The underlying organizations will just reform under new garbage that will do a better job of hiding their true faces.
So we'll go back to how it was in the 70s and 80s. The bigots will just go back into hiding and working in the shadows. The rise of Trump emboldened these people, that's the only reason they are as open as they are now about their views.
 

wonko the sane?

You may test that assumption at your convinience.

However, I don't think they'll be as successful in hiding: it's not the 80's anymore. Everyone's lives are so much more public thanks to everyone's addiction to social media... and, of course, the internet doesn't forget.

They might create a new group to ooze into: but it's also going to haunt when it comes to interacting with the rest of the world.

Several individuals have now been outed by name, and that's just in the article. The leaks probably dumped all of them. God willing, none of those people will feel safe ever again, and all the better if they're periodically given reasons not to.

FB friend:
Do you know why Republicans think it's no big deal that "Young Republicans" were caught praising Hitler and talking about raping and murdering dissidents?

Because that's how they talk in private, so they think these "Young Republicans" screwed up only by leaving an electronic trail. In their social circles, it's commonplace to talk like this. That's what it means when they shrug it off as no big deal. In their minds, they're thinking "yeah, we all say stuff like that, but you shouldn't have said it online, dumb-ass".

People need to recognize how deeply this rot extends into Republican political culture.

"Young republicans" was a group for 18-40. Vance only just aged out of it... though I suspect they wouldn't have accepted him anyway, what with the couch *******. Too weird for the gay pedophiles.
