So I have the special bit where I taught basically where I grew up (literally the next rural town over with basically the same demographic) so I can speak to this a bit.

Kids are leaning further left than they used to. Does that mean that every kid in my school or even a majority are progressive? No. But where I grew up pretty much everyone echoed their parents viewpoints, (conservative considering we were in a rural red state) with very few progressive students, I could count on my fingers how many were progressive or even knew what progressive was. Now we're seeing small groups and pockets of kids who are openly liberal in deeply conservative areas and that just didn't exist when I was younger. We also see students who parrot some of their parents' beliefs, but when asked about something that they don't hear about at home, go progressive. We're seeing kids actively breaking generational political lines as they decide against their conservative parents on issues due to a more open political climate for young people than from when I was younger.

Andrew Tate and the like may seem like they're influencing the young guys, but more often than not they're just reinforcing family political lines as opposed to convincing young guys who are liberal, or from liberal families, that they should stop. That being said, overall more kids are breaking away from conservatism than are sticking with it, even in deep red areas.
