The New York Young Republican Club (NYYRC) has called on the federal government to strip Zohran Mamdani of his citizenship and deport him.

On Tuesday evening, Mamdani, a 33-year-old self-described democratic socialist, declared victory over Andrew Cuomo, former governor of the state of New York, in the Democratic primary for the 2025 New York mayoral election.

The outcome, one of the first major Democratic primaries since Donald Trump returned to office, is being considered as a barometer for the party’s potential recalibration nationally, at a time when it remains ideologically divided about its future.

      The 6% have my apologies.

      So do all the Republicans who have been frantically writing their representatives and senators in recent years asking them what the fuck has gone wrong that they are ALL supporting this march to fascism. (and yes, I know about Kinzinger etc, all immediately despised by the rest of R when they tried to stand up to Trump)

      I figure maybe there are twenty or so of them. If it was enough to do anything at all, then the entire Republican apparatus wouldn’t be supporting Trump balls-deep because it would have been clear to them for YEARS that this is not what Republican voters want. But it’s not clear, because the twenty mythical decent republicans writing them angry letters isn’t really enough to do jack shit. What’s clear is that this IS what Republican voters want.

      The other thing making it clear this is what Republican voters want - 94% voted for a convicted Felon, who had given them a preview in 2017, and who had been responsible for Jan 06, and who had spent the past four years making sure we all knew that he would do EXACTLY what he is currently doing.

      No conservatives in my life ever again if they aren’t there by blood relation, and bare minimum for them. I’m almost sixty. My memories of conservatives trying to fuck everything up for people go all the way back to when I was 13. I have no memories of Republican policies doing anything but what they are doing now. Harming people and helping the rich.

      Where we are at right now is the logical eventual outcome of every Republican or conservative position I’ve heard espoused in my lifetime. This is always where they were headed. They finally got control, and they are being just as terrible as anyone ever predicted.

      Fuck it, I’m done. I’ve spent as much of my life as I’m going to acting like there’s any possible way I can be compatible with these people. Every last one is dead to me, and I will not ever, under any circumstances, support a Republican for so much as a street sweeper until the day I die.

          WHAT GROUND? I’m sorry if it sounds like I’m angry at you but WHAT GROUND? Will they reject the next truly awful person put up by R, or will they just vote for them again anyway?

          I know where my money is at.

          They are getting what they pushed for this entire time. They are getting what they had every reason to know was coming when they pulled the lever for Trump (a third fucking time). We’re all riding this flaming wreckage together, I’m not going to hold their fucking hand while we go down in the catastrophe they created, all the while being told by them how it’s just fucking awesome that we’re finally getting things under control.

                  LOL I’d LOVE to stop paying attention to the crumbling of our government at the willing urging of Republicans. I’m paying a lot of attention. I see crickets from R, or cheerleading, or condemnation of any R who dares break ranks. Since 2017. Except those 6 republicans that Kamala paid to run ads for her when she was trying to win R votes instead of D votes in 2024.

                  Too much to ask for just one source, eh?
