RNC Youth Chair Warns GOP Against Wasting Trump Term, Discusses Gen Z Politics

Gen Z's Political Engagement and Priorities

• 🎯 Gen Z is a sought-after voting block, with many currently siding with President Trump.
• 💡 Brilyn Hollyhand, RNC Youth Advisory Council Chair, emphasizes that his generation wants more action and change from politicians.
• ⏳ Hollyhand warns against repeating past mistakes where Republican control of the House and Senate in 2017 led to little accomplished, citing unfulfilled promises regarding border security, Obamacare repeal, and draining the swamp.

The Need for "Work Horses" in Politics

• 🐎 Hollyhand recounts a senator's advice distinguishing between "work horses" who do the actual legislative work and "show horses" who focus on media appearances.
• 🗣️ He stresses the need for politicians to be work horses and avoid being "armchair activists."
• 🏛️ The current political climate in 2025 is seen as having "DC inertia" setting in, despite Trump's return to the Oval Office.

Generational Betrayal and Policy Focus

• ⚠️ Hollyhand states that if the GOP Congress wastes another Trump term, it will be a "generational betrayal" because Gen Z is paying attention and wants to see history not repeat itself.
• 💰 He highlights President Trump's legislative push for policies beneficial to Gen Z, such as "no tax on tips" and "no tax on overtime," which directly impact Gen Z service workers.

Gen Z Men and the Democratic Party

• 📉 Hollyhand discusses David Hogg's departure from the DNC Vice Chair role, suggesting it reflects disarray within the Democratic party.
• 🚩 He argues that Gen Z men are "fleeing the left" because the Democratic party has abandoned them, labeling their masculinity as toxic and comparing them to negative historical figures.
• 🇺🇸 Hollyhand contrasts this with the Republican party's ability to get rid of incumbents and transform, attributing this to Donald Trump.

Promises Made, Promises Kept

• ✅ Hollyhand praises President Trump's executive orders and his ability to deliver on "promises made, promises kept."
• 📈 This commitment to fulfilling promises is seen as a key strategy for winning over Gen Z.
