WTF is wrong with Republicans? The politico-reported, young republican comments are putrid.

"I love Hitler" ? Approving of slavery? Wanting to rape enemies? Waxing poetic about gas chambers?

What fetid, rotten, satan-aligned virus got into the Republican party?

Trump's dopey tariffs have destroyed farmers. China bought NO soybeans from America this year — finding a new supplier in Argentina.

Argentina got all China's soybean biz AND we gave them $20B!

The Politico-reported Telegram messages from young republicans— anti-semitic, racist, misogynist, loving Hitler,etc. 🤢— yet only one Republican has denounced it (some guy in KS).

Not all Republicans are racist...
But all racists are Republicans.

“Altamides leaves no trace on the phones it targets, unlike spyware such as Pegasus. Nor does it require a target to click on a malicious link or show any of the telltale signs (such as overheating or a short battery life) of remote monitoring.”

Today, with more than a dozen global media partners, we’re exposing a surveillance firm whose untraceable phone-tracking tech has been used around the world to target politicians, journalists, and executives—and maybe even you.

Exactly. It ain't rocket science. It is mind-boggling that the Democrats STILL have not figured this out.

New Democrats of America @newdemsofamerica.bsky.social · 14h

The GOP owns the airwaves right now. You need to keep breaking through with your messaging. Guerilla PR to generate viral content is the way. Hold a press conference in front of Mike Johnson’s house. Put affected citizens in the public eye from Red states to share their stories. Generate buzz.

"No Kings is happening, and this is how Republicans are talking about it.

Accusations like 'terrorist wing,' 'pro-Hamas,' and 'Antifa' aren’t just insults. They’re phrases that unlock, in the view of the administration, a permission structure for state violence."

President Joe Biden spent months working tirelessly to broker a ceasefire and quietly secured the release of 140 hostages.

Donald Trump allowed Netanyahu to unravel that progress, freed just 28, and then tried to claim Biden’s plan as his own.

Don’t be fooled by the performance.

When they asked to speak to their attorney, he said, the officers refused and straitjacketed the already-shackled men in full-body restraint suits called the WRAP, then loaded them onto a plane for the 16-hour-flight to West Africa.

this is definitely true but it’s also true that it’s only politically acceptable in this country to mock cities or blue states. mocking rural/red states is seen as elitist and out-of-touch, even tho most ppl live in cities! as such, i think these rare moments have more staying power.

I'm generalizing, but why do conservatives remember political irritations for so much longer than liberals?

It's been 17 years since Obama said some voters "cling to their guns, to their religion" and I heard a senator denounce that last month.
