High School Boys Are Trending Conservative

[Eraserhead]

On the topic in the OP,, a HUGE part of it is social media. All you have to do is look at the different social media platforms and look at who's influencing teen boys. It's guys like Andrew Tate and the many others like him,, toxic male creators that are pushing the idea that men are being oppressed, women are bad or aren't equals, that they need to be super masculine, that mental health issues aren't a real thing, etc. They prey on their insecurities and give them bullshit solutions. The types of people that push for misogyny, toxic masculinity and conspiracies tend to be right wing,, so teens hooked on that shit will also tend to identify with the right wing.
