While Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) promised that if she were in charge of Jan. 6, people would have been more armed and dangerous, other speakers at the Young Republicans gala in New York City talked about the next civil war.

The Southern Poverty Law Center, which tracks extremism throughout the United States, cited the speech from the Young republican president Gavin Wax, who told the Upper East side gala, “We want to cross the Rubicon. We want total war. We must be prepared to do battle in every arena. In the media. In the courtroom. At the ballot box. And in the streets."

Hatewatch reporters were on hand to observe as white nationalists Peter and Lyndia Brimelow of VDARE met with Steve Bannon and Donald Trump Jr., where they took selfies.

"Republicans publicly lauded members of an Austrian political party founded by World War II-era German Nazi party members," said the SPLC observers. Newsweek opinion editor Josh Hammer joked with "racist political operative Jack Posobiec," the site said. Posobiec was the one who spread the false Pizzagate conspiracy. Newsweek has grown increasingly friendly to extremists over the past several years as Hammer invited Posobiec onto his podcast. Though lately, he's been more supportive of Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) over Donald Trump. ...........................

White Nationalists, Other Republicans Brace for ‘Total War’




December 11, 2022
Hannah Gais and Michael Edison Hayden

A collection of radical right figures including white nationalists and ultranationalist European leaders gathered in Manhattan for the New York Young Republicans Club’s (NYYRC) annual gala Saturday night, where that group’s president declared “total war” on perceived enemies.

At the five-hour event, which Hatewatch reporters attended, white nationalists Peter and Lydia Brimelow of VDARE hobnobbed with Steve Bannon, a former Trump adviser and White House official. Donald Trump Jr. was also in attendance.

Republicans publicly lauded members of an Austrian political party founded by World War II-era German Nazi party members. Racist political operative Jack Posobiec shared jokes across a table with Josh Hammer, the opinion editor of Newsweek. Multiple recently elected GOP congresspeople applauded Marjorie Taylor Greene, who told the NYYRC crowd in the event’s closing remarks that the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol would have succeeded if she had planned it and that the insurrectionists would have been armed.

“Then Jan. 6 happened. And next thing you know, I organized the whole thing, along with Steve Bannon,” Greene said, referring to allegations that she had led reconnaissance tours of the Capitol for soon-to-be insurrectionists in the days prior to the violence..........................

1. Sometimes I fear there's a war brewing

[pnwmom]

2. It's sad to see what's happened to Newsweek. I'm old enough to remember

when it was supposed to be a liberal publication.

[keep_left]

3. Here's the link from the article, for those who might consider Raw Story "questionable".

https://www.splcenter.org/hatewatch/2022/12/11/white-nationalists-other-republicans-brace-total-war

These "Young Republicans" are really using dangerous language. I sure hope everyone who attended ends up on multiple Three-Letter-Agency watch lists.

[riversedge]

4. Thanks, I had just added this link and a bit of the link story to OP--

[Alexander Of Assyria]

6. Dangerous language?? No such thing in America! Say what you want! It's all protected, and must ofc

be met with more free speech…pro insurrection and hate speech and anti! ….so nothing like an insurrection or coup can ever happen in America! Could it?

[certainot]

32. problem is we can't have free speech and democracy if we keep letting RW and russians coordinate

messaging on 1500 radio stations and dominate the media buzz in 40+ stations

that's not free speech. those stations have all denied global warming for 30 years and been used by putin since at least 2008 and they are all licensed to operate in the public interest.

until americans fix that 'free speech' serves fascists, misogynists, and racists

that's where these POSs got their alt reality. does anyone think a bunch of 40 and 50 year olds got it off twitter and facebook? even a lot of the 20 and 30 yo spend time driving with the radio

[Fullduplexxx]

35. you shouldnt be allow to have a monopoly on free speech

[certainot]

45. political talk radio is the only major media monopoly. there are free easy 'alternatives' for FOX,

social media, internet, newspapers in this country.

rw radio is the problem, the ONLY significant media difference but dem and media leadership continue to ignore it

very stupid

[markodochartaigh]

49. Incitement is not free speech. nt.

[Alexander Of Assyria]

5. Germany can arrest such people, and just did! Difference? Hate speech laws.

[Evolve Dammit]

8. It would be welcome by me. Overdue IMHO

[DFW]

57. Fox "News" was refused a license to broadcast here

Here in Germany, there are still laws on the books that outlaw Nazi-style propaganda. Plenty of people still try to get around it, of course, but a foreign TV channel attracts a little more scrutiny than some idiot who thinks his grandfather in the Waffen-SS got a raw deal.

[Alexander Of Assyria]

65. Sensible law, democracy needs a shield, and it's not unrestricted free speech.

[PortTack]

7. Thing is..they are dead in the water! No up coming youth vote, saw a story here yesterday about

no big latino shift to the gqp, their old base is dying off.

This midterm proved a lot of things, but mostly…Americans are not buying the crap they are selling. This last election is as good as it’s going to get for them until they truly restructure.

[PSPS]

22. They won't need "youth" or much of any vote. The supreme court is working on that right now.

[PortTack]

54. Marc Elias, Neil Katyal, rob Reiner and several others, some who were there for the arguments

About moore v Harper say at least 6 other judges were unimpressed with the arguments in support of. They think the vote will be at least 6-3 or 7-2 against

[Botany]

9. Sue them

Just because you read crazy ass shit on the internet and your breakfast is Capt. Crunch, vodka, and crystal
meth and you believe that stupid ass shit you do not have the right to stop another American from their 1st
amendment freedoms.

F.A. & F.O.

Link to tweet

These Proud Boys, along with the Patriot Front, and White Lives Matters "friends" who stopped a children's Xmas
party that had some drag queens there are in for a world of hurt. Take their homes, their cars, their bass boats,
and their bank accounts because they claimed that children were being "groomed" to be LGBT fine let 'em prove it
in court.

[Evolve Dammit]

13. domestic terrorism pure and simple. Do I need to draw a diagram DOJ? They aren't carrying signs.

[bringthePaine]

10. fuck the "double down" traitors - time for maximum anti-terror, RICO, and sedition penalties

[Evolve Dammit]

11. exactly. We gotta go back to when this shit was met head on. And yeah I welcome their hatred.

[Alexander Of Assyria]

41. Impossible. Free speech would be violated! More important than arresting coup plotters, apparently??

[hadEnuf]

43. We either do it that way or we WILL be fighting them in the streets.

We've even got that piece of filth MGT talking like and representing these Nazis and insurrectionists.

Who's fucking country is this anyway? Enough is enough.

[ashredux]

14. Most all of the don't understand war....

A guerilla uprising at best that would be deadly, it would be put down quickly…most are just idiots

[Cha]

15. Be Careful what you wish for, Assholes. nt

[Kath2]

38. That was my first thought, also.

[Baitball Blogger]

16. I feel terrible for young ladies who have to wade through the single scene, vetting

out these nuts. First, these boys probably won't be honest about their political leanings and second, more than a few young girls are probably going to face pregnancy and have to fear being turned in by these nutcases.

[vercetti2021]

18. Remember

A lot of women ratted these jerk offs out to the FBI because they bragged about it on dating apps lol

[paleotn]

24. Good things is, there aren't that many of them.

[oldsoftie]

27. I dont think they hide it; on their vehicle, hat, t-shirt, FB posts, etc.

[Baitball Blogger]

31. Could have sworn that some of them were using handkerchiefs

to cover their face bandit style. Some used ski face masks.

[oldsoftie]

39. I mean in their everyday living. Shouldn't take long to find out what they believe.

[Alexander Of Assyria]

40. No need! Free speech in A,Erica allows to to openly plan a coup! We just witnessed it!

and they doing it again, and again nothing can be done! Free speech!

How you liking it now, unfettered??

[oldsoftie]

42. I was responding to a post about young women being able to tell what mindset men have

I'm saying that these trumpers are generally NOT hiding what they think.

[vercetti2021]

17. Be careful

Liberals and LGBTQ people are armed too assholes

[Irish_Dem]

19. They live a life of privilege and comfort and want to burn it all down.

Many people in the world would love to live in the US.

And these young people want to destroy it.

[zuul]

20. Butt Plug Marge is just itching for violence.

What a sick fuck.

[mwooldri]

21. Sound more like Total Whine to me. NT

[DFW]

25. Gee, where HAVE I heard that before? Oh, yeah. Feb. 18, 1943. Starting at about 1:41 here........

[Initech]

28. The GOP now has an ISIS problem on its' hands. And it's their own fault.

[CitizenZero]

29. Civil War

When someone tells you who they are, you should believe them. If these Fascists say that they want a Civil War, we should take their word for it. We need an armed Counter-Insurgency Force should these nitwits actually take up arms. We also need to ensure that our Law Enforcement, National Guard, and Military are free of Fascists, since those all would be in the front lines if there were an actual armed Civil Conflict. Right now we are in a low grade Civil Conflict, but it could escalate and we should be prepared for it.

[hadEnuf]

47. You are absolutely correct. We need to take them quite seriously.

Also, the propaganda raping of the 1st Amendment isn't going to stop or just go away. The hate, lies and misinformation flooding the airwaves needs to be stopped or countered in a big way. Unfortunately, these propaganda outlets have had decades to take root, but some sort of effort would be good.

[The Grand Illuminist]

67. It is time to go on the offense.

I am tired of seeing the Democratic establishment and such always on the defensive with constant wrestling promos that would get them a job at WWE. True action is needed.

[BidenRocks]

30. Sorry to say, but,

This is what you get when you don't show the victims.
With permission, show the kids with their heads blown off.
Maybe they won't be so quick to play dangerous games!
Show them the consequences and see if they want that to happen to their family.
Everyone has weapons, assholes.

[Warpy]

33. Well, just don't expect them to be the ones who are fighting that war

because you can bet they all see themselves as its generals, sitting safely in bunkers, dining on prime rib followed by cigars and brandy like Churchill did, ordering the rest of us onto battlefields of their design.

I know the type all too well, I remember them on the far left, dreaming about their own type of revolution that would put them into the catbird seat of some nebulously socialist paradise that the rest of us would create for them. The few of those dickheads that I've bothered to look up are now GOP honchos, how predictable is that?

So spare me all these barely post adolescent and angry young white males who want to recreate the whole world in their own inchoate image. They've always been with us and the only good thing about them is that they always fail, mostly because they're loath to do any of the hard work or hard thinking, themselves.

I'm too fucking old and worldly wise to be particularly impressed.

[GenThePerservering]

34. Oh, Butt-Plug living her best life!

She's *so* excited! Talkin' tough! Calling up that sweaty tacticool male base that so excites her! People are watching her! And paying way more attention than we need to.

Keep the thumb squarely on her, but don't amplify.

[EarthFirst]

36. Gettin' real close to fuck their 1st Amendment protections...

The shit they’re calling for is everything that goes against a Constitutionally protected democratic society; so why the fuck should they be able to hide behind it?

This is some awfully dangerous shit that needs to be quelled immediately…

[Alexander Of Assyria]

44. I agree, but how? Openly supporting a failed coup probably can't arrest, sad as that is.

Openly supporting the next coup attempt, what’s the holdup?

First amendment is supposed to be a shield, not a cloak for a sword.

Arrest someone for conspiracy to commit sedition, and test the limits of the First!?

[hadEnuf]

48. +1000

n/t

[housecat]

37. We should encourage these nitwits to fight with each other. We all need a good laugh

[AllaN01Bear]

46. wanna face the national gaurd and or the us army ? good luck with that .

[jmowreader]

50. I've seen a picture of this Wax guy

He looks like someone who would cut and run if someone gave him a Ham Omelet MRE. These guys who claim they want “total war” would shit themselves if there was one.

Know how I know? Look at the pandemic. Half the Republicans in America dream of “SHTF” - shit hitting the fan. It’s like the collapse of society is all they dream about. And then when it did, what happened? We don’t wanna wear a mask. We don’t wanna get a shot. We’re gonna sue because church isn’t open. We’re gonna sue because the gun store is only open one day a week. We can’t do this. We can’t do that. We can only buy one pack of toilet paper at a time. The pandemic should have been their finest hour, but they acted like little boys pissed off that they have to let Johnny play with the fire truck now.

[Permanut]

51. Future Brown shirts .

[jmbar2]

52. Have any of them actually said what future they envision?

Right now there is some sort of market for crazy talkers.

The absence of some sort of vision or goals for their takeover plans makes me think that they are all competing for a spot in the crazy talk market, and not much else.

I don't know how big that market is, but it's getting pretty crowded with competitors.

[Crowman2009]

53. More like young rapists club!

Given their leanings towards banning all abortion & contraception, and the fact that a lot of their alt-right idols on social media are rape advocates. They wonder why the vast majority of women on college campuses avoid them like a plague.

[Kablooie]

55. Mark my words... She will be running for president.

I’m convinced that she has presidential ambitions.
The fact that she is an ignorant buffoon who knows nothing about government will give her a big boost among the base. The more ignorant you are, the higher you rise in their estimation.

[DFW]

56. They echo the man who made the phrase "total war" famous. Maybe they will follow in his footsteps.

Around 1:40, the Young Republicans get their main inspiration:

[onetexan]

58. Buncha misfits

[niyad]

59. hey, traitor greene, you fascist idiot, those insurrectionists WERE armed. Guns.

Knives. Flag poles. Bear spray.

[Roisin Ni Fiachra]

60. Only when they are bleeding out in the street from bullet wounds

will they realize, too late, that that real war is very, very different from playing video games in mom's basement.

[The Jungle 1]

61. Fascist idiots.

These pukes are out numbered and out gunned. Do you know how fast an Apache will take out yer mom's basement. You won't even see it, they will pop up shoot and pop down. Up, Down, Bang!
Do the addition stupid.

[IronLionZion]

62. No political agenda so it's not terrorism

I hope someone comes along to use the mental illness excuse for why none of this is terrorism. There is one demographic of person in America highly prone to mental illness while the other demographics are terrorists and criminals.

[Otterdaemmerung]

63. My gay marriage is older than these twerps.

[IronLionZion]

64. Welcome to DU!

[The Grand Illuminist]

66. Get them before they get you, by every and all means.

nt

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

68. Ok, those photos might show Republicans, but ...

... but meybe they should call themselves "used-to-be-young Republicans", or "young-in-my-mind Republicans".

I would have pictured Young Republicans as being sort of, well, young.
