"I love Hitler: Leaked messages expose Young Republicans’ racist chat"
"Thousands of private messages reveal young GOP leaders joking about gas chambers, slavery and rape."
"The messages reveal a culture where racist, antisemitic and violent rhetoric circulate freely — and where the Trump-era loosening of political norms has made
such talk feel less taboo among those positioning themselves as the party’s next leaders."
Whether it’s young republicans expressing their love for Hitler, slavery and rape, or young leftists wearing frog costumes...it's hard to tell which side is better!

Dope wonders why we call them fascists.
I'm sure he can explain it all away.
And, anyway, if he doesn't hear about it on FOX 'news' (and he never will), then it didn't happen.

He'll use his old favorite: The ostrich effect!
The ostrich effect is a cognitive bias where people avoid or ignore negative or potentially unpleasant information by metaphorically "burying their heads in the sand"
like the myth about ostriches. This avoidance helps them evade short-term emotional discomfort but often leads to worse consequences later on.
For example, people might avoid checking their bank account after overspending, ignore health symptoms, or avoid monitoring progress toward personal goals.
This behavior can manifest as physical avoidance, psychological avoidance (not thinking about the problem), or biased interpretation of information.
SAD!

Banksy: The messages reveal a culture where racist, antisemitic and violent rhetoric circulate freely...
So, several individuals in this group chat referred to Black people as monkeys and ‘the watermelon people’ and delighted at the idea of putting their political opponents in gas chambers. They talked about raping their enemies and cheered on Republicans who they believed support slavery.
But this will get less news coverage than former president Biden wearing Hokas.

They could be buddies with Liberal college administrators and young progressives.
And then they'd have their monthly loser club meeting because, heck, there's never been even one time in human history, or one other group of people who has ever agreed with their point of view at any juncture in human history ever.

Shouldn't you be at work serving your master like a good little sheeple?

Stopped that at age 45.
Right now I just finished morning walk, and am sitting at Dunkin' eating things the Wife doesn't need to know about. Funny part is my doctor (who is paid a yearly fee but seems to not care about more money) threatened to end my membership if I keep promising diet and exercise but don't do it. I can literally see his office from where i'm sitting now and i'm scared he'll see me one day. Mind you i walk 25 mins most mornings and i've kept it up 6 months in a row now.
No work for 5 years now.
Last time I had a boss or supervisor was 26 years ago. Never had a sissy ass HR department *ahem*
Now back to topic..... as my personal attacker can't do that.
