And our message to Gen Z is this, you’re going to be the generation that actually saves this country. You want to be a rebel? You want to be a hippie? You want to stick it to the man? Show up on your college campus and try calling yourself a conservative. Say you want, get married, have kids, teach them to believe in God, and pledge allegiance to their country, because you know what? Fear has been infectious in this country, but courage can be contagious too. That too is what it means to be an American.

And you know what? If you’re at home and you disagree with everything I just said, our message to you is this, we will still defend to the death your right to say it, because that is who we are as Americans. We are the country where we can disagree like hell and still get together at the dinner table at the end of it. That is the America I know. That is the America we miss. We do not have to be ancient Rome. We don’t have to be this nation in decline. We can still be a nation in our ascent. A nation whose best days, not in some fake politician way, but in a true way, a nation whose best days are actually still ahead of us, still on our way to that shining city on a hill.

That country where no matter who you are or where your parents came from, or what your skin color is, or how long your last name is, that you will still get ahead in this country with your own hard work, your own commitment, your own dedication. And that you know what, you are free to speak your mind at every step of the way. That is the American dream. That is what won us the American Revolution.

That is what reunited us after the Civil War. That is what won us two world Wars and the Cold War. That is what still gives hope to the free world. And if we can revive that dream over group identity and victimhood and grievance, then nobody in the world, not a nation, not a corporation, not a virus, not China is going to defeat us. That is what American exceptionalism is all about, and that is what we will revive this November when we send Donald J. Trump back to the White House. Thank you all. God bless you and your families, and may God bless our United States of America. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

This is the polar opposite to how Republicans have been governing. Polar opposite.

How much of the platform, speeches, and governing is about "woke"?

You know, for the 1000th time, if Republicans actually behaved the way they THINK they talk and govern? They'd have my support. They've spent the last 12 years "sticking it to the libs", and "the gays"....and ignoring the people they claim to support: the working class.

How'd the R's react to some dumb kid who dared to take a job for Bud light? Now try and fit that reaction in to the above paragraph, and try not to laugh at what Vivek is claiming.

... I think he lost it before today, but certainly a strong indication it was gone was signaled today. He threw in the towel when Harris Faulkner (FOX) asked him about Project 2025.

The very first step in achieving a party goal is saying it out loud, so you're accountable for attaining it. That's what politicians do at the convention, before an election.

It seems like the party's stated platform doesn't fit your assessment of the party or the oft portrayed conservative stereotype in the media.

Kamala is trying to get one of those good black jobs.

Time for OS and YA to break out the Lipstick to pretty up this pig. Can't wait for the inevitable rationalizations for such bad behavior. Pass the popcorn.

Shirt said “Trump 2024… I don’t give a FKCU about your feelings….” And a picture of Trump on the back of the shirt with Aviators on giving a double middle finger saying “You Missed!”….

The kid looked so unhappy.

Not a poll, but a clear indicator of a turn.
