Where else are you going to go?

As a millennial, In my opinion there are 2 reasons for the Republican's issue in gaining the genZ and millennial support
1. We want more social freedoms. We believe the government has no right to dictate our lives. My body my choice, both ways. Do drugs, not my right to tell you no. You are gay? Cool, doesn't matter. Marriage is a religious institution not a government responsibility. Tax implications are another story and if two people are “married” the federal government should not be regulating morality. This is where Republicans mess up. Stop focusing on these petty things and focus on what matters. (THE ECONOMY, FOREIGN AFFAIRS, SPENDING ON OTHERS WHILE WE STRUGGLE, ETC)
2. Indoctrination is a thing and it is getting worse. When I was young I was told by a student teacher “democrats are for the people and republicans are for corporations”, BUT IT WASNT THROWN INTO MY CARTOONS! This "Nick news" aka political ad, has been running on Nickelodeon, over and over for at least a week.
The bigger issue is that the Republican Party has an underlying problem that is hard to fix: liberals hate them and conservatives don’t trust them. That’s a terrible place for a brand to be.
Good post @ 29
We are still going to have some victories (Arizona is going to break our way I think) and as I have said many times - we need to take back control of the GOP before we expect to take on the whole world in national politics.
The GOP leadership is killing us. They DID NOT help our candidates at all.
The GOP needs to quit thinking that it is so darned clever, and instead the elected officials should do their jobs and represent their constituents.
They should stop telling people what to do and instead build consensus, and then act on that consensus.
Most of us really truly are not that interested in all the particulars of sexual identity of
Every
Single
Human
On
The
Planet.
Truly, there is more to life than ever-changing rigid social codes.
There’s science! there’s a whole internet full of cat videos! and then too there are all the non-sexy legislative updates that need to be made on privacy. There’s a whole wide world of economic policy! So many possibilities!
1. Conservatives gave up control of institutions due to complacency and myopic focus on only direct political elections. While Dems understand in waging war beyond just the ballot box. There is not a single major institution that goes to bat for conservatives these days. Even stereotypical ‘conservative’ institutions like churches, the military, and corporations either don’t support us or go to bat for dems. These, especially the media and educational institutions give a big advantage to the left.
2. Adjacent to this Sillycon valley companies control the public fora these days and shifted massive numbers of voters through various more and less overt means.
3. GOP failed to appeal to key demographics. In the 90s asians were much more centrist but they were ignored so they ended up going Dem because thats the default party where minorities are supposed to go.
4. Conservatives play by the Dem rules. On most social issues Dems (again with the media’s help_ have made their positions the ‘default’ ones and their assumptions the default. The GOP has to struggle to explain that they aren’t racist or why their plans don’t take away too much reproductive freedom since abortion is classified as a civil rights issue rather than a murder issue.
5. Infighting and no clear conservative leader. You have the wuss RINOs on one side ready to cave into whatever Dems want and Trump on the other who is going batty in his old age, seems more interested in stroking his own ego on social media than advancing conservatism, and cannot build a loyal team to save his life. If we only had someone who had trump’s courageousness and showmanship with the cunning and skills of a more typical politician. But thems the breaks.
The fags don’t want to admit the tax benefits are for children.
If you have none, you get boned on taxes while married.
great minds...... see my post below yours
“ Republican’s need to shut up about the decisive social issues and focus on what they do best! The economic policy!”
Conservatives are not going to redefine their ideology to accommodate a bunch of Z tards
You will be voting for Trump in Nov. ‘24.
Get used to the idea.
Where else are you going to go?
The more you say immorality is ok and let people just do what they want without consequence, the more of a crime-ridden sh*thole you get. The more crime, the more people want security. The more security they want, the bigger the government gets to provide that security. The bigger the government gets to provide that security, the more taxes you pay. The more taxes you pay, the more government has to grow (more IRS agents) to collect those taxes, etc, etc. And that’s why social issues are important too.
Go mow a lawn Dag.
Yet Government is using precisely your rhetoric to ram THEIR morality - the morality you seem so tolerant of - down our and our families throats. Replacing the one you (and they) are contemptuous of.
And that is fine?
Quite a conundrum, eh?
(Cool, doesn’t matter)
Cool. Wait for the flash. (to author)
Just as prophesied.
They won’t be able to comprehend what just happened, what is happening and how it all got so much worse, so rapidly.
Daniel 12:10.
(As a millennial)
Judges 2:10
Ha! Very good!
Go read Romans 1:18-32 and ponder on it, then pray to know Jesus. The moral issues are the rot from which everything else will, in time, flow.

“We want more social freedoms.”
Seriously Dag, what more do you want than you already have? Total licentiousness has been here for years.
Winner.
But that’s all so old-fashioned.
Tagline.
Because: Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.
John Adams
So long as the lack of morals does not infringe on the life, liberty, or property of others
This is an impossible proposition. For example, how does abortion not infringe on someone else's life (the child in or almost out of the womb)?
The half that are “Ztards” arent likely to have much of a say any more than the normal ones. They will be overwhelmed by “Mtards” just as X was outshouted by the demented faction of the boomers.
Conservative positions
Your body, your choice, decided at the state level because it is NOT an enumerated power of the federal government to involve itself in personal medical/religious decisions.
Do drugs. Fine, legalize every drug. BUT-- no subsidized health care AND insurance companies can charge you crazy premiums because you are placing yourself at risk for early chronic and very expensive illnesses (e.g. liver/kidney failure, congestive heart failure, etc.)
You are gay, fine. I hate gays, also fine. The government doesn't take a position either way. It doesn't offer additional protections for gays or those who hate gays. Freedom of association. If you are cool with gays, hire them, rent to them, whatever. If I despise them, then I can have nothing to do with them.
“Social Freedom” is not a limitless commodity. One person’s “Social Freedom” becomes another’s burden pretty quickly.
So the question is, what variety of “Social Freedom” can a healthy society best tolerate?
