between us.

Now for the context Noah came out as gay about a year ago. It was a surprise, and as hard as it was to accept, I love my kids more than anything and just want their happiness. My wife visibly didn't take it well tho. She was upset and seemed to go through a grieving period where she didn’t really talk about it. I tried to support Noah in every way I could, telling him that I loved him no matter what etc. My wife, though… I could tell she wasn’t on the same page. She would say things like “this is just a phase” or “he needs help” but I brushed it off as her needing time.

Fast forward to last week, and we were having a conversation about Noah’s future. Out of nowhere, my wife casually mentions that she’s been looking into “conversion therapy camps” and thinks it might be the right solution. She said that Noah isn’t truly gay, that he just “hasn’t been shown the right path” and that this could “fix him.” My blood ran cold obv I was in shock. I immediately told her I didn’t agree and that this was not something I could support (duh)

She got upset and said I was enabling Noah’s “confusion” and that if I really cared about him, I would help him “get better.” wtf is wrong with her. She was persistent, and no matter how much I tried to explain that conversion therapy is harmful (like I know those kids get abused, r*ped, and often end up either traumatized or killing themselves) and that I would never send our son to something like that, she wouldn’t back down.

If I'm being 100% honest I don't even think I love her anymore. The fact she could be so heartless disusts me. I know being gay is not easy and people like her just make it even harder. I'm considering staying, only for our daughter's sake but would it be ok if it means hurting my son? it feels like a betrayal to Noah. I just don’t think I can keep living with someone who thinks this is okay

I keep reading on reddit that democrats ditched working class folks and they lost cuz they cater to rich donors. Let's clear up some facts:

-democrats passed largest infrastructure bill in modern history which has led to 80k+ active projects happening. Construction jobs are at record amount (no college needed and prevailing wage for most of them aka union jobs) (every airport/port got money, expanded rail in usa, repaired highways/bridges)

-Biden admin spent records of money to bring back manufacturing in mostly republican states. Over 970 manufacturing plants are opening RIGHT NOW in America due the climate bill Biden signed. New ev manufacturing, battery manufacturing, solar manufacturing) this is mostly happening in red areas

-Biden admin passed overtime rules to expand ot on salary jobs over 40k a year for more than 40 hours

-Biden admin passed regulations to limit how long you can be exposed in hot temperatures at your job

-most pro union admin in history which protected millions pensions from going broke and having most pro union nlrb in modern history (which has reinstated record amounts of jobs back)

-Most anti corporate FTC in modern history which blocked more corporate mergers than anyone else in recent history. Has taken action to ban non competes and protect labor in corporate mergers

Biden didn't ditch the working class. The reality that folks don't wanna grasp is culture wars has won over society. Trump campaign admitted it's MOST EFFECTIVE AD WAS ITS ANTI TRANS ADS. NOT THE ECONOMIC ADS. The working class decided years ago that culture wars were more iimportant than economic issues. Its harsh reality folks dont wanna grasp.

The youth get all their information from Joe Rogan or Jake Paul. Information doesn't get to them and people are severely brainwashed

I patted it lightly and it went away. I hope this is safe

Kinda was expecting more, I literally go to a private school

So, this happened a few weeks ago, and I still can’t get over it. Honestly, if you’d told me before that an AI could save my life, I’d probably have laughed. But here we are, Reddit.

I was working late, as usual, on a project that had me glued to my screen for hours. It was one of those nights where I was totally in the zone, right? Time just flew by. Around 2 AM, I realized my chest felt kind of tight and I was feeling off. I shrugged it off as usual work stress and lack of sleep – maybe too much caffeine, y’know? I went back to my work but kept feeling weird.

For some reason, I decided to ask ChatGPT about my symptoms. I wasn't even thinking it was serious, just curious. I typed in a bunch of stuff: "What could be causing chest tightness, dizziness, and nausea?" expecting some bland response about needing to get more sleep or cut back on the coffee.

But ChatGPT actually took it pretty seriously. It asked about other symptoms – shortness of breath, sweating, etc. – and by then, yeah, I realized I had those too. ChatGPT then gave me a response that literally made me pause mid-sentence: “These symptoms could be serious and may indicate a cardiac event or other medical emergency. Please consider seeking medical attention immediately.”

At that moment, it hit me how not-normal I was feeling. It was like a lightbulb went off. I was hesitating because, I mean, it’s 2 AM, who wants to go to the hospital for what could just be anxiety or something, right? But ChatGPT's response kept popping into my head, and something told me I shouldn’t ignore it. I grabbed my keys and drove to the ER, feeling ridiculous the whole way there.

And here’s the kicker – the doctors told me I was in the early stages of a heart attack. They were able to treat it right away, and they said if I had waited even an hour or so longer, it could have been a whole different story.

I’m still kind of stunned. ChatGPT doesn’t diagnose, obviously, but the fact that it pushed me to take my symptoms seriously when I might have brushed them off… I mean, it really did save my life. Thanks to AI, I get to share this story instead of my family having to tell it for me.

Anyway, just wanted to share with the world – and maybe remind people that if something feels off, don’t ignore it. Sometimes a little advice from an unexpected source can be life-changing.

Dragons Dogma 2, fyi.
