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.
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”.

The irony of using it here would be palpable
The freedest country on earth.
All citizens are free. It’s just some are free-er then others.
Sure, Piss Off 9 Million People surrounding the DC area, sounds like a great idea lmfao.
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.
This is the battle that determines our future. If we lose this, it’s war, or submission for years or decades, and then war.

If they already claim for citizenship revokal now, one can imagine how bad it can get when there are actual elections coming …
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.
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
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
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.
So fucking sick of the peter pan party
Put every last one of these right wing lunatics in prison.
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.
This shows how scared they are of him. This is a bellwether moment.

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.
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”
“When you’re accustomed to privilege, equality feels like oppression”
Conservatives see the world as a zero sum. In order for one group of people to gain rights, another group has to lose rights.
Like cars that don’t go vroom.
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).
This is a bellwether moment.
More like a bellend moment…
Well, we’re a year late for Bell Riots.
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.

If they revoked a U.S. citizens of his citizenship, that will provoke nation wide protests across the U.S., you dont revoked citizenship unless someone has done something extremely egregious, and there are very very few cases of that ever happening in the U.S. (maybe none, I havent looked it up).
I personally will not sit down and just take these wackjobs shit laying down. This country is everybody’s, not just the far-right dipshits christofascist playground.
This guy has done literally nothing except want a better future for people. That’s not a crime.
they are currently disappearing citizens who are on their way to work. what makes you think people will protest any more or differently than they are?
Yeah, well, we had the largest protest in U.S. history on June 14th, we aren’t doing nothing. Would you like us to make the potential civil war hot now or later? I honestly would prefer to just do this shit peacefully, but that may not be an option. We certainly aren’t doing nothing like you are saying. Just bcz hou dont personally see it doesn’t mean everyone is laying down.
we had the largest protest in U.S. history on June 14th, we aren’t doing nothing
Nope. No Kings was the third largest in US history after Earth Day 1970 and BLM, and given that it was basically a weekend parade I’d say No Kings was nothing.
Why dont you organize a bigger one then that isn’t on a weekend, and try to get more people to participate instead of just complaining about it? If you’re not going to do something then be quiet…Seriously, who comes in with this shit, ‘actually iTs oNlY ThE tHiRd bIgGeSt iN hIStOrY’
I’m not complaining; I’m simply making a statement of fact. Quite literally no resistance happened on June 14th.
oh i didn’t say we were not doing nothing - I just can’t talk online about how I really feel it’s gonna end up.
I just can’t talk online about how I really feel it’s gonna end up.
Just wish we’d get it over with already so the healing and rebuilding can start. I’d like to see things head the right way before old age takes me in a couple decades, and it’s gonna be a bit to undo all this.
Unfortunately I strongly believe peaceful protest only works with a government that actually gives a shit. If we had a government that was comprised of people who we simply disagreed with but who still respected “the will of the people” they’d react to massive outcries.
We do not have that government. We have a government actively pushing for the president to have
dictator“unitary executive” powers. As in: setting the president above the judiciary, and having Congress subservient to the presidency. They do not give a single solitary fuck about how upset we are about XYZ thing.
They’ve already deported US Citizens without even revoking their citizenship - https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/ice-deported-3-children-who-are-u-s-citizens-their-families-lawyers-say
So, we’ve kinda already crossed that threshold.
Everyone else asks God to shoot captive bolts into MAGA foreheads but we can’t always get what we want.
