If you think your being the type who doesn't follow rules and sliding into my DMs without my invitation is gonna get a positive response, think again. You will be blocked and I will post it.

Conversation with a man who did not respect my boundaries because he's "not the type who follows rules".

A lot of them aren't even kids. Young Republicans is for people between 18 and 40. They're not on the younger end of that age spectrum.

To find the assumed age of a white Republican you have to divide the cardiovascular age by the number of presidential elections they’ve voted in

Here are the grown “kids”. That one guy looks late 40’s. These are the Hitler lovers.

Vermont state senator Sam Douglass. Bland white guy with glasses and beard. Brown hair.

Man in poorly fitting dark suit with glasses and dark hair. Yes he’s white. William Hendrix who is the communications assistant to vile Kris Kobach, Kansas AG.

Bobby Walker, dark hair and dressed exactly like trump. Not a kid at all. He’s vice chair of New York State young republicans. I guess young means under 50.

Peter Giunta looks like he’s in his 40’s. I don’t know his age. Also dressed like trump in an ill-fitting suit. He has one of the worst combovers I’ve ever seen. Beard and mustache. He’s the chair of the NY state young republicans. He looks like the type of guy that looks through your windows at night.

He gives $20 Billion of OUR dollars to bailout Argentina without consulting Congress or the American people. Does that seem like the actions of a KING to you?

Jeffries: "It's perplexing to us that Rs refuse to spend a dime to protect the healthcare of the American people, but somehow the Trump admin found $40b to bail out a right-wing wannabe dictator in Argentina in ways that are also going to continue to hurt our soybean farmers in Iowa & the Midwest"

“white people who claim they’re being persecuted” is pretty much the entire GOP brand (gift link: www.nytimes.com/2025/10/15/u...)

Trump Considers Overhaul of Refugee System That Would Favor White People
The proposals would transform a program aimed at helping the most vulnerable people in the world into one that gives preference to mostly white people who say they are being persecuted.

Yes. Very casually turning the SSFA into a determination that any statute addressing race discrimination must be time-bound. Just absolutely untrue. An utter usurpation of Congress’ enforcement power under the 14th & 15th Amendments.

Jamal Greene @jamalgreene.bsky.social · 7h

Justice Kavanaugh in the Callais oral argument keeps alluding to some longstanding requirement of strict scrutiny that use of race have a time limit. This is invented.

The young republicans are just as they have told us who they are, racist, xenophobic, antisemitic, misogynistic and facist.

Me too. When I was a little girl, the "parade of nations" costumes and traditional garb that pagent contestants wore was always the most interesting part for me.

Yes. The appeal is never having to grow up or accommodate yourself to the needs or interests of others. It is enormously appealing, apparently. And not just to young people.

Joey Fishkin @fishkin.bsky.social · 19h

It truly appears that the desire to say this sort of stuff without being socially ostracized and so on has been a main driver of one side of our politics from the "anti-PC" 1990s all the way through the "anti-woke" / "anti-DEI" present.

A true political juggernaut, this desire certain people have.

If men with guns and masks tried to pull me out of my car, I'd fight back. Courts should reject any claims by the government that this is aggression by the person being detained, resisting arrest, or that they're a flight risk.
