We do our best to dress it up in academic language but it really must be said plainly that if you’re an unironic anti-vaxxer you’re a fucking dumbass

Also worth noting that showing someone facts that contradict their existing narrative is treated as a difference of opinion rather than a refutation. Lots of false balance being created to prop up debate around topics which, according to scientific consensus, aren't in question at all.

I find it absolutely insane that we live amongst people who will immediately believe every ridiculous claim that comes out of the mouth of a feudal king or a dictator, but then be completely skeptical about empirically proven, peer-reviewed facts that are shared by experts

10 years ago, Amanda Marcotte was calling Bernie supporters a bunch of racist, sexist, spoiled rich kids and now she's trying to launder the history of the Young Republicans. el oh fucking el.

They have 100% always been this way, though notably the transition from helicopter rides and referencing crushing minorities abroad humorlessly transitioned to nazi shit, but like that's basically a new layer of paint instead of a new perspective.

For those tempted to say Young Republicans have always been this way, they really have not. When I worked on campus and did bipartisan college events after, they were very much not like this.
That's why groups like YCT and eventually TPUSA formed -because Young Republicans weren't radical enough.
