What The Hell Does The Republican Party Platform Offer The 18 to 30 Year Old? [View all]

If they're Latino, conservatives want to check their citizenship status at all times, deny them the right to vote, and deport them.

If they're African American, conservatives want to defund their public schools, deny them the right to vote, and put them in jail.

If they're women, conservatives want to inspect their reproductive systems at all times and defund Planned Parenthood.

If they're GBLT, conservatives want to convert them, deny their right to marry, and continue legal discrimination against them.

If they're poor, conservatives want to send their jobs overseas.

If they have student loans, conservatives want them to pay a higher interest rate.

If they're in the military, conservatives want to send them to Iran for yet another war.

Finally, conservatives want to over turn the ACA which would mean that those under 26 would be dropped from their parents' plans.

So, why in the world would anyone aged 18 to 30 ever want to support the Republican party.

What do Republicans offer America's youth?
