NEW YORK — Leaders of Young Republican groups throughout the country worried what would happen if their Telegram chat ever got leaked, but they kept typing anyway.

They referred to Black people as monkeys and “the watermelon people” and mused about putting their political opponents in gas chambers. They talked about raping their enemies and driving them to suicide and lauded Republicans who they believed support slavery.


I’d love to say this surprises me, but it does not in the slightest.

    It’s YOUR JOB to give them consequences.

    But no, just go to your No Kings parade and pat yourself on the back for “doing your best.”

      It’s possible to go to a protest, meet some people, and then go kick some Nazis together. Not everyone just holds a sign and stops there.

      This is like telling someone that is depressed that they need to smile more.

      Makes you feel better anyone who has dealt with it just sees an asshole.

          This is fun. Of this was a hundred years ago, you definitely would be blaming the Jews for being sent to concentration camps.

      Wha do you reckon Americans do? They’re fucked no matter what. You can condescend all you want but you have just as much power as they do to help them: None

        Yeah. You might remember us from a few solid decades of telling you this was going to happen. Remember, when you got shitty and belligerent about it? “America’s hat?” Something like that.

        It’s interesting how when US liberals get defensive about their inaction they start sounding like US conservatives.

          It’s more interesting when America’s hat won’t shut the fuck up about a situation they have no power in effecting. Go bitch about your countries own shortcomings.

              And you’re a high horsing twat curiously ignoring your own country falling off a right-wing cliff right behind us.

                    You’d clearly rather give cover to MAGA talking points than throw a punch in defense of your country.

                    Look at you. More angry at me than you are at the Nazis in your neighborhood. Maybe you should take some of this impotent rage and direct it at the people who aren’t on (what you insist is ) your side.

              And you’re a current era Canadian with no power in US affairs. Don’t you have your own issues with corruption, genocide and rightwing bullshit? Fuck how pathetic to sideline whine about a game you aren’t playing in.
