I think you've missed the biggest factor: women are appealed to as a voting bloc. Policies, speeches, and whole town halls are devoted solely to one sex. Politicians appeal to women to get their vote.
Trump posted on Twitter just a few hours ago in response to Mark Cuban's swipe at his female voters. Amidst multiple insults at Cuban being an "insecure guy" and a "weak man", Trump expressly stated that "ALL women are great, whether strong or not strong" (emphasis his). That tweet racked up more than 28K retweets and 187K likes in less than 7 hours, many I KNOW from those who lambast weak men or "men" in scare-quotes for not being Real Men™️ anymore (biology be damned). The sentiment is as extremely widespread as it is polarised.
Many good and capable men have been checking out of society for decades because there is no underlying love (or biological dignity) for them. They won't fight if they don't thinking it's worth fighting for. They stop caring about those who don't care about him. I believe men check out of voting for similar reasons.
I agree - men are mostly ignored, especially by the Democrats (and I write that as a Democrat). Many men just feel the government doesn't support them, so why vote?
I agree, but would add that men's blackpilling goes even deeper than that. Even the ones who can envision a better way forward are more likely to see any action in that direction to be futile. It's not just that they see no benefit in voting for themselves but that they see no benefit for anyone. I talk to guys all the time who feel that the battle for individual welfare is already lost to the world's elites.
