In reply to the discussion: 'It's revolting': More Young Republican chat members out of jobs as condemnation intensifies [View all]RockRaven
(19,766 posts)55. Oh, please. Spare us the "I'm shocked, shocked to find..." BS.
Every single person who employed or associated with these guys, including everyone at National Young Republicans and every elected Repug, KNEW EXACTLY what these guys were like. Them being like that is WHY they were associating with them in whatever manner they were doing so. Those characteristics are fundamental to today's Republican Party. The only difference between themselves and the people they are now shunning is mask on vs mask off.

I was thinking the same thing. Why go through the charade? Why pretend to be shocked?

I was wrong to think the GOP wanted to take America back to the 1950s.

The GOP will find a place for them in their racists for racists job placement office, I have no doubt.

About all they'll 'learn' from this is to do a better job at not getting caught

It's funny, because my mother was a lifelong Republican and my father a lifelong Democrat
