What If We’ve Been Wrong About Young White Men? | Colin Davis

For years, we've been told that young white men are drifting to the political right. But what if we're asking the wrong questions? When I met fitness coach and content creator Colin Davis, I was reminded of my best friend who died at 18. It made me wonder: if he'd lived, who would he have become? Would he have followed the same path I did—or would he have been swept into the culture and politics that have transformed so many communities across America? Colin represents something too many people misunderstand. He works in a space—fitness and gym culture—that has become increasingly associated with the political right, yet he's building a different vision of masculinity rooted in community, personal responsibility, and democratic participation. In this episode, we discuss: How gym culture became intertwined with right-wing politics Why young men are searching for belonging The role of healthcare, economics, and social isolation What progressives often misunderstand about young white men Why local organizing matters more than most people realize How strength and empathy can exist together This isn't a conversation about young men. It's a conversation with one.
