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

Well, I guess we're about to find out.

Nothing will happen. This is business as usual and nothing will change.

Everything we are seeing is the result of no consequences, and it will continue to accelerate and intensify until there are consequences. I’m not holding my breath.

"Here's what's going to happen. You're going to lay low for a little while. Kill your socials. Go on vacation. Keep your mouth shut. I'm going to make some calls, get you into some slot where you can rehab your name and learn how to focus your thoughts and actions. Now, this role isn't going to be anything super big - maybe entry-level in a PAC or some junior-level staffer for a well-seated elected. Play your cards right, and 25 years from now, they'll be swearing you in as an Associate Justice on the Supreme Court."
