Since 1975, Monitoring the Future<\/a> has conducted an ongoing study of the behaviors, attitudes, and values of Americans from adolescence through adulthood.<\/p>\n

Their recent survey shows young men are trending conservative.<\/p>\n

In 2022, the study\u00a0found that 23% of 12th grade boys<\/a> identified as conservative with only 13% describing themselves as liberal.<\/p>\n

Over the decades, the study shows that, while conservative identification in young men trended upwards in the 80s and early 90s, it steadily declined until recent years when the shift to the right was noted.<\/p>\n

Young women, however, are trending more to the left with\u00a0with 30% identifying as liberal in 2022, compared to 12% conservative.<\/p>\n

The New York Post shared that young men are not just trending conservative, they are fired up:<\/a><\/p>\n

\u2018They call me racist. I\u2019m black and Puerto Rican\u2019: Elias Cunningham, 15<\/strong><\/p>\n

Around the 2016 elections, Cunningham, then age 8, took an interest in politics, originally leaning left. But, in 2021, he started doing more research and veering right. The Cornwall, NY, native also chafed at how prominent the promotions for gay pride seemed to be in his community.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have respect for everyone,\u201d said Cunningham, a devout Christian. \u201cI just don\u2019t think sexuality should be pushed down children\u2019s throats.\u201d<\/p>\n

When he started at Washingtonville Senior High School in 2022, he was also upset by a student-teacher who would scold pupils for getting their pronouns incorrect.<\/p>\n

Now a high school sophomore, he said that classmates have harassed him in the halls and on social media for some of his viewpoints \u2014 such as an Instagram post saying men shouldn\u2019t be playing women\u2019s sports. They\u2019ve called him a \u201ctransphobe\u201d and a \u201cracist.\u201d<\/p>\n

Daniel Idfresne\u00a0<\/a>wrote an article in the Free Press before his senior year entitled, \u00a0\u201cI\u2019m 17. And I\u2019m immunized from woke politics.\u201d<\/p>\n

Idfresne writes, \u201cI\u2019m a first generation, 17-year-old Black American who grew up in Bedford-Stuyvesant, the Brooklyn neighborhood made famous by Jay-Z.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cGiven that brief biography, perhaps you\u2019d assume that I\u2019m a Black Lives Matter slogan-chanting, capitalism-chastising teen activist. Or that I\u2019m an at-risk youth, destined for dropping out or incarceration.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYou\u2019d be wrong on both counts.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m a religious Christian and political conservative with an after-school job as a dishwasher at Panera: three things that, if we\u2019re to believe the statistics about Gen Z<\/a>, make me an outlier.\u201d<\/p>\n

Idfresne shares he was shunned for daring to speak his mind but has found that it is much easier in college telling The Post,\u00a0\u201cIf you find a group of friends who work on themselves, they go to the gym, they\u2019re decently charismatic \u2026 chances are they\u2019re probably conservative \u2014 if they\u2019re a young guy. There are way more young men who are right-wing than even the polls show.\u201d<\/p>\n
