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.

    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”

        Conservatives see the world as a zero sum. In order for one group of people to gain rights, another group has to lose rights.
