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.

        Watch that be something super small time as well, like a guy who owns three convenience stores within about a mile of each other.

    The national party better figure out quickly that the next election isn’t going to be

    “Blue no matter who”

    It’s going to be

    “More green than blue or else fuck you too!”

    As a naturalized US Citizen, this is why I couldn’t sleep well on November 5, 2024, and haven’t ever really had a good night of sleep since the next morning, when I saw the election results.

      Citizenship doesn’t exist under a tyranny. There’s only people inside the circle and people outside the circle. And the circle constantly gets smaller

    I’ve read that Democrats are also looking at arcane old rules to try to disqualify him, so if the MAGA Nazis come for him, don’t expect any support from the Democratic Party.

    I’m calling on the federal government to strip the citizenship of every member and associate of the New York Young Republican Club (NYYRC) because they are a threat to the USA.

    ICE needs to step in and quickly deport them before their case can be heard in court.

      Now that the Supreme court has approved of deportations to third countries, this is actually feasible. Maybe Uganda would like to welcome them. Or perhaps Libya.

    Republicans start being revolting, very early in their political careers, it seems. Maybe they are born that way.

    A photo of Trump next to a normal (both in looks and mentally) person never stops being surprising, hilarious and disturbing. We all know he both looks and behaves like an absolute clown, but most photos of him are of his goons and/or other dictators (real or wannabes) who all look ridiculous so you don’t get that direct comparison.

    Yeah that’s not going to happen. Zohran Mamdani is in no way a threat to the US. Period.

    If it did happen I bet LA this last month will look like a slumber party compared to what will happen as a result of this actually happening.

    If he does. Time for even more mass protests. Shut down the streets of New York until his citizenship is restored.

    In 1954, President Dwight Eisenhower signed the Communist Control Act into law. In theory, this outlawed the Communist Party of the United States and banned communists from serving in certain roles.

    WTF

    [It passed because] many opposed communism because of its explicitly declared and historically demonstrable goal to undermine liberal democracy. In the words of Ernest van den Haag, there was “no place in democracy for those who want to abolish [it] even with a peaceful vote”.

      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.

            It’s because they fear they will lose their social “status” of being “better” than someone else. Because if everyone is the same then they can’t be “better”

            Conservatives see the world as a zero sum. In order for one group of people to gain rights, another group has to lose rights.

        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.
