The New York Young Republican Club (NYYRC) has called on the federal government to strip Zohran Mamdani of his citizenship and deport him.
On Tuesday evening, Mamdani, a 33-year-old self-described democratic socialist, declared victory over Andrew Cuomo, former governor of the state of New York, in the Democratic primary for the 2025 New York mayoral election.
The outcome, one of the first major Democratic primaries since Donald Trump returned to office, is being considered as a barometer for the party’s potential recalibration nationally, at a time when it remains ideologically divided about its future.
Put every last one of these right wing lunatics in prison.
If this happens. Thats it. General strike. I already voted for myself to strike with my union. I’ll just add this to the strike list.
Repuglicans are stupid beyond imagining
The fact that a party so blatantly unconstitutional (and criminal) can get so much support in this country is not a good sign for the future of this nation. I wouldn’t invest any hope in things getting better anytime soon. And I mean even when Trump is gone.
Dark future.
The only hope is when things take a turn, they take a turn in our favor. And I don’t hold much hope for that, we’ve been at war and the rest of the country is pretending there isn’t one
Until a revolution-violent, if necessary- against their media sphere happens you can expect more decline.
All of this is proof that capitalism is an evil economic model, inevitably geared towards death, slavery, and oppression.
They would rather everything, everyone die before giving a single stolen penny back to the people, even if that means they also die
At this point I think GOP is simply a fascist party, which has been hiding behind false patriotism.
They are simply atrociously and with no sense of humanity or ridiculousness. Just pure hatred personified into a shell of human beings.
If I were to be religious I would think that Trump is the anti-Christ and his followers are simply demons.
1-the GOP IS a Nazi party 2- trump IS an antichrist, and the thing about antichrists is that they are invisible to christians. 3- his followers are actual satanic pedophiles, which is why they accuse everyone else of being satanic pedophiles.
Why did it take so long to come to that conclusion? That’s been the case for years. My mom, who is religious and fortunately not part of the MAGA cult, has repeatedly told me that she wouldn’t be surprised if he is.
Wow republicans are all scared little pussies aren’t they?
On June 2, New York City Council Member Vickie Paladino, a Republican, wrote: “Let’s just talk about how insane it is to elect someone to any major office who hasn’t even been a US citizen for ten years—much less a radical leftist who actually hates everything about the country and is here specifically to undermine everything we’ve ever been about. Deport.”
Mamdani hit back at Paladino on X, saying: “Like nearly 40% of all New Yorkers, I wasn’t born in this country. I moved here at age 7. It’s my home. And I’m proud to be a citizen, which means standing up for our Constitution. Councilmember Paladino might consider reading it.”
Great clapback.
Great clapback if they actually cared about the constitution but they dont. They’re arguing in bad faith and nothing he says matters.
This is the battle that determines our future. If we lose this, it’s war, or submission for years or decades, and then war.
Reminds me of this time last year when Trump was on trial for a half dozen things.
Everyone was all like “ooh it would be so undemocratic to try someone while they’re campaigning”.
Meanwhile republicans can just uncitizen anyone they don’t like.
You can’t win if no one is playing by the rules.
Don’t Republicans hate New York? You’d think they’d be thrilled with the opportunity for socialism to ruin one of the bluest cities in the US. Maybe they’re worried something else will happen.
Exactly… It’s all so rich coming from these losers who refuse to even enter NYC because Fox News told them it’s warzone or some bullshit.
Hear, hear! Excellent point.
They love New York/Wall Street, because that’s where the money is, but they hate all the liberal artsy stuff.
Ideologically divided, yes. That old rift between the two ideologies of “try to govern mostly okay” and “where’s my check from AIPAC?”.
I am becoming increasingly sick of seeing the word ‘deport’ being used by Republicans who are suggesting revoking citizenship and a banishment. It’s exile.
fascists gonna fascist.
“We’Re NoT fAsCiStS tHeRe ArE nO gAs ChAmBeRs! (yet)”
The only metric for them to be fascist is if there is mass murder of civilians. Unless you’re Israel of course. :/
/s ?
SpOnGe cAsE is typically used to denote sarcasm
Yeah lol the alternating caps is making fun of them for saying something absurd
tHeRe ArE nO gAs ChAmBeRs! (yet)
Oh but there are.
“We are all domestic terrorists”
They already told us who they are, and nothing they’ve done would indicate otherwise.
Deporting immigrant is one thing. But when a country starts deporting it’s own citizens, and stripping them or reducing their citizenship to justify their treatment, well… before you know it, the half-citizen deportee end up coming out of the concentration camps through the chimney.

It’s very much not against your laws or morals.
The US President has basically dictatorial rights. No head of state in any other democracy can do even a tenth of the things that the US President can.
And never did the US people oppose this.

It might be against my, and your, morals but each of the things I pointed out were carried out by Americans within the bounds of the law. Unfortunately whether or not this fits in with the morals and laws of the US as a whole is very much up for debate.
I’m not saying it never happened before, I’m saying it’s against our laws and morals.
It’s only against our laws and morals if we actually don’t do it, and don’t allow it to be done again.

I hate to break it to you, but Americans are exceedingly inculcated with the idea of exiling racial groups.

It’s a large enough percentage to reach the White House, and unfortunately that’s all that seems to matter.
Ah, you’re making the mistake of thinking we have free and fair presidential elections. We do not. It’s fucked.
Matters little if that “very small group” has power and is getting away with it
Got any hot tips for winning a class war? From the disadvantaged side, please.
I realize this is sarcasm but honestly: all of you/us are greater than all of them, if enough of us can actually unite on what we want and how to get it.
Unfortunately it’s also why there’s been a huge effort on dividing people by race/gender/religion/etc that might otherwise have been united in socio-economic struggles.
It also means that the people who need to give something to push for change are (deliberately) kept in situations where they have the least to do.
- Less time to organise because of working multiple jobs with little to no free time.
- Less money or resources to fight in courts.
- Less knowledge due to underfunded education.
- Less physical ability due to lack of healthcare or nutritional diet
- Less access to childcare or ability to afford such
- Etc
Which is why supporting community/network is important.
Having a politician that isn’t an evil fuck is good, but that politician isn’t going to watch your kids while you’re at a protest or in the hospital. They’re not going to help you get to work when your car breaks down, or help you fix it.
They might stand beside you at a protest or union meeting, but one or a handful of politicians says less than community of hundreds or thousands.
We need to rebuild communities and support networks. Yes we need the help of politicians - or at least less actively fighting against us - but we also need to rally with each other. The attacks on this guy reflect much of the same as those on our communities.
If somebody is a “gay Muslim trans-woman Iranian refugee amputee” who is willing to stand by me in times of need, I’m willing to stand by them and they’re welcome at my BBQ.
That was a nice outline ^^ (why does everyone think i’m being sarcastic?? i did not use /s or messy capitalization…)
77 million or so.
Allegedly.

I don’t know any R voter who has a single bad thing to say about what’s going on right now. I haven’t seen one online either. (except those saying it’s not going far or fast enough) I peek at /r/conservative every so often and it’s nothing but cheerleading.
And nothing happening right now is a surprise to anyone who wasn’t trying not to see it.
They are cool with it, or it’s not a dealbreaker, at best.

I’ve seen several regretful Trump voters in news articles.
But yeah, haven’t met any IRL either. Including my own parents.
“Sure the numbers are really bad and it keeps happening but…”
I’m gunna need you to shut your stupid fucking mouth. The US is a dangerous hellhole and no amount of deflection will override the fact that the country has a long and storied history of doing awful things to people at home and across the world. The reason you personally suck isn’t because you’re from the US, it’s because you’re trying to save yourself by downplaying the severity of what the country is doing. Be better.

You’ve probably never lived in the USA. From the sound of it.
*I’ve *lived here going on 60 years, in multiple parts of the country, in about ten different states. I’m also a veteran.
the country has a long and storied history of doing awful things to people at home and across the world.
100% accurate, whether that other commenter lives here or not.
You don’t need to live the US to know about it, and actually it makes it a lot easier because you aren’t dealing with their shitty education system or the propaganda. Besides, I’m Canadian, and have to deal with that pile of garbage all the damn time.
Get outta here acting like I can’t judge the US because I’m not in it. Get right outta here.
Deport is not wrong
This shows how scared they are of him. This is a bellwether moment.
It also shows how broken this country is when two groups of people can both look at this and have completely opposite reactions to it.
This is a bellwether moment.
More like a bellend moment…
Well, we’re a year late for Bell Riots.
Exactly, people were talking about controlled opposition and it looks like it is true.
If they thought he was so left he had no chance they would just laugh or even ignore (which normally they did not pay attention to primaries).

That is the core characteristic of ALL Conservatives - Fear. They are so afraid of EVERYTHING, that they want to preserve the safe little bubble they are in right now. ANY change is to be feared, and attacked.
It’s almost understandable until you realize it’s not just change for themselves they fear, it’s change for anyone else. Somehow, in their twisted minds, an increase in rights and humane treatment for others hurts them.
Conservatives see the world as a zero sum. In order for one group of people to gain rights, another group has to lose rights.
It’s because they fear they will lose their social “status” of being “better” than someone else. Because if everyone in the same then they can’t be “better”
“When you’re accustomed to privilege, equality feels like oppression”
Exactly. Authoritarianism is driven by two things, fearful followers who want to combat their fear with control, and social dominator leaders who take advantage of fearful followers for their own benefit.
Here is an entire free book full of research on the topic.
Totalitarianism in America by Chris Hedges is also a really good read for those wondering at how we got here and the movement behind it.
If he does try to do this, Democrats will fall over themselves to explain why they support the action, but quibble on how the paperwork was filed to implement it.

Just the past 6 months, especially after seeing all the evidence that supports their statement. Hell, just look no further than Congress.

Look at Dems “keeping a distance,” and endorsing the rapist and other criminal.
Everyone else asks God to shoot captive bolts into MAGA foreheads but we can’t always get what we want.
