I love that both democrats and Republicans are losing their fucking minds. We did something right if that's the case.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

I'm glad The NY Times is at least regularly calling these racist now in their news department, instead of "racially charged" or whatever.
But his shock win put him on the national radar, and some Republicans in Congress are now seeking to undermine him using a strategy similar to the racist one that Donald J. Trump employed against former President Barack Obama by questioning whether he was born in the United States. [...]
Some Democrats condemned the comments and expressed outrage, although they have learned not to expect any response. And their denunciations of racist attacks typically disappear into a morass of polarized content on social media. [...]
[Senator Tommy Tuberville, Republican of Alabama] made racist comments in response, lamenting New York City’s high concentration of undocumented immigrants and referring to them as vermin who “live off the federal government.”

And then he snatched some cheese from a nearby reporter before scurrying off to his hole that he chewed into the wall. Later, while fucking his rat wife, he called Muslims "rat fuckers," apparently as a condemnation of someone other than himself.
Right wing Republicans? Are there currently left wing Republicans? I'm sure there are like 3 left wing Democrats but, the lion's share of politicians in the United States are right wing.
It's as opposed to right wing Democrats who are also making islamophobic attacks against him.

You are literally in a thread about a Socialist Democrat
That just means centre-right in the US political landscape

They call them Democrats i think
Republicans have long known their rhetoric is bullshit but have relied on Dems vote blue no matter who to keep the status quo.
Now that the Dems can no longer count on that, republicans are fucking terrified, while the Dems are scrambling to figure out how to keep the base content
This was the result of a Dem primary.
It will be interesting now to see how the "Vote Blue no matter who" gets interpreted now.
You can’t simultaneously be unamerican and have a fire club remix on SoundCloud where you’re rapping about your grandma. That’s the most American thing ever.
Racist politicians in Congress attack Mamdani with islamophobic comments
