In the run-up to the theft of the 2020 election (can you hear the creams?), a bunch of liberals posing as moderate Republicans (on college campuses, of course) created something called GEN Z GOP. Pro Climate, Anti-Trump, need I say more?
A new political action group based (allegedly) in Massachusetts has announced its presence. It’s called Gen Z GOP. They are a young, moderate, anti-Trump front group who appear to exist to advance liberal priorities behind the patina of opposing unproductive discourse. …
A majority y of Gen Z embraces more progressive government involvement in everything. Hence, their version inevitably leads toward America getting screwed by the world (wealth inequality, and all of that). “Reform border security” means back to more open borders (vote-stealing and district stuffing), and the bit about health care is, well, more like failed ObamaCare. You can’t be for the free market and the imposition of public power into private business or anything else.
Climate Change? Green Jobs? Sorry, neither is suitable for the climate or jobs. It’s a lose-lose.
In essence, what we have is another third-way progressive Democrat front group running cover for more incremental progressive conquest.
What the hell happened to Gen Z GOP? In the middle of 2021, they stopped trying to be relevant, not that they were. Their Medium Page, for example, has 21 followers. The content post-election is not very pro-Biden, which is odd because prior to the election, GEN Z GOP appeared to be more for Biden than Trump.
Their X account does have an update from a year ago, but it is not active or current.
To be clear, GEN Z GOP does not appear to have anything at all to do with Gen Z Republicans in general. As I noted when it first appeared, this looks like another leftish-funded Lincon Project (Coffee Party, No Labels) pretending to be a moderate cut-out meant to drag GEN Z further Left than Center.
Subversion. If you’d like a historical example, Antifa was created not so much to stop the Fascists but to recruit brownshirts to the redshirt cause. They were a subversive movement formed in 1930s Germany to convince people who already agreed with them on a lot of things that National Socialism didn’t go far enough and to embrace Marxist Leninist socialism. We saw something similar a few decades later when Chinese Communist “thinkers” decided that everything that was not their communism was fascism, including Russian Communism, which modern leftists, including 21st Century Antifa, ape alongside false claims that they are trying to save democracy.
Everything that is not their thing is Fascism, even though their thing (Marxism) is a kissing cousin on the totalitarian family tree.
So, what happened to them? Gen Z Gop. The same thing usually happens to groups with no principles. Lacking outside funding to prop them up, they wither and become meaningless. It could be a lack of interest, the lack of foundational principles (Climate Cult lite is stupid and ignorant), or perhaps the discovery that the college kids who started it have since graduated into the hellscape that resulted from the real-world application of the watered-down leftish priorities it embraced.
Democrats don’t do half-measures, and while there is plenty to complain about with the GOP, Trump isn’t exactly your traditional Beltway Republican whom GEN Z GOP was created to support. They hitched their horse to the wrong wagon and the stupid it burns.
Or, maybe, and more likely, they got bored. It was too hard. The money dried up. Or they grew up.
I’m open to other explanations.
