Back over the past twenty years....if you asked most Germans how youth-voters (meaning 16-to-20 year old Germans) were trending....the majority of older Germans would respond....they were trending toward left-causes...or the SPD Party/Green Party.
I sat and read through a Focus piece written by Julia Rohrs. She says there's a new trend, and it worries people.
Young voters are now trending toward the right.
'Problem kids'? Well....that's the suggestion.
Should folks worry? I'm not if 'worry' is the word I'd use.
Some of this I think....is social media attention (not X/Twitter....but TikTok).
Some of it relates to the way that the Ukraine/Russia war is trending.
Some relates to economic problems.
Overwhelming issue? No....to what they suggest....maybe one out of five is trending this way. Now, if we got to a point where one out of three folks were hyped-up and consumed for right causes....yeah, it might be worth discussing.
The odd factor here? No one seemed that worried when the group was trending heavily to the left.

A quick google search of kids leaning left reveals quite a lot of media hysterics about this topic.
