Ested Herndon：本期节目关注2024年大选中的一个现象：年轻人的性别差距日益扩大，越来越多的年轻男性倾向于共和党，越来越多的年轻女性倾向于民主党。民调显示，年轻女性更支持哈里斯，年轻男性更支持特朗普；特朗普的竞选策略很大程度上是向男性（或他版本的男子气概）的明确呼吁。节目将在威斯康星州考察特朗普的竞选策略在年轻男性群体中的影响，探讨是什么驱动了2024年大选中的性别差距。 Madison的几位年轻男性：这些受访的年轻男性支持特朗普，部分原因是他们认为特朗普更像一个“真男人”，拥有商业头脑，能够强势地维护自身利益，不像其他政治家那样“虚伪做作”。他们认为女性越来越倾向于自由主义，男性越来越倾向于保守主义，堕胎问题是导致这种性别差距的主要因素之一。他们主要通过X平台获取新闻信息，并关注一些保守派媒体和人物。他们认为所有政治家都是“混蛋”，但更倾向于支持特朗普的经济政策，因为他们觉得自由主义者妖魔化了男性气概，一些男性因此转向了保守主义。他们认为特朗普能够直言不讳地表达自己的观点，代表了一种强硬的男性形象。 Madison的几位年轻女性：这些受访的年轻女性支持哈里斯，主要是因为她们反对特朗普，并支持哈里斯在堕胎等社会问题上的立场。她们认为美国社会对女性领导人的态度与2016年相比有所改变，哈里斯的性别是她们支持她的一个因素，但并非最重要的因素。她们认为年轻男性越来越倾向于保守主义，这与社交媒体上保守派思想的传播有关。她们不认为哈里斯的性别会影响她们的投票决定，她们更关注的是政治立场而非候选人的性别。其中一位女性表示，特朗普对女性的不尊重态度是她投票反对他的主要原因。 Ethan：Ethan是一位年轻的柴油机械师，他支持特朗普，因为他认为特朗普是一个“正直的人”，并且关注蓝领工人的利益，例如降低加班税。他认为男性应该领导国家，因为他们传统上在蓝领工作中扮演着重要角色。

Shownotes Transcript

One phenomenon that’s been getting a lot of attention during this election is the growing gender gap among young people.

Young men are leaning right, and young women are moving left.

In recent national surveys from The New York Times and Siena College, young women favored Kamala Harris by 42 percentage points and young men favored Donald Trump by 12 points.

And Trump has made explicit appeals to men — or at least his version of masculinity — a huge part of his message and campaign strategy.

So, as we enter the election’s final days, we wanted to see how these messages were landing in the key battleground state of Wisconsin.
