What an odd looking group of young “men?” These are men? Right? Overweight women in men’s clothing maybe?
I’m so confused if someone just showed me pics of these men without the background on them I’d guess they were trans rights, LGBTQ activists. I really do think the most extreme of these Republican characters are just a bunch of self loathing closeted gay men. |

I’m sorry, are people implying that being an Indian person or being married to an Indian person means that you aren’t racist?
Lmao. |

There is a lot of "whataboutism" still even with the 'but so and so is not racist" posts.
Still does not matter. What matters is that Conservatives often try to downplay racism in America as rare, not a widespread problem, no big deal. I see this Politico article and wonder about the hiring practices of these future young leaders in the party. You cannot read these posts and think they would have fair hiring practices or treatment of their colleagues. Furthermore, specifically on Vance, I am remembering how he forgave and rehired " Big Balls" (Edward Coristine) for his history of racist tweets which were very similar in tone to the comments from these Young Republicans. The appropriate thing would have been to keep him fired because there should be consequences for this. All and all, Republicans show a leniency for racism within their party, usually with deflection about DEI. Acknowledge the problem within their ranks and hold people accountable, and for goodness sakes, do NOT hire people like this! All and all together, it shows a problematic acceptance of the racism |

“The group chat members spoke freely about the pressure to cow to Trump to avoid being called a RINO, the love of Nazis within their party’s right wing and the president’s alleged work to suppress documents related to wealthy financier Jeffrey Epstein’s child sex crimes.”
And they pretend to be offended when dems call them nazis. |

The rot goes all the way to the core.
“Jipson reviewed multiple excerpts of the Young Republicans’ chat provided by POLITICO. One was a late July message where Mosiman, the chair of the Arizona Young Republicans, mused about how the group could win support for their preferred candidate by linking an opponent to white supremacist groups. But Mosiman then realized the plan could backfire — Kansas’ Young Republicans could end up becoming attracted to that opponent.” |

Right. But they don't mind pardoning January 6 insurrectionists with "Camp Auschwitz" sweatshirts or 6MWE insignia. I will never, as long as I live, understand anyone sho is okay with this administration. |

Peak masculinity:
Why do all these Young Republicans look middle aged? |

Take a moment to imagine how racists think about women of the "lesser race". It's not pretty. They "like" the women. |

What horrible people.
The GOP is rotten, from the top to the bottom. They need a wholesale clean out. |

Racism isn't a bug of the MAGA---it's a feature. |

Afraid of being called RINOs, but not of being called Nazis. That about sums up today’s GOP |

| They have always been like this. I remember in the early 1990s, when being outed as LBGT could get you beaten up, fired, evicted or disowned by your family, the UNC College Republicans got hold of a confidential list of the attendees at the nascent student gay rights organization and widely publicized the names. I'm sure some of those jerks are undoubtedly big middle aged muckety-mucks in the NC Republican party now. |
