A recent survey shows that more high school senior boys identify as conservative than liberal, but the vast majority of them consider themselves moderate or apolitical. This is not indicative of anything new. The hostile Left, in its hateful perception and treatment of masculinity, is hindering young men from comfortably entering the political atmosphere. It is successfully shutting men up, and it is successfully losing them.

The survey was taken in 2022 by Monitoring the Future, a research group from the University of Michigan that has been tracking 8th, 10th, and 12th graders annually since the 1970s. Thirty-six percent of the senior boys who participated identified as either liberal or conservative. Almost twice as many of them identified as conservative, hence the hype over the survey among right-wingers on social media.
