This is how Republicans talk all across America. This is what you've heard if you have MAGA relatives. And they're either unrepentant or they say it's just a joke. 10 years ago this would have seemed topical to me. 20 years ago I'd have thought it scandalous. Right now I'm just curious why such unserious people thought they could maintain a private chat.

But, sure...tell us again how the violent rhetoric is all coming from the "radical left"?

So they know objectively that what they are saying is SO wrong that they would be “cooked” if anyone outside the chat saw the messages. But they were enjoying themselves SO MUCH, presumably because they believe that these sentiments are SO right, that they kept doing it anyway. And they think they are the best qualified people to lead others in any capacity. How am I doing?

Stole this description from the other post about this.
Thousands of private messages reveal young GOP leaders joking about gas chambers, slavery and rape.
Leaders of Young Republican groups throughout the country worried what would happen if their Telegram chat ever got leaked, but they kept typing anyway.
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 driving them to suicide and lauded Republicans who they believed support slavery.
William Hendrix, the Kansas Young Republicans’ vice chair, used the words “n--ga” and “n--guh,” variations of a racial slur, more than a dozen times in the chat. Bobby Walker, the vice chair of the New York State Young Republicans at the time, referred to rape as “epic.” Peter Giunta, who at the time was chair of the same organization, wrote in a message sent in June that “everyone that votes no is going to the gas chamber.”

I think the NSFW is limiting the exposure of this.
