A popular narrative suggests young people are liberal and getting more liberal. Thus, social media buzzed when a chart surfaced in spring that seemed to suggest 12th-grade boys had become overwhelmingly 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.

If the “boys” do it...the “girls” will soon follow.
Naturally!
These girls and boys have been preyed upon by the global elites. They want depopulation and control of the planet. This is reminiscent of China’s cultural revolution. People need to start reading up on it because it’s being used on us big time.
“Boys, no mention of girls.”
From the article:
“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.”
The article, as you would expect, is really slanted to the left. They make fun of Trump. They interview one 20-year-old boy who said he was conservative at 18 but now considers himself a liberal. He goes to a very liberal college and has a hyphenated last name.
Repeal the 19th, and we’ll see some real improvement.
“The pendulum swings.a.”
My wife and I (in our 80’s plus our siblings) are basically conservative at this time.
Our west coast youngsters, 21-29 are silent conservatives, and their cousins in the Mid West/SW are becoming more conservative as time moves on.
My wife and her many cousins/SILs in her age bracket were basically hard working moderates with real degrees or RNs.
She and her cousins became conservative after the Cuban missile crisis, the birth of their children and the angry rioting during the Nam B$.
Basically, the young adult children from our age group are silent and hard working conservatives with a few hard working moderates. All appreciate our country and what they have received in life.
I have 3 young adult boys—2 are conservative and 1 is libertarian. All went to college (and 2 in CA!) managed to resist/escape the leftist indoctrination.
MAGA men... ready to join the ranks. This is great news.
Bless you and yours
We had a family dinner last week which consisted of 3 of my 7 grandchildren. My son’s two boys were present and have an extremely liberal mother. From an early age she’s been indoctrinating them. We usually avoid politics like the plague but somehow the topic of abortion came up. The 16 year old said “I’m prolife”. I thought his mother would choke. He said if you have unprotected sex you run the risk of getting pregnant and if you do that’s life. His brother ,who has always parroted his mother’s views ,agreed. That discussion ended abruptly.
Just keep them away from indoctrination centers known as universities.
Congratulations, on what sounds like a great family.
bravo!
“This generation of boys have been attacked their whole life by almost all institutions.”
True and well said.
Thank you and a return on the blessing to you and your family.
Well said.

Thanks they are pretty wonderful.
My oldest grandson goes to a college in North Carolina. He comes from a very liberal private school in CA. As a freshman in college he was pretty liberal, he’s now going into his senior year and admitted to being much more conservative.
