It's fun to slag on teenage boys but IMO they're not so much ideologically right-wing as they are desperate for the approval and mentorship of older dudes a lot of the time, and we are letting them down on that score (either by trying to indoctrinate them or not interacting with them at all).
Coaching my kids in Little League. Taking them to Mets/Islanders games. Going to see “dude-coded” bands like the Hold Steady. Making cocktail mixology a hobby. Yeah, none of this stuff that I enjoy is remotely like listening to Joe Rogan.
