The GOP should “change” — except it should do so for the good of the country and by posing a powerful alternative vision to the modern left’s.

In my view, the number one failing of the Republican Party is its messaging and use of language. - Kyle Becker/IJ Review

The Republicans know what’s right, but are unable to effectively communicate it. The biggest stumbling block is they don’t know how to defeat deceptive language and concede false premises whenever they adopt the left’s language. Stop it.

...what the GOP needs is a Declaration of Personal Independence for young people to latch onto and emboldens them to pursue their dreams.

The dismissive attitude that the youth are not attracted to the idea of freedom — economic and social — is erroneous and self-destructive. By ceding the culture to the modern left, primarily through the unwillingness to counter deceptive language, those who support liberty will continue to see the government transform into a smothering bully.

The alternative is to fully and unashamedly champion the powerful vision and just cause of freedom.
