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
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.
As a perpetually online individual I could swear that “conservatives” absolutely hated “thought crime” and political persecution for their beliefs…
Ohhhhh right, hypocrisy. I almost forgot. “Conservatives” use words as weapons and are only consistent in their inconsistent stated beliefs.
Having the Government STRIP the Citizenship of Americans it DOESNT LIKE and THEN Deporting them to El Salvador or Libya is called FREEDOM!
signed DONAKD J TRUMP the GREAT LEADER of THE country united STATES OF AMARICA hits post, shits pants
THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER
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.

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

“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 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.
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.
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.
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.

Arnold Schwarzenegger?
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…)

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.
deleted by creator
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.
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.

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.
“We are all domestic terrorists”
They already told us who they are, and nothing they’ve done would indicate otherwise.
Deport is not wrong
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 ?
Yeah lol the alternating caps is making fun of them for saying something absurd
SpOnGe cAsE is typically used to denote sarcasm
tHeRe ArE nO gAs ChAmBeRs! (yet)
Oh but there are.
This shows how scared they are of him. This is a bellwether moment.
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).
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.

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.
So, to be a republican you must be a whiny little ass baby
Do Republicans Know What Communism Is?
Short answer: No.
More precise answer: They don’t have a fucking clue.
Most relevant answer: No and they don’t really care, but they will still call you a communist and kick you out of the country if you annoy them.
Edit to add archive.ph link if desired.

and topping it off, “communist” is not an insult in the least.
Well that’s pretty ignorant of the mass murder that Mao and Stalin engineered amongst other atrocities by communist regimes.
Specifically referring to “in the least”
And this is from someone who has worn an enameled Lenin pin
Would Marx have said those folks are communist? I reckon “the least” sure yeah… but to me, compared to “capitalist” (which is gobs worse) - the moniker “communist” is not offensive.
Marx wouldn’t likely have accepted Stalin or Mao as “communist” either. Unfortunately like the word literally, “communist” has expanded in what it can mean.
Which is why I felt inclined to comment due to your use of “in the least”
I was called a communist at work a few years ago because I said, factually, that a lot of the memes about AOC being dumb were of entirely fabricated quotes.
The first time I heard of “communists” and “socialists” was back when I was in middle school, when Bush Jr got us into war. All I did was ask why in the world we were invading Iraq, which had nothing to do with Osama Bin Laden. Sincerely trying to understand the world. That’s when the already-brainwashed kids starting flinging “socialist” and “communist” like they meant the same thing as “idiot.”
So, I decided to read about those concepts to see what all the hubbub was about. Surprise surprise, when I later responded to those same kids by asking what they thought the words meant, they couldn’t answer the question.
Now I’m thinking it’s kind of like the Streisand Effect - 'Muricans don’t want you to know about how other countries run. I didn’t know about systems besides capitalism yet, until the spawn of conservatives decided to use ancient fears from the 1950s as an insult in the year 2003. Surprise surprise, now there’s a swath of Millennials (and other generations, of course) just like me who learned that if conservatives hate something, it’s worth looking into.
“Communist” and “socialist” are no different than “liberal” for them – just labels to selectively target those they don’t like, for whatever reason they decide. Just slap the label on and you’re good to go
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.
They love New York/Wall Street, because that’s where the money is, but they hate all the liberal artsy stuff.
Hear, hear! Excellent point.
If they already claim for citizenship revokal now, one can imagine how bad it can get when there are actual elections coming …
Consider this: if ICE took him tomorrow and disappeared him, what would happen realistically?
The Democrat party elites would celebrate together with the Republicans and the cokeheads at Wall Street as this means putting the sexual predator and “centrist” Cuomo back on the D ticket.
Those gravy seals would be shot dead by his security detail.
That’s what would happen, and why it won’t.
Wait, how does he have a security detail?
Money can be exchanged for goods and services.
I was more wondering where he got the money, but I guess you can spend campaign money on that stuff. That makes sense.
Apparently yes. I just looked it up. Five or six guys from the NYPD have the duty of protecting the mayor. On a case by case basis, his family might also get security. In the case of Rudy Juliani, both his wife and his mistress for security details because of course.
Would local guys defend against federal guys? Don’t know.
Well, he’s not the mayor, just someone running for mayor.
You really think a handful of local cops are going to get into a firefight with federal agents? This isn’t the movies. They’re not going to just see a handful of local cops and say “Drat! Foiled again!” while twirling their evil mustaches.
There’s only a handful of ways that’s going to go down.
- A bunch of local cops end up dead.
- A bunch of local cops end up in jail for crimes ranging from interfering with the duties of federal officers to murder of federal officers.
You’re forgetting the most likely option: 3. The local cops simply hand him over to the feds. Cops are not your fucking friends I don’t know how much clearer it can get at this point.
You are correct. I edited that in because it should have been obvious and included from the beginning. My bad.
