Tim Walz Explains Why Young Men Vote for Trump as Said by His Son, Gus: Trump Understands Belonging

‘They’re not voting on the policy issues’
By Grabien Staff

EXCERPT:

WALZ: “This is me just pontificating for what it’s worth. Social media and other things have disconnected people more than they were. We were more connected to my generation. It was easier to be a kid when I was growing up. And I’ve always said this as a teacher: If you don’t give a kid, a place to belong, they'll go find one. So you want them to be involved in sports and music and things in school, because they will go find a group of folks. And I think Donald Trump understands belonging, understands groups, I mean, look at it. He gives them a uniform, the red hat. He gives them some chance, some talking points, whatever. It's not that all that different than when we built sports teams in high school. You belong, you are part of this. It’s not so much the policies. I think it’s incredibly dangerous, but I don’t think we went out to get them. We didn’t out to make them feel a part of this."
