Thanks for checking out our site! As you can tell by the name of the blog, I am a member of Generation Y, a.k.a. the Millennials. And in case you haven’t heard, my generation recently ousted the “baby boomers” as the largest voter bloc in America! #represent
Yes, that’s right. This year, political campaigns better shake up their game if they want to win us over. May the odds be ever in your favor.
I am also a Republican. Republican Millennials are more common than many people may think.
Now… If you’ve been paying attention to the shifting political tide, you know that my generation is full of people like me.
We may refer to ourselves as Republicans, conservatives, moderates, or libertarians…
But when we identify as Republicans, we often feel the need to clarify our personal stances on certain issues. Many young conservatives are hesitant to call themselves Republicans because of the negative stereotype Republicans have acquired by their backward stances on social issues.
Contrary to what many liberals will argue… we are not all the spawn of pompous, wealthy, homophobic, bible-thumping, backward traditionalists against birth control.
So yes, we’re fully aware that Republicans have been given a bad rep.
And yes, we know we can’t resurrect Ronald Reagan (unfortunately). But the sooner we accept this reality, the sooner our generation can begin building our own legacy. This is OUR time.
