Zohran Mamdani won the Democratic primary for the 2025 New York mayoral election.

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.

    Become? This is who and what the cons and the Republicans are.

    Don’t let anyone fool you with that “true conservative” bullshit.

      It is hard to understand this as I grew up around a lot of conservatives who actually had values and decency.

      If you told me even ten years ago that Republicans would be calling for US citizens to be deported I would have said you were crazy, but here we are.

        I could have told you decades prior to that. I grew up in an area that was deeply, deeply red.

        Sure, maybe not every conservative/Republican is overly weird about things like race, religion, and the “blood and soil” stuff…but far, far too many are.
