Dr. Jim: [:
We've said for the longest time that the Republican Party is just the formal wing of every white nationalist and white supremacist group in the country. This just gives us proof of. Who they really are as if we needed any confirmation. It should come as no surprise when we look through the political report that shows that Republicans in a group chat were celebrating all sorts of things that we've always accused them of, but they always denied.
lso, we are officially under [:
I am ready to watch people burn. That's just a small selection of quotes that were leaked from the group text of the young Republican groups throughout the country, . When we think about the Republican party of today and all the things that they support, this is consistent with the party base.
Think about it, the leader of that party, the 80-year-old diaper dementia patient, ran an entire campaign and ran several campaigns with overt and covert callbacks to the failed Austrian painters campaign from World War II era Germany.
hese sorts of things amongst [:
The fact of the matter is the Republican party continues to show who they are.
e party that rose to power in:
Now digging into the political report, what's interesting is how casually the people within these group texts were referencing minorities, black people, Jewish people, everything, and [00:03:00] anything that we would expect them to say. In these chats. William Hendricks, the vice chair of the Kansas Young Republicans. Used various versions of the N word as a slur more than a dozen times in the chat. Bobby Walker, who's the vice chair of the New York State Young Republicans referred to rape as Epic. Peter Genta, who's chair of the New York.
State Young Republicans wrote that everyone who votes no is gonna get the gas chamber and Genta was referring to an upcoming vote on whether he should become chair of the Young Republican National Federation,. And this particular organization has 15,000 members within their political organization, and they're all between 18 and 40 years old.
s not ours. What these texts [:
Patriot front, the K, k, K, and any other white nationalist group. It's all the same. If ever there was a real life version of the Pam Beasley meme, this would be the perfect time for it.
While some people might reference these chats as just jokes or locker room talk, it's clear that this was so casually thrown out that is part of the DNA of the organization. When you have members of this organization openly talking about their admiration of Hitler, when they're openly talking about redesigning showers and converting them into gas chambers and.
citizens in the same way that:
When we think about the actual texts that are released, the context that's being discussed, it's clear who the real enemy is. No civilized society should accept this sort of language. There is no free speech argument that should allow this type of conversation to exist because the longer it exists, the more it festers, and we're seeing the outcome of that in this current regime.
lockstep with what we saw in:
There is no difference.
Now if you're sitting there thinking that this is just a small collection of out of context texts, there's 2,900 pages of these chats that Politico exposed and they were shared. Among dozens of millennial and Gen Z Republicans between January and August, and what's becoming clear as their stroked out salmon colored septic, arian walking colostomy bag of a liter has taken office.
It's given these people the courage to say this stuff out loud.
And when you think about what the end goal is when by saying this stuff out loud, what you notice is that there is no difference between Trumpism and Republicanism. All of these people are working to take broader control of the Republican party and drive it even further right, as a way to serve the wishes of their dear leader.
the country is that embedded [:
And these are people that are gonna be coming to power over the next several decades to extend what Nixon, Reagan, Bush, and Trump have already put into place. And let's understand. That what they've put into place is all in service of the billionaires and the Heritage Foundation that they answer to.
far as how society should be [:
Where women and anybody else who isn't a white male is relegated to the status of property. There's a reason why I call these people a Dark Ages death cult, because that's what they are. What's interesting is that the people in charge of this party have brainwashed large segments of the population into thinking that the enemy that they have to worry about are those.
Members of society who follow Islam when it's clear that within the shores of the United States the biggest threat to freedom are white evangelical Christians.
group, what's interesting to [:
And what ties it all together amongst all of these slurs is a set of violent fantasies that these people have. That is rooted around the extermination of their fellow citizens. When you have a political party that is driven by the religious right and that religious wing of that party sees empathy as a sin, these texts and messages are a perfect manifestation of what that actually looks like.
The callousness and coldness with which they talk about the extermination of their neighbors and friends is something that we should all pay attention to. We're sitting here watching citizens and people in this country get rounded up by mass thugs who are probably a certain portion of them were probably pardoned as insurrectionists.
[:
Stephen Miller had said that his ideal view of the US is one where there's a hundred million white people and everybody else is gone.
How do you think you actually get there? The young Republicans and re the Republican party in general? Are showing you exactly how that works. This chat gives you a window into what actually goes through their mind and what their plans are
now, while all of these things are incredibly damaging, you would expect.
Some remorse or some accountability from the people that are caught up in this, wouldn't you? You'd be wrong. In typical Trumpian fashion, Genta, one of the people who were exposed in this chat called it a highly coordinated year long character assassination led by Gavin Wax and the New York City Young Republican Club.
So apparently [:
What's gonna be interesting to see as this develops is who else is implicated in this?
Who else endorsed these people that were included in these group chats. What other Republicans are giving silent approval or not So silent approval to a group of people that
rty. The Republican party of [:
Their worldview is no different, no matter how often they try to downplay it, the bottom line is pretty clear. The Republican party of today. A Messianic death cult that wants to exterminate two thirds of the people in the US. The Republican Party of today is not very different from the party in power in 1930s Germany or the Confederacy, their ideological cousins, and their end goal is to bring forward a white Christian ethnostate Where only rich white men are in power and everybody else's property.
s to happen is a large scale [:
There's a historical lesson that you wage war on the terms of your enemies. The Republican party and MAGA in particular, and all of their white nationalist storm troopers have set the rules of engagement. The longer we wait to engage in battle on their terms, the worse off it's going to be.
And that's the lesson that we need to take away from this. What political expose is probably the tip of the iceberg in terms of the conversations that are happening. Imagine what's happening offline. Imagine the organization that's happening offline, all with the express purpose of exterminating two thirds of the population of the US under the orders and the design of Stephen Miller and Donald Trump.
We need to think about and that's what we need to respond to.
