College Republicans Scold Nationalists: ‘You Are NOT Conservatives…You Have NO Place In Our Party!’

Two College Republican chapters in the state of California recently had a spat over Twitter that illustrates the divide between “America First” nationalists and milquetoast defenders of the status quo within the GOP fold.

It started after the San Diego State College Republicans (SDSCRs) called for a nationalist GOP that focuses around putting America first rather than satisfying Washington D.C. thinktanks and privileged special interest groups.

This comment caught the ire of the Stanford College Republicans (SCRs) who claimed that nationalism in the conservative movement is evil and must be rooted out.

The SDSCRs retorted that the libertarian ethos of the Republican Party has left the nation in shambles.

The SCRs fired back with a defense of the status quo that has reigned within GOP politics for decades.

The SDSCRs clarified the record regarding Reagan’s real record aside from the myth-making and revisionism from the Republican Party establishment.

This caused the SCRs to become extremely triggered and basically call the SDSCRs racist and call for them to be ejected from the Republican fold. So much for the free exchange of ideas!

The SCRs continued to dig their own graves by issuing a tweet in support of mass immigration by claiming without providing any evidence that Hispanics are “culturally conservative.”

Meanwhile, back in reality, Hispanics are shown by every poll to support the big government that the Conservative Inc. types claim they hate:

Pew Research released some interesting statistics highlighting Latino voters’ views on national political problems based on a survey they conducted on Latino adults this past December.

Record numbers of Latinos — 32 million — will be voting in the 2020 general election. This exceeds the number of eligible black voters for the first time in history.

According to the results, the majority of Hispanic voters favor more government involvement on issues ranging from minimum wage to gun control.

62 percent of registered voters identify or lean toward the Democrat Party, whereas 34 percent connect with or lean in the direction of the Republican Party.

Several key findings stood out:

Most Hispanic voters (71%) say the government should do more to solve problems, while 27% say government is doing too many things better left to businesses and individuals.

The findings by Jens Manuel Krogstad, Mark Hugo Lopez and Abby Budiman revealed that 82 percent of Hispanics who identify with or lean Democrat “say the government should do more to solve problems, compared with 51% of those who affiliate with or lean toward the GOP.”

As far as minimum wage is concerned, the three authors found some interesting results

On the minimum wage, a large majority of Hispanic voters (79%) say they favor raising it to $15 an hour, including more than half (56%) who say they strongly favor this change. Majorities in both parties favor raising the minimum wage, though Hispanic Democrats are much more likely than Hispanic Republicans to do so (88% vs. 62%, respectively).

The same Hispanic support for big government held true for healthcare which the authors noted below:

Hispanic voters generally believe the U.S. government should play a role in providing health care to Americans. About seven-in-ten (71%) say it is the federal government’s responsibility to make sure all Americans have health care coverage, including 38% who favor a national health insurance system and 32% who prefer a mix of private and government health care coverage. Around a quarter (28%) say it is not the government’s responsibility to make sure all Americans have health care coverage, though most in this group say they prefer to keep Medicare and Medicaid.

The Stanford College Republicans are advocating for policies that will lead to the death of America. “America First” insurgents, like those with the San Diego State College Republicans, are the only hope to save the GOP from destroying the country.
