"You're so crazy and childish, you actually cut family members out of your life over politics!"

No, disagreeing on if a 1% higher import tax should be implemented on all bananas from Chile is politics, and you would be crazy to cut somebody off if they disagreed with you on it.

Thinking that entire people groups should be wiped off the face of the earth is not politics.

Failed people. Failed parents. Failed families. Failed communities. Failed churches. Failed morals.

All given a platform in Republican politics.

Leaked chats expose Young Republicans peddling racism, fascism, & Hitler worship in bombshell Politico report

Alongside the rise of hidden Republican cliques like the “A-Gays,” a newly revealed Young Republicans chat empties the shadows with language

They’ve long decried the left’s habit of labeling Republicans “fascists.” They have warned, scolded, complained: you can’t throw that accusation around lightly; it cheapens language, they say. But now, leaked private messages among rising GOP leaders obtained by Politico reveal that their extremism is not just rhetorical. It lives, breathes, and laughs behind closed doors.

Politics has always had its hidden rooms — corridors where whispers echo louder than public statements. Over the past decade, those corridors have multiplied, especially within the modern GOP: from private messaging groups to semi-secret affinity circles like the “A-Gays,” the assembled influence networks of out gay men within Trump’s Republican orbit.

Now, though, one of the most disturbing rooms has been laid bare. An exposé published by Politico on Tuesday reveals thousands of messages exchanged by rising Young Republican operatives, calling opponents monkeys, celebrating gas chambers, and flirting with rape fantasies, all behind the veil of encrypted chat.

The “RESTOREYR WAR ROOM” chat, spanning more than 2,900 pages, some 28,000+ messages, included state YR leaders from New York, Kansas, Arizona, and Vermont. Among the participants, according to Politico, were William Hendrix, vice chair of the Kansas YRs; Bobby Walker, vice chair of the New York State YRs; and Peter Giunta, then chair of New York’s YRs, who also works as chief of staff to a state assembly member.

In those texts, they did more than scheme electoral strategy. They spoke freely of “putting voters in gas chambers,” gaslighted dissenters, and praised Hitler. Giunta wrote: “Everyone who votes no is going to the gas chamber … Great, I love Hitler.” In response, Joe Maligno, the general counsel for the New York Young Republicans, quipped, “Can we fix the showers? Gas chambers don’t fit the Hitler aesthetic.” New York national committeewoman Annie Kaykaty replied, “I’m ready to watch people burn now.”
