Leaders of Young Republican groups throughout the country worried what would happen if their Telegram chat ever got leaked, but they kept typing anyway.

Edit: removed 'nsfw' tag as suggested, for better exposure

Archived just in case:

So they know objectively that what they are saying is SO wrong that they would be “cooked” if anyone outside the chat saw the messages. But they were enjoying themselves SO MUCH, presumably because they believe that these sentiments are SO right, that they kept doing it anyway. And they think they are the best qualified people to lead others in any capacity. How am I doing?
