The Young Republican National Federation is in hot water after a leaked group chat revealed messages so ugly, they barely seem real, racial slurs, degrading holocaust references, and a level of casual hate that should stop anyone in their tracks.
But this episode isn’t about the filth they said. It’s about the people defending it.
The ones calling it “a joke,” “taken out of context,” or “kids being kids.” ( these are grown adults, knowing good and well what they are saying, BTW)
Why do people rush to protect the indefensible? What energy drives someone to excuse what they know is wrong?
Remember, for entertainment purposes only.
Also, the YRNF came out and issued a statement condemning the members that did this and asking them to resign, at least there is that.
In this Tarot Brief, we look at the deeper patterns behind denial, loyalty, and the need to belong, and how easily those instincts can turn into moral blindness.
Tarot Brief – Because sometimes the news just isn’t enough.

Hi, I'm Cindy, and this is tero brief. The short readings,

and see what the cards reveal about the stories everyone's
talking about now. On the headline, the Young Republicans National Federation. Yes,
the GOP is fifteen thousand member organization for Republicans age
(00:21):
eighteen to forty is in deep water after Politico leaked
a group chat yesterday. That's nothing short of vile, the
kind of stuff that if I said here, would drag
this channel even further into the abyss than it already is.
That's thanks to the topics that I cover. And just
to give you a little taste of what they said,
there were racial slurs, people being called to monkeys, and
(00:45):
the occasional reference to Hitler and the chambers he used.
That's the level of vile that we're talking about. But
this isn't about the field that they said, No, this
is about the people rushing to defend it. Instead of
condemning the behavior, they're offering grace. People like Matt Walsh
claiming the messages we're taking out of context and Stephen
(01:09):
Crowder brushing it off with they're just kids and calling
it a nothing story. And they're not alone. Several others
are taking the same stance, the kind of stance that
if the roles were reversed, would have them absolutely losing
their minds. And that, my friends, is why returning to
the cards today, what's the energy behind defending the indefensible?
(01:34):
So I pulled three cards in the Past, Present, and
future spread and this is what the cards revealed. The
Queen of Swords upright comes first. She's sharp, she's intelligent,
and she's logical. This card represents clear thinking and communication,
but also emotional distance. In this position, it suggests that
some of the people speaking out in defense might believe
(01:55):
that they're being rational, that they're the voice of reason
in the chaos, and they may see themselves as standing
for free speech or fairness. But that rational stance can
sometimes lack empathy. It's a reminder that intellect without heart
can quickly become cold justification. Then we move on to
the Night of Cups upright, and this changes the tone.
(02:17):
The Night of Cups is emotional, idealistic, and sometimes swept
up in causes or feelings. It's the energy of someone
who wants to believe in the good and who romanticizes
ideas and people. In this context, it feels like some
defenders are driven by loyalty or emotional attachment, not necessarily
by agreement, but an instinct to protect someone they care
(02:41):
or admire. It's less about the message and more about
the feelings of allegiance and finally, the devil upright, that's
where it gets heavy. The devil represents attachment, denial, and
the illusion that keep people stuck. It's the energy of
unhealthy loyalty of defending some slighting that may be harmful
(03:02):
because it's tied to one's identity, pride, or fear of
being wrong. The cards suggest that what started as reason
the Queen of Swords and emotion the Knight of Cups,
can slide into entanglement, where people double down even when
they know the truth doesn't line up with their stance. Altogether,
(03:24):
these cards paint a clear, energetic picture a first, there's logic,
a defense that seems fair minded to them, crying out
free speech. Then emotion people wanting to feel their standing
on the right side. But finally attachment, the unwillingness to
let go of a story they've built, even when it
becomes toxic. They can never ever ever say they're wrong.
(03:49):
And it's not so much about the specific people or
the statements. It's also about what happens when pride, identity,
and emotion override accountability. So what's the message here? The
cards aren't judging, they're simply showing the pattern. It's a
caution against mistaking loyalty for integrity or intellect for truth.
(04:13):
When the devil shows up at the end of the
reading like this, it's a call to awareness to step back,
untangle from the emotional charge and ask, am I defending
what's right? Or am I just afraid to admit I'm wrong?
Because awareness is what breaks the chain, and that's where
(04:34):
real freedom begins. This has been terra brief where the
headlines meet the cards, and until next time, I'm Cindy
reminding you that the truth always finds its way out,
one shovel at a time. I'll see you in the
next one.
