The Young Republicans institutionally denounced the Hitler-praising, ferociously antisemitic and virulently racist messages in their leaders’ group chats, calling for resignations.

The VP of the US says it’s “pearl clutching” to care and changes the subject.

To everyone who says, "But this won't matter": *MAKE IT MATTER.*

You have that power! This is not inside baseball and your friends and neighbors will likely be appalled. And if they're *not* appalled, don't be cynical yourself. Take the lead, give the cue.

Democrats need to put the same extended media consuming outrage into the Young Republican Nazi chats as Republicans mustered for Biden going for ice cream.

For sure, this. We need to keep calling their bullshit and keep the blame on them, and not on the angry and alienated 22 year old who does something dumb.

Trump and Miller will probably get the blood in the streets they want eventually. We don’t know when or how it will unfold, or how the public will come to perceive it. But we do know that no matter how it unfolds or is perceived, it is already their fault. All we can do is our best.
It'll Be Trump's Fault
Donald Trump created this unstable equilibrium; no matter how it breaks down, it will be his fault.

They are terrified of the No Kings rallies and doing everything they can to discredit them.

If you're on the fence about going, just think of how much it'll piss off these assholes.

Emmer: "We call it the 'Hate America' rally because you'll see the hate for America all over this thing when they show up. The rumor is that they can't end this shutdown because this small but very violent and vocal group is the only one that's happy about this."

Let’s be clear: the Republican shutdown continues because the Republican Speaker dares not bring back the House to face an Epstein vote they would lose and a divided caucus with vulnerables who want to extend Affordable Care credits and MAGAloons who won’t.

Let's be clear: If North Carolina Republicans gerrymander their already illegal map further, they will be sued and they will lose.

The fact that top Republicans are already fearmongering about, lying about, the No Kings rallies this Saturday, across the US, tells you how worried they are about public pressure and protest against their reactionary, autocratic, anti-American agenda.

We fired people we had no reason or budgetary need to fire and we actually screwed up and fired the wrong people and then rehired them the next day and all because of Chuck Schumer

BRENNAN: CBS confirmed the Trump administration rescinded the layoffs of CDC scientists. Some were involved with the federal measles response. How does a mistake like this happen?

VANCE: The govt shutdown inevitably leads to some chaos. It happened because of Schumer

B: But this was a WH decision
