Republican Texting Scandal [View all]

[angrychair]

By now most politically aware people have seen or heard about at least some of the incredibly disturbing text messages between a lot of different Republicans, many specifically associated with Young Republicans of America and TPUSA.

Texts, like pictures, are a snapshot in time. The messaging we have seen is just lifting the curtain a little to get a quick look.
To imply that what is now in the public domain is an anomaly is completely ridiculous.

These people, that said these disgusting things, are not the exception to the rule but are the rule.
You don't have this many people, this comfortable saying those things, in a messaging app, unless it has already been normalized in their organization. On edit: let's also stop calling the people writing these messages as "kids" they are kids. These people are in their 20s and 30s. They are adults and fully responsible for the disgusting bullshit they posted.

Let us also be clear that if that had been "Young Democrats of America" or some comparable national organizations that align with the Democratic Party, that this country would already be on fire by now. The news media would be ripping down the walls of the DNC headquarters with their bare hands demanding answers.
While I give kudos to Politico for running the story, I seriously doubt anyone will make a big deal of this and the news media will pretend it never happened by the end of the week.

Don't be fooled, this is exactly who the Republican Party are, all of them. Elected and just Republicans as a whole.
Truly evil and disgusting people.
