Q: Politico reported on a group chat of young Republicans. Does this just reflect some bad apples?

HOCHUL: Some bad apples? These are the future of the GOP. This is so vile it's hard to find the words to put into context ... there's gotta be consequences ... this bullshit has to stop.

All republican speakers post 2016 have followed the Trump line but none of them have lacked the institutional self-preservation quite like Mike Johnson. He just does not care about the House at all

POLITICO: “.. They referred to Black people as monkeys and ‘the watermelon people’ and mused about putting their political opponents in gas chambers. They talked about raping their enemies .. and lauded Republicans who they believed support slavery.

Eric Trump: "We're saving Christianity. We've saving God. We've saving the family unit. We're saving this nation. I mean, DEI is out of the window, Benny. You no longer have Colin Kaepernick kneeling for the national anthem. You no longer have Budweiser going woke as hell. All of this is dead."

"We're saving God from Colin Kaepernik" is a pretty good distillation of Republican thought

"God is a somewhat powerful being who is nevertheless endangered by beer brand endorsements" is Evangelical "theology" summed up pretty well
