In the 2024 U.S. presidential election, a seismic shift caught many political analysts off guard: young voters, assumed to be a reliably progressive demographic, showed unprecedented support for conservative candidates. This was no fleeting anomaly. Rather, it reflects a cultural transformation among America's youth, in particular young men, one that is steering them toward traditionalism and a rejection of the liberal paradigms that have dominated their cultural landscape for decades. From a resurgence of traditional religious practices to a renewed appreciation for authentic, skill-driven music, the young are embracing values that align with Traditionalism. As politics is downstream from culture, this shift is not only reshaping the present but will influence elections for years to come.
Traditionalism, as described, is a belief in timeless, sacred principles that shape a higher, spiritual order for society. Tradition comes from divine truths and guided ancient civilizations with strong hierarchies and spiritual focus.
A Cultural Awakening: The Rejection of Empty Promises..
At the heart of this transformation is a growing disillusionment with the hollow promises of modern liberalism. Young people, raised in an era of rapid technological change, social fragmentation, and existential uncertainty, are seeking meaning and stability in timeless institutions and traditions. Nowhere is this more evident than in the realm of religion,
....
This political realignment is not confined to white voters, as some might assume. Latino and black youth are also showing increased support for conservative candidates, driven by economic concerns and cultural alignment with conservative values like faith and family.

A significant catalyst appears to be the fallout from institutional failures, particularly in public education, exacerbated by the COVID-19 lockdowns
...
The lockdowns exposed what public schools were teaching, and many parents didn’t like what they saw. Controversies erupted over critical race theory and gender ideology.

This is very encouraging. With all that’s going on, it will increase, imo.
I believe the “**** Joe Biden” (FJB) chant originated at a college football game.
Many of them realize there is more to living than being a democrap government working debt slave.
I would imagine some of those who were punished or had their lives negatively impacted by the leftists’ nonsense regarding COVID-19 might be in play here.
It was at a NASCAR event.
That one lone voice went viral.
From there, it became a movement.
A quote from one of the dads of the Minnesota high school softball team that lost the state championship to the team with a boy pretending to be a girl: “You’re looking at a whole team of future Republicans”.
Hopefully.
I think that’s correct.
As would I.
Esp young men
College gals not so much
Author didn’t mention whether the Catholic church or conservative values were truthful values. Gravitating towards conservative societal values because liberal, progressive values didn’t deliver promised results is not going to hold the youngn’s forever. Shaping their lives and their actions based on values and beliefs that are unerringly, and eternally true, will.
IMHO
Watch carefully. The rise and resurgence of men is happening. I lead a men’s Bible fellowship, and our ranks are swelling with young men in their 20s who are stalwarts to Biblical norms challenging contemporary assessments of the Bible and looking DEEP into Biblical context like I’ve never seen before. A handful of them recently went to Kenya to build schools, and they were filled with the Spirit like I can’t explain.
As is the natural order, women are following them. They are marrying good Christian women and even going so far as to wait until marriage to be intimate. They are casting off social and peer pressures to be promiscuous, focusing instead on their health and wellness, taking up blue collar jobs, and praying several times a day.
From your lips to God's ears. I truly believe that most people deep down are normal and just want to live their lives in peace.
But it does seem like the wrong season presently, and the wrong spirit is running loose in a certain percentage of the population.
[and looking DEEP into Biblical context like I’ve never seen before. A handful of them recently went to Kenya to build schools, and they were filled with the Spirit like I can’t explain]
I can testify that the surge in some numbers ESPECIALLY since last November are indeed real - in some cases, I have the actual numbers - there has been a significant increase over the last 2.5 years and, again, significantly since just before the election (when I noted one particular count)
People ARE paying attention - and I think this is why you’re seeing pushback on the “transgender” lie and even some gay pride events are losing sponsors / having trouble selling tickets (refunds for one the other day)
We ARE making a difference - at least to some degree
A major difference between Christianity and Islam is Christianity is founded on reverence for the truth.
Allah, the Islamic God is the greatest of deceivers. Mohammed says so in the Koran.

Of course, Muslims deny this and claim the word means something else.
At the heart of this transformation is a growing disillusionment with the hollow promises of modern liberalism.
It's a good sign...
I know that my wife and I are and so is our friends - (mostly young parents). We talk about homeschooling, and Trump. We all voted for Trump in 2024 and 2020.
