'It's revolting': More Young Republican chat members out of jobs as condemnation intensifies

34. The young ones just haven't developed filters.

I think we can be pretty sure that the same epithets and sentiments are bandied about in private conversations among older GOPers; they just have managed to erect filters that prevent them from saying such things in public or posting them on internet message boards. The younger ones, who have grown up with the internet, are used to its being their primary means of communication, and haven't figured out that the internet is forever and that anything they post is out there for discovery. I recall incidents years ago where some politician or public figure got in trouble for an off-color or racist joke or comment spoken in private but overheard and reported, or picked up by a hot mic.

Anybody remember Earl Butz, a Secretary of Agriculture during the '70s? He was forced to resign on account of remarks he made, which were so over-the-top awful that I won't quote them here, but they're at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earl_Butz if you want to look them up. I'll bet the "grownup" GOPers say the same kind of things all the time these days, but they'd never have to resign because now it's the norm.
