My feeling is the sharp swing towards Trump with young men has a lot to do with Trump personally. Think about it, the entire cohort of male voters 18-25 went from adolescence into adulthood with a juvenile braggard getting away with outrageous things and never being held accountable as a role model.

When Trump used the defense "locker room talk", those 2024 voters were 10-17. If we made a pie chart of which demographics routinely engage in such talk, boys 10-17 would be an enormous slice.
The good thing though is that he has seen a sharp fall in approval even among Gen Z men in all polls except that Yale one which was hyped up by the media. If this admin is a failure and the next democratic administration is a success, Gen Z as a whole can become as liberal as Gen X became conservative due to the Reagan era.
And that makes sense too, my theory includes the idea that this support is wide but shallow. Casting a vote for Trump in 2024 was the last act of adolescence for these young men who now actually have to live in the real world, I could see them shifting our way and the 18-25 cohort in 2028 will see Trump as a failed old man and probably not be as interested in whatever BS the Republicans put up next.
