Wisconsin College Republicans: GOP Presidential Candidates Must Embrace Social Media

By: Wisconsin Federation of College Republicans Gen Z voters in Wisconsin voted two to one for Joe Biden in 2020, 33% higher than Democratic turnout in the 2016 Presidential Election. The Wisconsin College Republicans and its chapters across the state support voter turnout among our peers, it is our belief, the increase in 74,000 votes coupled with President Biden’s 61-33 advantage among 18–24-year-old voters was undeniably a contributing factor in Biden’s 20,000 vote win in Wisconsin. As the representatives of the GOP on our campuses, we believe we have a mandate to avoid youth-related political oversights we have seen in previous elections. Fundamentally, GOP Presidential Candidates must utilize all tools available to them to gain support among the college-aged demographic. This is done through communication with this group. Candidates must literally go meet the voters at their own level. This is most effectively done through social media. A recent NPR story titled, Democrats consider how TikTok may fit into their 2024 campaign strategy, highlighted the importance of our demographic. In 2024 social media, including TikTok, X, and Instagram are equally as important as phone banking and radio ads were in the 80s and 90s. Given the importance of connecting with younger voters and statistics showing the trending increases in voter turn-out among 18–24-year-old Wisconsinites, we request all GOP Presidential hopefuls both embrace and utilize these vital campaign tools throughout the 2024 election cycle. https://www.wisconsinrightnow.com/wisconsin-college-republicans/?feed_id=5716&_unique_id=6567b2a1199cf

Wauwatosa Tells City Workers to Avoid Red & Green Christmas Decorations

Image
The City of Wauwatosa has instructed city workers that they should avoid using red and green in public spaces to celebrate Christmas. Instead, top city officials are urging them to decorate counters with purple and blue instead. The email went out this week from Deputy City Administrator Melissa Cantarero Weiss. It also notes that City Administrator James Archambo is on board with the instructions. In it, she urged city workers to embrace “inclusive decorating practices” and make Wauwatosa’s municipal buildings a “place that everyone can feel comfortable visiting throughout the holiday season.” City workers were urged to “opt for more neutral and inclusive decorations.” We received the email from multiple sources who questioned why Wauwatosa was making this a priority when the city has far more pressing issues. Even the White House doesn't go that far ; after all there is a National Christmas Tree. [caption id="attachment_155412" align="alignleft" wid...

The Coast Guard Academy’s Newest DEI Push

Image
By Michael R. Shevock DEI is a bad idea. It is divisive, racist, and anti-meritocratic. Coleman Hughes , Ayaan Hirsi Ali , Elon Musk , and a host of other first-rate minds have vigorously come out against it.  Yet, our Coast Guard leadership continues to promote it without discussion or debate. For an objective observer, that should be the first clue that something is very, very wrong. Supporters of this ideology are fond of the term ‘cultural competence,’ which they seem to believe is obtainable in a seminar or a classroom, but there are other paths to knowledge. For example, I enjoyed twenty-eight years in federal law enforcement, which, among other things, afforded me familiarity with the inside of a crack-house. Here are are some things I learned first-hand: (1) Underclass black America is indeed suffering unacceptable levels of violence and generational poverty; (2) Malcolm X was absolutely correct when he identified white liberals as an impediment to the progr...
