"Republicans are just a bunch of rich, angry, white, old men."
This seems to be the general consensus amongst a number of young people who either lean to the political left or are not politically involved. However, it is not the case. A party seen as boring, dull, and far too traditional is not any of these things. The Republican Party of today — and more specifically the conservative movement — is so much more than what is seen in the media.
The conservative movement is youthful.
Organizations like Turning Point USA, Young America's Foundation, the Leadership Institute, and countless others serve students on high school and college campuses nation-wide. These organizations, often run by the students themselves, make a tangible impact on their respective campuses and empower students to make that same impact on a larger scale. They reach out to students of all backgrounds and their success stories are infinite.
The conservative movement is humorous.
Contrary to popular belief, conservatives do have the ability to laugh at things! Political satirists like Kat Timpf and other right-wing comedians disprove the notion that humor is restricted to those that lean left. Conservatives can poke fun at their political opposition and even find humor in their own movement.
The conservative movement is kind.
A far too common misconception is that conservatives do not care about people. However, many conservatives find themselves aligning with the movement because of, not in spite of, their care for people. Conservatives care about small business owners and sexual assault victims. They care about creating jobs and opportunities for people to get out of poverty. They care about protecting the nation we live in and the freedoms associated with it.
The conservative movement is passionate.
Currently, the passion in the conservative movement is stronger than ever. With powerhouses like Tomi Lahren, Mark Levin, and Megyn Kelley, the fervor in the right-wing is clearly evident. This passion is age blind, gender blind, and color blind. The conservative movement is truly something that people of all ages and backgrounds are currently supporting.
Though there are plenty of conservatives fit the above stereotype, there truly is so much more to the movement than what is seen on the surface. The conservative movement is a sum of all of its parts, not one part alone.
