This Man Said He Feels “Lost” In The US Politics, And People Did Not Hold Back Responding

His question: “What is my tribe in 2025? Am I a political island?”

Here’s the entirety of his post:

“I’m a millennial man (technically, I guess — ’94, so cusp of millennial and Gen Z). I read a lot about how men my age or slightly younger are drifting ‘right,’ but honestly, a lot of what’s considered right-wing these days seems extremist and alternative to me. Then I read about ‘the left,’ and a lot of that also doesn’t really fit with my opinions.

I’m definitely more left than right, but I’d distinguish between traditional left and some modern left shit. I do care about wealth inequality, and I think socializing services is the solution to that. Universal healthcare, for example. I think we should tax the fuck out of billionaires.

But then I also believe in small government, in the sense that people should be allowed to do what they want, provided it doesn’t hurt anyone else. Under that umbrella, I’d include abortion, being gay or trans, owning guns, fireworks, etc. I guess kind of libertarian views — except I know my feelings on guns and abortion fall across differing sides of the political aisle (even though I’d cite the same reason for both).

And then there’s left stuff I don’t align with. I’m pro-LGBTwhatever, but I’m anti-identity politics. I don’t put pronouns in my work email signature because I think it’s performative bullshit. I don’t think the left should focus so much on identity. I think shit like ‘cultural appropriation’ is nonsense.

I didn’t mean to offend every possible group in this post, but I’m guessing that might be the result. So my question is: What is my tribe in 2025? Am I a political island? Anyone else feel similar to me?”
