What disconnect are you talking about precisely? And why do these guys have to become Trumpists? Most of them seem fairly reasonable. There are no demonstrations of xenophobia or real sexism in the entire movie. Would you say the same thing if the university had been an East Coast campus?

The disconnect is how these guys, who as you say aren't xenophobic or sexist, might age into people who think that xenophobia and sexism are at the very least not a big enough problem to not vote for a guy. And yes, the location plays some role in my assessment, but so do demographics. You can look up the vote splits for yourself. I don't think it's such a bold declaration.

College educated males did vote for him in their slight majority, but that's a bad generalisation. It's not like an 90-10 split like it is for the black demographic. If you factor in Texas the argument gets stronger, but it's still a grave assumption to be making.

Plus they basically spend the film trying to grab women by the pussy.

What's grave about it? I'm not writing them off. In fact, I'm doing the opposite, so what's the problem here?

I'd disagree with this statement. They're trying to get laid, yeah, but the women we see participating all seem to be after the same thing.

No they don't. They spend the entire movie trying to flirt and sleep with them. That's not the same thing at all. They respect the women they're with, even when they're just between guys. No one's going around bragging about how many he's conquered, there are no contests, their conversations do not slut shame or denigrate.

The boy wanted to watch this. All I can say is that I found a movie worse than Batman V Superman in 2016.

Yeah, I don't agree with this "pussy grabbing" take at all. I thought the film offered an interesting look at how the pursuit of sex influences identity. I thought it made an interesting connection between biology and sociology.

Everyone is taking Bondo's throwaway one-liner awfully seriously, lol.
