We're now at the point where the avatar of Cowardly Democrat Centrism, per half this site, is talking like this. I do not think a lack of Dem willingness is a problem anymore.

Emerging from the darkness of this era will require us to acknowledge that the previous status quo, including many institutions that may have served us well in another era, have been failing for my entire lifetime.

NEW for @washingtonpost.com:

Pentagon reporters exited the building in unison Wednesday after turning in their badges, having refused to sign the Defense Department's press policy.

@nancyayoussef.bsky.social called it a “sad day for those who support a free press.”

this isn't pretending that the GOP was ever good.

It was noticeably and tangibly different.

LRP I remember going to exactly one Young Republicans meeting when I started college — embarrassing, I know; I was a privileged kid from a blue state who got caught up in the brighter spots of libertarian messaging — and the ONE thing I remember hearing is that the Tea Party was too radical.

For those tempted to say Young Republicans have always been this way, they really have not. When I worked on campus and did bipartisan college events after, they were very much not like this.

That’s why groups like YCT and eventually TPUSA formed — because Young Republicans weren’t radical enough.

there have been a lot of responses to this arguing that young Republicans were motivated by such feelings but didn't express them openly

and I think a crucial lesson of the Trump era is that there is great value in people not expressing these things openly! that's a big and decisive change!

You’d think them all panicking and screaming at the No Kings rally would indicate that they’re frightened about the growing backlash against them. Coupled with the Young Republicans scandals and Trump continuing to sundown, I think a lot of GOP members are thinking “oh god we have no future”

I think two things are true:

1. young republicans were always terrible and racist

2. young republicans become openly hitler-loving groypers is in fact a new and alarming development that is worth paying attention to
