If you were to believe Democrat Party puppet Harry Sisson, a young influencer who looks and acts like a Democrat AI-generated character, Gen Z is a generation of leftists.
In fact, the running knowledge is that Gen Z is a giant voting well for the Democrats and one that they used to influence the midterm elections, helping prevent the prophesied “red wave” that was going to sweep the House and Senate. To be sure, a lot of that is true.
However, something is happening in the younger parts of Gen Z that looks bizarre considering how that generation voted in the midterms. According to The Hill, Gen Z high school boys are becoming increasingly conservative:
As with many Reddit posts and viral tweets, the truth was more complicated. But the numbers do say this: Twelfth-grade boys are nearly twice as likely to identify as conservative versus liberal, according to a respected federal survey of American youth.
In annual surveys over the last three years, roughly one-quarter of high school seniors self-identified as conservative or “very conservative” on the Monitoring the Future survey, a scholarly endeavor that dates to the 1970s. Only 13 percent of boys identified as liberal or very liberal in those years.
The figures represent a striking shift in the political views of boys. As recently as the late 2000s, liberal boys occasionally outnumbered conservatives. Back in the Carter era, both boys and girls leaned liberal.
According to a recent study, high school senior boys are trending conservative. Waiting on the corporate media to tell me whether this is the fault of Andrew Tate or GamerGate.

Meanwhile, high school girls are trending to the left at around the same pace according to The Hill:
Nowadays, it is girls who are drifting to the left. The share of 12th-grade girls who identified as liberal rose from 19 percent in 2012 to 30 percent in 2022. Only 12 percent of girls identified as conservative in last year’s survey, administered by the University of Michigan.
Why this is happening has people scratching their heads and the best they can come up with is to blame Trump and video games, but looking at the socio-political landscape, we can make an educated guess as to what’s happening.
If you tell someone they aren’t welcome and deride them constantly, they’ll eventually go where they’re more appreciated.
The Democrat Party, which invests heavily in modern feminist ideals, has reiterated its disdain for men and masculinity repeatedly. In an age where boys are being inundated by the leftist narrative that they’re awful just for being boys, they’re naturally going to migrate to places and people who don’t look at them as defective.
As such, boys are listening to people like Joe Rogan, Tim Pool, Ben Shapiro, and more. Boys have effectively migrated out of the bubble the Democrats attempted to set for them and as such, messaging from other sources is reaching them more easily. You can even see this happening in the entertainment sector where the “toxic masculinity” of Japanese manga and anime has now outstripped the American industry by leaps and bounds.
Just by looking at the way high school girls of the same age are drifting leftward, we can see that the political outlook on the sexes plays out. Women and girls are heralded as wonderful and great by the left and everything the Democrat Party does is for their benefit, or so they claim. Naturally, girls are going to migrate toward the party that gives them the warmest welcome, and so they go there.
Being so young, these political preferences may shift and change by the day, but if this trend continues, it’s not going to mean too much good for Democrats. For one, people do tend to become more conservative as they get older and the idealism of youth is replaced by the reality of being a grown-up. Secondly, while many women may become and stay leftists well into their adulthood, many women end up voting the way their husbands do and seldom the other way around.
So if the Democrats continue to push away men, then men will find themselves pulling the lever for Republicans. Should women marry those men, they will statistically pull the lever for Republicans too.
Time will tell, but patterns hold, time is running out for Democrats thanks to their own misandry.
It is true that democrats target the young and dumb and naive. Get them before they wake up to reality and start voting with their heads. The part of gen-z that votes democrat, is the most ignorant part of society.
Literally half of generation zzzzzzz is below average IQ
Given the idiot gynocracy we live in I am not surprised at all what is going on.
“Meanwhile, high school girls are trending to the left at around the same pace...”
Ugh! I’ve been Conservative since I was in High School. I worked ONE political campaign for a Socialist Democrat, and my eyes were OPENED. One and DONE!
I’m sure the ‘Repeal the 19th Amendment’ FR gang will be here soon enough. ;)
And in all honesty? Unless you have some SKIN in the game (as in being a productive TAXPAYER and property owner) you really do NOT have the ‘right’ to keep voting PERKS for yourself and your (mostly) illegitimate offspring, Ladies!
And don’t even get me started on Soccer Moms, LOL!
They’re Gen XI.
Fortunately my Tau Beta Pi child, with a 3.95 GPA, isn't among them and is very conservative. Reason, not emotion, is the m.o. here.
Gen Z is 50% non-white (no European heritage).
Most of them are Democrats.
White (European heritage) Gen Z vote almost exactly like their white parents, but a little more to the Left.
White Gen Z females - 45%-50% Republican.
White Gen Z males - 55%-60% Republicans.
Non-white Gen Z males and females - 70%-80% Democrat
Well, certainly too many of them are democrats, that is for sure.
Yet you seem to forget that considerably fewer younger generation, non-whites vote for the left than their parents do and a lopsided majority of children born to interracial marriages/relationship with one white parent end up voting Republican & breaking the black/Democrat link. You also seem to ignore that majorities of Hispanics in some of the largest, most competitive states (Florida, Texas) voted for conservative, Republican candidates in the last couple of elections. I’m sorry but race, age & even gender demographics are not destiny. People & life are way too complex to be pigeonholed that easily. Reality isn’t that reductive. Has the demographic wave created more of a challenge than might have been the case with our homegrown population & their offspring (which by international standards is regarded as extraordinarily conservative compared to all modern democracies)... to a degree, but no where near enough to favor the left. We still lean well to the right, regardless of demographic nonsense! 😉
Better yet, there’s too many kkkommiecrats!
I wound up in a group of guys 13-23 on XBox last week, and all of them leaned right. As soon as they found out I owned guns, they were instantly friendlier.
I guess only the retarded Tiktokkers are Dim.
Trump received...
Black Vote - 12%
Hispanic Vote - 32%
Asian Vote - 34%
White Vote - 58%
The non-white ethnic percentages who vote Republican have barely changed since the Reagan-Mondale election in 1984, almost 40 years ago.

By the way - the Black Texas Republican who won the seat in a Hispanic Congressional District in 2020 refused to endorse Trump.
