  1. >The “RESTOREYR WAR ROOM” chat, spanning more than 2,900 pages, some 28,000+ messages, included state YR leaders from [New York](http://advocate.com/new-york), [Kansas](http://advocate.com/kansas), [Arizona](http://advocate.com/arizona), and [Vermont](http://advocate.com/vermont). Among the participants, according to *Politico*, were **William Hendrix**, vice chair of the Kansas YRs; **Bobby Walker**, vice chair of the New York State YRs; and **Peter Giunta**, then chair of New York’s YRs, who also works as chief of staff to a state assemblymember.

    >In those texts, they did more than scheme electoral strategy. They spoke freely of “putting voters in gas chambers,” gaslighted dissenters, and praised Hitler. **Giunta** wrote: “Everyone who votes no is going to the gas chamber … Great, I love Hitler.” In response, **Joe Maligno**, the general counsel for the New York Young Republicans, quipped, “Can we fix the showers? Gas chambers don’t fit the Hitler aesthetic.” **Kaykaty** replied, “I’m ready to watch people burn now.”

    Just figured you wanted their names. For posterity.

    Edit: some more:

    >The group also mocked Asian and Latino people. “My people built the train tracks with the Chinese,” **Walker** wrote, referring to his Italian heritage.

    >“Let his people go!” **Maligno** shot back. “Keep the ch–ks, though.”

    >In another conversation, **Luke Mosiman**, chair of the Arizona Young Republicans, wrote, “The Spanish came to America and had sex with every single woman.”

    >“Sex is gay,” replied **Alex Dwyer**, the Kansas Young Republicans chair.

    >“Sex? It was rape,” **Mosiman** said.

    >“Epic,” **Walker** responded.

    That’s your folk, Republicans. BTW, they, like many fascists/nazi who self admit, were not smart enough to actually cover their face. They feel confident to say this shit openly with it being easily tracked and tacked to their name. So that’s where we are at now. That level of boldness is awarded with confidence of to say and do whatever they want. They think they are Trump, they think they are awarded the same protections.

    and they are not. Might be worth reminding millions more of these four’s words come the 18th, in case you were looking for inspiration for signs.

  2. The problem with this story is that it surprises exactly no one. They are exactly who we have been saying they are: Nazi sociopaths.

    By now, you are either a Nazi yourself, and you vote for Republicans because they are Nazis too, or you are not a Nazi, and you don’t vote for Republicans.

    There are only two sides in America today: Nazi and not Nazi.

    Weeks-long news cycle if this was Democrats. I suspect this will blow over immediately

    This is probably some of the same people behind the YouTube bot spam comments that say the exact same type of horrid crap

  5. The future of the Conservative movement is bleak. It’s like 4chan created a political party, this kind of chat was already corny edgelord territory 10 years ago. We can look forward to epic Chungus memes and “Libs Owned Like a Boss” videos from our representatives.

    Conservative leaders including our president and vice president already post cringy memes and AI music videos so we couldn’t stoop much lower.

    I feel like it should be mentioned that these are the kinds of organizations that Kirk’s TPUSA has been partnering with on campuses since its inception.

  9. Fascism is the explicit, public policy of the Republican Party, it’s just that Americans have been taught that fascism means “brutal dictatorship,” rather than an ideology that supports brutal dictatorships.

    If we looked up the actual definition we’d have to confront the fact that “we must use manly strength to destroy those who humiliate us, and we must restore the social order of the glorious past” is actually well within the Overton Window of US politics and has been for a long time.

    Heh, Peter Giunta just took down his LinkedIn profile.

    I wonder how bad it got (deservedly).

    Look at their pictures. Not a one of them has had consensual sex in their lives. Just a bunch of fat incels.
