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.
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
The freedest country on earth.
All citizens are free. It’s just some are free-er then others.
I hope Zohran gets a group of armed bodyguards. Sooner or later, ICE will try to disappear him.
It’s probably illegal to resist and illegal deportation
AFAICT, the law is not very well settled at all about whether you have a right to defend yourself when the cops are acting like a bunch of bozos. There’s case law that supports people defending themselves from middle of the night no-knocks raids, and also case law that basically says “it’s your fault for not just magically knowing it was the police”. There’s case law that says that you are within your rights to not obey lawful orders when the police fail to properly identify themselves, but it’s also an absolute mess of state level laws and rulings, with some states basically being like “you are legally required to just know who the cops are” and others requiring that the police very clearly identify themselves with some type of proof of who they are.
And none of it matters much when SCOTUS will just say “Well, actually based on this comment in the margins of this memo on an irrelevant case you can’t defend yourself”.
So fucking sick of the peter pan party
Sure, Piss Off 9 Million People surrounding the DC area, sounds like a great idea lmfao.
This all comes back to Americans. We were too soft on the rebels. Gave them back everything and figured they learned their lessons. We should have known better. After the next one, we need to fix this cancer once and for all. We can just send them all to Greenland after they take it over. The south will rise again, they say, but this time. You can rise there and stay there.

We did know better.
BUT, FUCK ANDREW JOHNSON.
Im fairly certain that Greenland has had more than enough America bullshit.
Correct. But if we swap 50k greenlanders with like 50 million MAGA. We can welcome them in and give them a good life. They will be honored citizens. It would suck to leave your homeland but imagine…you’re the 50k that made the ultimate sacrifice. To leave MAGA on an island, easily isolated from the world.

100% that works, too, but I’m sure the blowback for 50 million dead would come back hard on us from the international community. Would make Gaza look like child’s play.
They really are afraid. Very good.
If this happens. Thats it. General strike. I already voted for myself to strike with my union. I’ll just add this to the strike list.
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.

Just the past 6 months, especially after seeing all the evidence that supports their statement. Hell, just look no further than Congress.

Look at Dems “keeping a distance,” and endorsing the rapist and other criminal.
If they revoked a U.S. citizens of his citizenship, that will provoke nation wide protests across the U.S., you dont revoked citizenship unless someone has done something extremely egregious, and there are very very few cases of that ever happening in the U.S. (maybe none, I havent looked it up).
I personally will not sit down and just take these wackjobs shit laying down. This country is everybody’s, not just the far-right dipshits christofascist playground.
This guy has done literally nothing except want a better future for people. That’s not a crime.
They’ve already deported US Citizens without even revoking their citizenship - https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/ice-deported-3-children-who-are-u-s-citizens-their-families-lawyers-say
So, we’ve kinda already crossed that threshold.
they are currently disappearing citizens who are on their way to work. what makes you think people will protest any more or differently than they are?
Yeah, well, we had the largest protest in U.S. history on June 14th, we aren’t doing nothing. Would you like us to make the potential civil war hot now or later? I honestly would prefer to just do this shit peacefully, but that may not be an option. We certainly aren’t doing nothing like you are saying. Just bcz hou dont personally see it doesn’t mean everyone is laying down.

Nope. No Kings was the third largest in US history after Earth Day 1970 and BLM, and given that it was basically a weekend parade I’d say No Kings was nothing.
Why dont you organize a bigger one then that isn’t on a weekend, and try to get more people to participate instead of just complaining about it? If you’re not going to do something then be quiet…Seriously, who comes in with this shit, ‘actually iTs oNlY ThE tHiRd bIgGeSt iN hIStOrY’
I’m not complaining; I’m simply making a statement of fact. Quite literally no resistance happened on June 14th.
oh i didn’t say we were not doing nothing - I just can’t talk online about how I really feel it’s gonna end up.

Just wish we’d get it over with already so the healing and rebuilding can start. I’d like to see things head the right way before old age takes me in a couple decades, and it’s gonna be a bit to undo all this.
Unfortunately I strongly believe peaceful protest only works with a government that actually gives a shit. If we had a government that was comprised of people who we simply disagreed with but who still respected “the will of the people” they’d react to massive outcries.
We do not have that government. We have a government actively pushing for the president to have
dictator“unitary executive” powers. As in: setting the president above the judiciary, and having Congress subservient to the presidency. They do not give a single solitary fuck about how upset we are about XYZ thing.
Put every last one of these right wing lunatics in prison.
Everyone else asks God to shoot captive bolts into MAGA foreheads but we can’t always get what we want.
A photo of Trump next to a normal (both in looks and mentally) person never stops being surprising, hilarious and disturbing. We all know he both looks and behaves like an absolute clown, but most photos of him are of his goons and/or other dictators (real or wannabes) who all look ridiculous so you don’t get that direct comparison.
If they already claim for citizenship revokal now, one can imagine how bad it can get when there are actual elections coming …
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.
THE US ALREADY IS GODDAMMIT!!
WHY DOES NOBODY UNDERSTAND THIS??
ARM UP, GODDAMMIT!!!
The US is already there. We arrived about 2-3 months ago.

There was an Italian socialist politician called Giacomo Matteotti who got disappeared after he spoke up against the fascist regime. It marks the turning point for the Italian dictatorship. If this century is truly a Disney bad reboot of the previous, we could be seeing some similarities with Mamdani.
I doubt entrenched powers would let the mayor of the biggest US city actually do anything radical like what he campaigned for. Capitalists will collaborate with politicians to either have him removed or make him woefully inefficient. It will definitely be an uphill battle.

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