Generation Z is supposed to lean conservative.
How the generations play out is always very interesting.
The Depression Generation (Greatest Generation) - They had nothing and gave everything. They were very strict and hard on their kids and did not have much to give them but advise.
The Baby Boomers - Were given growth and prosperity, however focused on themselves since they never had much. Tended to be absent parents and kids were given wide leeway to raise themselves.
Generation X - Responded to having absent parenting with helicopter parenting. They birthed the participation trophy kids. This got us to our current state
Generation Y (That generation we hate) - Were coddled by their parents and were give a trophy for just being alive. Most of our PC and SJW is from here. Have a rough time with the lack of opportunities with Baby Boomers/Gen X still lingering in the work place and jobs being automated with technology. Led to believe a college degree is a requirement.
Generation Z (Current generation) - Generation is being produced from Gen X and Gen Y, since many Gen X are having kids later in life. The first truly connected generation with technology, with many kids able to work phones, computers and tablets before they can read. Growing up in PC and SJW world and seeing how no progress is being made forward with focusing on peoples feelings. Generally are focused on making the world a better place.

I remember someone handing me that fricking Dr. Spock book and thinking, "you have to be shitting me". Thank God I didn't get on board.
Unfortunately, my peers? Yeah. frick those morons.

I think this is the first group that has seen nothing other than the SJW world.
While millennials developed it and so, feel emotionally attached to it, the group after them is the one being forced to live in the pigeon holes.
More to the point, like all things left, it probably would still be popular if they were still just fighting for equal treatment and opportunity. But now, they've gone all in to eating their own.
I suspect the following generation has noticed........"wait, there's no pleasing these frickers".
