In a YouTube video that was uploaded about a month before the election, a young, blond man in baggy jeans and a graphic T-shirt sits alone at the center of a circle of folding chairs.
One by one, people approach him to debate issues like abortion, inflation and whether former President Donald J. Trump’s policies would benefit the middle class. The video, titled “Can 1 Woke Teen Survive 20 Trump Supporters?,” has been viewed more than 14 million times since it was posted by the debate-centric media company Jubilee.
The “woke teen” in question is Dean Withers, a now-20-year-old liberal content creator who lives in Colorado. Mr. Withers has been debating politics online since 2022 but rapidly gained traction in the final stretch of an election in which Republicans improved their performance with young men.
Gen Z men have reported feeling economically dissatisfied and socially left behind, frustrations that President-elect Trump sought to channel with the help of an online “manosphere” of podcasters and influencers. In the aftermath of an election in which many Democrats believe they were outflanked online, some are scrambling to find bro whisperers of their own.

"When Mr. Withers began attending a public high school, in 2018, he became exposed to more points of view. He befriended a lesbian couple who challenged the anti-L.G.B.T.Q. rhetoric he had been taught in Catholic school, he said."
He grew up in a conservative Catholic family until he went to public school and met a lesbian couple.

Nope, the message is the problem for the Democrats
Re-rapping the package does not solve the problem
Like most Leftists, I am sure he “debates” carefully choose parodies of Trump supporters. I doubt he would try out someone like Ben Shapiro or Charlie Kirk.

His is the classic example of having an open mind — and the brain falling out.

An “open mind” as long as he allowed to lie without challenge.
The Alt Left cannot make a rational argument for their views. All they can do is gas lighting, lying and appeals to emotion.
In other words, act like spoiled teenagers.

Please allow me to correct myself.
His story of high school is that to which I was referring.
