While young Republicans openly embrace Nazis, Trump is moving to limit immigration to white people only, as the GOP is now a haven for white supremacists.
You nailed how the GOP’s moral collapse isn’t about “kids saying dumb things." It’s the final stage of a story that’s been decades in the making.
I wrote something this morning that traces that lineage, from Nixon’s “Southern Strategy” through Reagan’s coded appeals in Neshoba County to today’s normalization of open bigotry.
What we’re seeing in the Young Republican chats isn’t a rupture, it’s the reveal. The post–Great Society GOP found its unifying power in race, and that bargain has shaped every generation of conservative politics since.
Your reporting makes clear what too many in the so-called center still won’t say out loud: this didn’t begin with Trump, and it won’t end by pretending Reagan’s “Morning in America” was a sunrise.
Here’s my essay if readers want to go deeper and please share:
Correct, there is heavy money behind this movement!! Unfortunately the democrats were to weak or a majority of them were okay with this, to stop what has been decades in the making!!
Your comment “What we’re seeing in the Young Republican chats isn’t a rupture, it’s the reveal.” is so true, well stated! The same goes with all of the republicans, they’re all bigots just some keep their fascist bigoted anti-America views under the surface more than others.
Yep….. everyone we mention or write about who is a MAGAt/GOP person , we need use the words “nazi”, “fascist”or “Hitler lover” to describe these parasites that have put, We, the People, and this country's ( & other countries) democracy in jeopardy. Enjoy & create fun & be safe at Saturday’s “NO KINGS” rallies.
None of this is surprising. They've been wanting to say the quiet part out loud for years. They need some new material. Watermelons, monkeys, and the n-word are their go-to terms for Black people. Same goes for their other derogatory terms for other groups they hate. These people believe Drumpf when he says that they're not going to have a country anymore. They yearn for their "good ol' days," which were the bad ol'days for anyone not like them.
They only continue to dig themselves a deeper hole. God help us when their inflated stock market falls back down to Earth. You nailed Stefanik perfectly, she'll fail against Governor Hochul and the North Country has some options now.
The RepubliKKKlan Party has been openly racist at least since Barry Goldwater ran for POTUS in '64 backed by the John Birch Society, whose hateful agenda became mainstream GOP policy. It is no surprise that we are here now, and we need to call every member of the GOP fascist, racist, homophobic, misogynistic, xenophobic, corporate-welfare loving, Christianist traitors to American democracy.
The elephant in the room is the mistaken fantasy of young people saving democracy because of their superior knowledge of modern technology defeating stupid old fascists. I don't know why young people should have some natural immunity to right wing propaganda but it seems that's what some people have been believing. The most disgusting part, as always, is the press regaling the Dems for not finding away to appeal to young fascist men. I heard a caller on Thom's show ask a very good question: What kind of messaging stops the liars when they never shut up?
The big picture is heart wrenching and gut sickening. I cannot think “unbelievable” anymore. That damn electoral college, 2016, how can anyone win by 2.8 million votes and still lose ? That brings about the new lifetime Supreme Court majority who have delegitimized, disqualified and politicized themselves. The “gang of six” are promoting a regressive agenda steamrolling US back in time to a more deplorable era. Many see the demographic changes and are doing everything possible to clutch, claw and cling to 400 years of white privilege/power. That’s the bottom line behhnd ALL of this mess, isn’t it ? What better evidence of this movement backwards in time than the new policy of only white folk seeking asylum should be allowed/welcomed in. Blatantly, shamelessly, right out in the open, shoved in all our faces. Winter is coming, the snowflakes ❄️ obviously have long been here.
I’m actually old enough to remember when being openly a nazi sympathizers was unAmerican AF!!
But the ideology was always here!!
In fact it was alleged that hitler was actually surprised that America even entered the war! Because he had gotten some of his ideas in regard to controlling a large mass of people from America!!

Read Curtis Yarvin. Unfortunately for Christians, they’re going to get destroyed too.

If Vance ever had any integrity in the (distant) past, he sold it off long, long ago and there’s none of it left any more.
Ha ha you people are insane
I’m actually old enough to remember when being openly a nazi sympathizers was unAmerican AF!!
But the ideology was always here!!
In fact it was alleged that hitler was actually surprised that America even entered the war! Because he had gotten some of his ideas in regard to controlling a large mass of people from America!!
He really is too stupid to be even a vice president! You Know?!
Sad part is this won’t wreck their careers. Vance and his supporters will find them another cushy job
They’ll get along great with the “palestinian supporters” waving their swastikas at their “protests”.
