Is it just me, or does it seem like the Republican Party hasn't wanted to be the majority in Congress since the 1920s.

Obviously, Charlie Kirk isn’t ignoring young people. There are Republicans that go to Turning Point events that fail to energize attendees. For example every presidential candidate except Trump, Ramaswamy, and the ones don’t show at all.

They had a brief resurgence in 1994. There were some good leaders (Gingrich, BOB Barr, etc.).
By the end of Clinton's presidency, they fell back into Bob Michel mode.

Why do you think that Gen Z is any difference. They don’t like their own base.

if you havent dealt with generation Z or dont know what that is. if you are over 50 YOU ARE THE ENEMY!!

They want you dead, they cant be reasoned with, they cant be bought, they have no pity, no remorse, they believe everything is your fault ,their life ,their bad coices, student loans, the fact they cant afford an iphone 16. ,

to them your death and them getting the inheritance is their only goal . their only hope for their lives. ,

they a literally the sorest , self butthurt people you will ever meet.

.bring cheese to go with all the whine.

Forget where I read it, but I did read that the Milenials were tending conservative.

Disillusionment can be a powerful political motivator. I have spoken to many a Millenial who has come to the realization that they were had.

I can remember that the Republicans did not like us kids who were next to go to South Vietnam AND the kids that were serving in SouthEast Asia AND the kids that just came back.

They did not know how to communicate with any of us.

Young people who are not progressive love sarcastic humor and satire. Don’t forget them enjoying the “let’s go Brandon” shouting at sports events. They loved “Epstein didn’t kill himself”. They listen to Ben Shapiro even if they disagree with him because they find his fast-talking spiel funny. They follow Babylon Bee and some other sites I don’t remember.
I’m talking more about young men, especially in the heartland.
These guys could be the future of the party, given the chance. Otherwise they will end up independent or not bothering to vote.
Will the GOP welcome them in and put them to work?
I hope so. I’m getting sick of old people who do not share power with the next generation. That’s a dead end street.

As a Gen X conservative, it was endless frustration being dismissed by the GOP in the 90s while Democrats actively recruited the youth vote. That cost us votes for 20 years. Let’s not do it again.

I’m sick of Gen this, Gen that...no clue without a chart.

Bottom line is most young people are idiots.

The ONLY hope is the new “counter culture” moment comes when they see how absolutely in control of everything. BUT.... I am no optimistic as their screens pump out non stop DNC commie propaganda.

That and the illegals will outbreed any sane Americans with a fresh crop of socialist American hating voters.

" Republicans Are Sleeping on the Gen Z Vote — it’s Going to Backfire"

The naïveté of believing "who votes counts."
