🚨 THE REPUBLICAN PARTY IS HAVING A CHARACTER CRISIS 🚨

Yesterday’s post exploded — it’s clear this story struck a nerve — because the truth is, what these Young Republicans wrote isn’t just offensive. It’s disqualifying.

There was a time when Republicans ran on “character counts” and “moral leadership.” Reagan. Bush. Dole. McCain. Bumper stickers that said decency matters.

Now? The party’s rising stars are texting about gas chambers, calling rape “epic,” praising Hitler, and mocking Black Americans, gay people, and immigrants.

And the top of the ticket barely shrugs.

Nearly 3,000 leaked messages show Young Republican using racist slurs, Holocaust jokes, and violent fantasies — all while holding official titles and building their political careers inside the GOP.

Peter Giunta, a legislative aide in New York, wrote: “I love Hitler” and “If your pilot is a she and she looks ten shades darker than someone from Sicily, just end it there.”

In Vermont, State Senator Samuel Douglass joined in with racist and misogynistic remarks. His wife, Brianna Douglass, posted an antisemitic slur.

In Kansas, the state GOP has now disbanded its entire Young Republicans group.

Some have been fired. Some have apologized. But President Trump hasn’t said a word. And Vice President JD Vance waved it off as “just group chat talk.”

Let’s be clear — this wasn’t “youthful stupidity” or “bad jokes.”

It was violent, dehumanizing filth from people holding real positions of influence. They weren’t joking — they were fantasizing about torture, rape, and racial supremacy. They weren’t testing boundaries — they were erasing them.

These are the faces of a party being re‑engineered in Trump’s image: loyal, cruel, and unapologetic. The next generation of Republican leadership isn’t being shaped by Reagan’s optimism — it’s being hardened by Trump’s vindictiveness.

The party of character has become the party of cruelty — and the worst part is, they know it. They’re proud of it.
