This shows how scared they are of him. This is a bellwether moment.

I am becoming increasingly sick of seeing the word 'deport' being used by Republicans who are suggesting revoking citizenship and a banishment. It's exile.

Remember when they all claimed they had no problem with LEGAL immigration?

Well yeah, they had a problem with any kind that makes them lose.

They really are afraid. Very good.

Don't Republicans hate New York? You'd think they'd be thrilled with the opportunity for socialism to ruin one of the bluest cities in the US. Maybe they're worried something else will happen.

Do Republicans Know What Communism Is?

Short answer: No.

More precise answer: They don't have a fucking clue.

Most relevant answer: No and they don't really care, but they will still call you a communist and kick you out of the country if you annoy them.

Edit to add archive.ph link if desired.

In 1954, President Dwight Eisenhower signed the Communist Control Act into law. In theory, this outlawed the Communist Party of the United States and banned communists from serving in certain roles.

WTF

[It passed because] many opposed communism because of its explicitly declared and historically demonstrable goal to undermine liberal democracy. In the words of Ernest van den Haag, there was "no place in democracy for those who want to abolish [it] even with a peaceful vote".

The irony of using it here would be palpable

As a perpetually online individual I could swear that "conservatives" absolutely hated "thought crime" and political persecution for their beliefs...

Ohhhhh right, hypocrisy. I almost forgot. "Conservatives" use words as weapons and are only consistent in their inconsistent stated beliefs.

As a naturalized US Citizen, this is why I couldn't sleep well on November 5, 2024, and haven't ever really had a good night of sleep since the next morning, when I saw the election results.

I’m calling on the federal government to strip the citizenship of every member and associate of the New York Young Republican Club (NYYRC) because they are a threat to the USA.

ICE needs to step in and quickly deport them before their case can be heard in court.

Reminds me of this time last year when Trump was on trial for a half dozen things.

Everyone was all like "ooh it would be so undemocratic to try someone while they're campaigning".

Meanwhile republicans can just uncitizen anyone they don't like.

You can't win if no one is playing by the rules.

The mask is off! Strip them of their citizenship and deport them to a third world prison? What a fucked up party they have become.

I've read that Democrats are also looking at arcane old rules to try to disqualify him, so if the MAGA Nazis come for him, don't expect any support from the Democratic Party.

Appalling. Only the repugnicans would stoop this low. He’s been American since 2018. If they succeed in this - the US is truly Germany in the early 1930s.

On June 2, New York City Council Member Vickie Paladino, a Republican, wrote: "Let's just talk about how insane it is to elect someone to any major office who hasn't even been a US citizen for ten years—much less a radical leftist who actually hates everything about the country and is here specifically to undermine everything we've ever been about. Deport."

Mamdani hit back at Paladino on X, saying: "Like nearly 40% of all New Yorkers, I wasn't born in this country. I moved here at age 7. It's my home. And I'm proud to be a citizen, which means standing up for our Constitution. Councilmember Paladino might consider reading it."

Great clapback.

Why do they hate democracy so much?

Having the Government STRIP the Citizenship of Americans it DOESNT LIKE and THEN Deporting them to El Salvador or Libya is called FREEDOM!

Do it. This would trigger the uprising we need.

The fact that a party so blatantly unconstitutional (and criminal) can get so much support in this country is not a good sign for the future of this nation. I wouldn't invest any hope in things getting better anytime soon. And I mean even when Trump is gone.

Dark future.

Yeah that's not going to happen. Zohran Mamdani is in no way a threat to the US. Period.

If it did happen I bet LA this last month will look like a slumber party compared to what will happen as a result of this actually happening.

I hope Zohran gets a group of armed bodyguards. Sooner or later, ICE will try to disappear him.

The White House has framed the upset victory by Mamdani, who could become New York City's first Muslim and Indian American mayor, as evidence of uncontrolled migration...

And by "uncontrolled migration" they mean "brown people getting uppity and not knowing their place."

That’s fascism

That's how you know he actually might get something good done.

They really freak out when their carefully cultivated alternative propaganda reality is contradicted by ACTUAL reality, and they have to face the fact that without the ability to cheat, they can't win.

Everyone else asks God to shoot captive bolts into MAGA foreheads but we can't always get what we want.

Wow republicans are all scared little pussies aren’t they?

If he does. Time for even more mass protests. Shut down the streets of New York until his citizenship is restored.

At this point I think GOP is simply a fascist party, which has been hiding behind false patriotism.

They are simply atrociously and with no sense of humanity or ridiculousness. Just pure hatred personified into a shell of human beings.

If I were to be religious I would think that Trump is the anti-Christ and his followers are simply demons.

If he does try to do this, Democrats will fall over themselves to explain why they support the action, but quibble on how the paperwork was filed to implement it.
