Hmm I wonder if it has anything to do with the constant bashing of white males from the left ?

Even worse for Democrats, in the last two years, support from white millennial men has gone from the Democrats leading Republicans by 12% to the Republicans leading by 11%, a shocking 23% shift.
The generation comprises people born from 1982 up to 2002, so this probably has a lot to do with many of these individuals reaching adulthood, settling in to more serious jobs, having families and having things to conserve such as a home, savings, etc that they do not with to see squandered by assaults from the Democrats.
A 23% shift does not mean 23% of millennial Democrats have turned to Republicans, and that's not what the story even says.
What it’s saying is that Democrats just lost 23% of their voters. Whether they vote Republican or third party or stay home, then it’s still 23% less votes for democrats.
As people mature, they actually become more libertarian. The problem is most of them still vote Republican because that's what they've been brainwashed to believe.

Yesterday on the Rush Limbaugh program, a guy called in who said he was a gay millennial from (IRRC) New York. He said that he had voted twice for Obama. The host expressed surprise, and the man just said, "I know, I know."
He is now conservative, having been influence by something called the 'walk away movement.' There is also the 'red pill' movement. I don't know if she coined it, but the expression has been used by millennial conservative activist Candace Owens. It seems there are so many of these converts that two outlets had to be created.

Well, when you have a two party system you have to vote for the lessor of the two.
I suspect that any 23% decline in white men supporting Democrats would be represented by the "bottom of the barrel economic demographic" and as such ...is not much of a loss!
