Young Republicans on Why Their Party Isn’t Reaching Gen Z (And What They Can Do About It)

I think my generation and also Gen Z is very emotionally conscious, very emotionally aware. And, unfortunately, a lot of the Republican language has been very divisive and angry. I think that oftentimes the left capitalizes on fear, and they’re selling them a false purpose in life. I think media is the biggest thing that skews that information. Democrat Party tends to sell dreams and fantasies: “Cancel student debt. We can get away with all our problems.” I think the Democratic Party is more about stagnation of where you are and being content with yourself. Most of my – people my age don’t want to go to work. They want to stay home and play on their phones. They want to stay home and, you know, surf the internet. We need to just tell people in my generation that it’s time to go to work, to not be woke. We’re feeling the effects of poor policies: my generation with the tax burden, and even Gen Z as they’re entering into the work force. You have people not confident in their financial status, and that is something that we should improve on. We’re not paying taxes yet, my generation, so they’re not appealing to us. Young people – they’re starting to realize that there’s more to life than what the Democratic Party is selling to them. And most ultimately, that’s Jesus Christ. That’s Jesus Christ who died on the cross for their sins. I think just having these conversations, like finding a way to talk to these people face-to-face and have a constructive conversation. I mean, how else are you going to change someone’s opinion than talking to them?
