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.

          It might be against my, and your, morals but each of the things I pointed out were carried out by Americans within the bounds of the law. Unfortunately whether or not this fits in with the morals and laws of the US as a whole is very much up for debate.

          I’m not saying it never happened before, I’m saying it’s against our laws and morals.

          It’s only against our laws and morals if we actually don’t do it, and don’t allow it to be done again.

      I hate to break it to you, but Americans are exceedingly inculcated with the idea of exiling racial groups.

            Ah, you’re making the mistake of thinking we have free and fair presidential elections. We do not. It’s fucked.

              I don’t know any R voter who has a single bad thing to say about what’s going on right now. I haven’t seen one online either. (except those saying it’s not going far or fast enough) I peek at /r/conservative every so often and it’s nothing but cheerleading.

              And nothing happening right now is a surprise to anyone who wasn’t trying not to see it.

              They are cool with it, or it’s not a dealbreaker, at best.

                I’ve seen several regretful Trump voters in news articles.

                But yeah, haven’t met any IRL either. Including my own parents.

                  I’ve seen several regretful Trump voters in news articles.

                  What gets me is those articles are always like “MAGA civil war over this decision from Trump!” And of course that’s what you want to hear, and you think ‘finally!’ and then it’s screenshots of like 3 disgruntled magas on X, one of whom thinks he hasn’t gone far enough.

          Matters little if that “very small group” has power and is getting away with it

          “Sure the numbers are really bad and it keeps happening but…”

          I’m gunna need you to shut your stupid fucking mouth. The US is a dangerous hellhole and no amount of deflection will override the fact that the country has a long and storied history of doing awful things to people at home and across the world. The reason you personally suck isn’t because you’re from the US, it’s because you’re trying to save yourself by downplaying the severity of what the country is doing. Be better.

              You’ve probably never lived in the USA. From the sound of it.

              I’ve lived here going on 60 years, in multiple parts of the country, in about ten different states. I’m also a veteran.

              the country has a long and storied history of doing awful things to people at home and across the world.

              100% accurate, whether that other commenter lives here or not.
