Kellyanne Conway Asks Why GOP Is Unpopular With Young Voters, Twitter Answers
The former Donald Trump adviser went on Fox News on Monday night to discuss the GOP’s electoral chances, and she admitted to host Laura Ingraham that the party has “some work to do” with millennials and Gen Z.
“Fuck student loan debt relief! Fuck the environment! Fuck LGBTQ rights! Fuck reproductive rights!”
"Fuck universal healthcare! Fuck free school lunches! Fuck school safety!"
"Fuck higher minimum wage! Fuck free/subsidized healthcare!! Fuck internet equality!!!"
"Fuck the USPS, spend double at FedEx!!! Fuck free/subsidized food for children at school!"
"Fuck unions, you'll get slave wages with no time off and LOVE it!!! "
“Hey, how come our numbers with young voters look like shit!”
If she REALLY wants to know, she could start by talking to her own daughter, who very publicly hates her guts and everything she stands for.
Tone deaf...
Against education at almost every turn.
Against affordable healthcare and hasn't had a plan for a decade or more despite repeated claims it would be right after they repeal the ACA.
Against a livable wage.
Against a social safety net needed if they're not going to help people get an livable wage.
Against unions (which would help workers get a more livable wage)
Against reproductive rights, medical privacy, and the right for women to manage their long term health and financial needs
Against free speech despite all claims to the contrary
Against fair representation in government (e.g. gerrymandering, voting restrictions, ejecting fairly elected representatives, disenfranchising voters through made up stories, closing polling stations, hampering the census, incarcerating people who were given false information by the government about their voting rights, and on and on)
Against holding their own members accountable to obvious documented and admitted unethical behavior or the written law while trying to crucify the other party's members at the rumor of a conspiracy of a whisper of a fart
Against freedom of association (i.e. everyone is a communist, socialist, demon, traitor, satan, terrorist... because they went to a BLM rally, have a Disney Plus subscription, same sex partner, went to a drag show or are a drag performer, or because they like rainbows
Against holding police accountable and feel that "police aren't being tough enough"
Against feeding hungry children
Against housing homeless children
Against keeping children safe in a way that doesn't involve turning almost every public place we have into a high security prison with metal detectors, cameras, safe rooms, armed guards, regular military style drills, and everyone carrying a gun just in case, but also not allowing guns to events where they might be performing, because they don't want to be victims of gun crimes, but fuck everyone else
Against anything that might show bipartisanship because their stated goal to stop the other party from seeing any sort of success, but simultaneously crying foul that the other party is the one that is partisan
Against freedom of religion, because all freedom of religion means to them is freedom to practice specific versions of Christianity that only exist today in megachurches and in far right Christian media. Fuck that Society of Friends or Jesuits or anything that doesn't contain Southern in the title. And especially disallowing people not having a faith or questioning their faith. Disallowed!
Against mental healthcare and addiction care. The answer there is more Jesus and if they can't take Jesus then prisons are good. More prisons. EVEN MORE PRISONS!!!
Against family values, because as much as they say they're for them they reject happy and whole families all the time. They denigrate parents who are making the right choices for their children's health and well being. The threaten to throw them in jail and take their kids away. They block every effort for parents to get help to be able to take care of their children financially, emotionally, safety wise, or help with their hunger. They call loving parents pedos and groomers and crap on anyone that doesn't fit the 1950's white middle class model of family that their minds have concocted from TV shows and fever dreams
Against the climate killing us all and against any intervention that would help us survive as a species long term
Against intervening in obvious illegal aggression by other countries, instead they take the side of the aggressors
Against equity and diversity because it doesn't look like them and they like homogeny/hegemony not racism
and on and on and on about the things they simply won't stand for and while they dig deep into the culture wars of pronouns, feminism, the gay agenda, and what turns our frogs gay everyone else is worried about jobs, housing, war, violence, finding food, and hoping their kids and grandkids will make it to adulthood and live a better life than they have (if they today's generation even decides to have kids with how fucked they feel)
Also, when the GOP opened their door to right wing evangelicals, they also became the anti-science party, leading Republican politicians with no medical experience whatsoever to think they’re qualified to dictate public health policy. As a result, conspiracy theories and religiosity over science gave COVID free rein during the pandemic. Meanwhile, the GOP’s stubborn refusal to provide affordable health care to their red state constituents is literally killing off their base.
