A little harder to sneer at London's folly is it not? At least in some "we're smarter culture" sense.

It remains valid to ridicule both examples as self-destructive insanity.

The crazy thing is that people looked at places like London, Los Angeles,, Paris, Portland, Seattle, Baltimore, and said "lets combine all these Bat S crazy policies in put them into place in the biggest and most important city in the world.

I wanted Mandami to win. Liberals need to feel pain. And on a personal level I want them to. And if you say "how can you wish pain on your fellow Americans" I'll straight up tell you that I dont recongize them as Americans anymore. I have noting in common with those people and look at them as the enemies of not only the country but humanity. They just put a lot of innocent people in extreme and immediate danger.

I just hope the bad policies start taking effect immediately while Trump is in office so he can deny them any help.

You have fallen for that foolish canard. The collapse of the ENTIRE Warsaw Pact, and even the SOVIET UNION Itself taught people nothing!!!

Why does this stupid notion persist? Mamdani won despite the example of California, Minnesota, whatever.

THEY NEVER LEARN BETTER. The entire MSM and Academia seems to have forgotten the Cold War. They don't even know Russia is no longer communist.

Sure is, comical to sit around and read all these doom and gloom posts about New York City. It's comical to think that after what everyone has witnessed what the machine does to someone that goes against the system that they actually think that a dweeb like this Mandami character is gonna be able to just turn the system upside down down without being ground up like hamburger meat. Manhattan went after Donald Trump with everything they had and he overcame them, but that's Donald Trump. If you actually think that this character Mandami has the wherewithal and the stamina to withstand all that will come after him, I got news for you, he'll collapse like a folding chair. He sold that chicken in every pot story to a bunch of idiot kids and people that have no clue but when it comes down to the big money and the machine, he doesn't stand a chance.

Nevermind the fact almost all of the campaign promises he made cannot be accomplished unilaterally by the mayoral office of NYC.

Agreed. And I'll continue to fight for Texas. I have 6 generations of this state in my blood and I beleive in what we were built on and why we're successful. Its worth fighting for. I just know that I don't have much in common with 60% of this country.

And the ones he can do, such as gutting the NYPD, will have very public and noticeable effects that cannot be hidden.

If he empties out all of NYC's jails as he has promised, it really will turn into Escape From NY.

I think you misunderstand the mandate. You can say he can't do stuff he says legally, but did that stop Seattle and Portland? The judiciary is already against common sense, so they'll do what they always do, ignore the laws, do it anyway, and tie these things up in court while the city turns into a hellscape. Use San Francisco and Portland as examples.

edit to say: thats why Ive all but lost hope. Like Titan said, Trump wasn't a change of the political direction in this country, he's just a speedbump. When he's gone this accelerates.

They will never learn. This new generation of socialists truly believe that the true perfect form of socialism has never been attempted. So we will most likely do this song and dance again and again each time with the same results.

The City of New York receives over $100 billion in federal money annually. We will see how long he lasts when that's in jeopardy

The collapse of the Soviet Union happened 34 years ago, meaning people younger than 45 have no real recollection of it. California started on its downhill slide in the 60's as did most of the other cities and states mentioned. Watching NYC go down in flames will be something all these white liberal women, millennials and college educated brainwashed urban and suburbanites can witness in real time. When it hits home and people see the economic impact and social impact all these communist/Marxist policies bring maybe a large enough group of them wake up and see the light. Or at least realize that conservatives and republicans are not the enemy they've been programmed to believe they are.

They are populist. Just like Trump.
Unlike Trump, Obama and Mamdani are destructive, because socialism and marxism are both highly destructive ideologies.

Isn't it ironic that it is the day (or after) part of the 43 admin passed away? All that in some ways a failure.

Should have been the event that united the civilized world; but the opportunity was in large part squandered by same.

I've said more than a few times, that one of the worst things that happened to this country was the fall of the Soviet Union.

Before that, there was a clear distinction between the two systems.

Capitalism vs. Socialism/Communism
Freedom vs. Total State Control
Freedom of Speech vs. State Mandated Speech
Freedom of Religion vs. State Mandated Atheism
Fair Elections vs. Elections everyone knew were a farce.
Equal Opportunity vs. State Mandated Equality of Misery (except for the elites)
Neighbors Helping Neighbors vs. Neighbors Spying on Neighbors
Freedom to Choose Your Path in Life vs. State Controlled Life

When it fell, that very clear and contrast disappeared.

This is why GenX is the most conservative generation right now. We grew up at the end of the Cold War, and we all remember Ronald Reagan.

It's trending away quickly from the "most important city in the world".

The problem is that for each "progressive" failure, they will just blame the Republicans, which has worked for them in the past and will work for them again.

Intriguing. You appear basically correct, and though it has been somewhat misread, Putin has made a similar argument. But he was referring to the relative stability the two checking the other did. He believed the attempt to make the non communist version of the Union survive would have been best. Its a different perspective argument, but the outcome is similar.

New Yorkers cannot be allowed to leave their state and move to any state from Texas to North Carolina, and all points in between.

Every effort should be made to pass laws making it impossible for them to buy property in other states like we try to do with the Chinese government now.

They want that rent control so bad. I can't believe people support rent control but nanny state idiots are going to nanny state

100%!!!

Some sniper in the 50's was asked how he could shoot another human. He said he didn't know. He only shot Communists.

Another sniper was asked what does he feel when he shoots the enemy. He replied: "Recoil".

The only good thing possibly is people are going to see exactly what the dems have become. The MSM will do their best to cast NYC in the best light possible.
Don't vacation there or spend money there if possible. There needs to be consequences.

The people that voted for this will always vote for this because they are not linear thinkers . The don't understand cause and effect. They are just blinded by the promise of free stuff.


I watched his victory speech last night. First I had really paid attention to him. He is a slick one. I had not felt a chill like that since Obama's 2004 keynote address. He has a vibe of the serpent in the Garden of Eden with all his pandering and promises. Watch out for this guy. He is going to wreck a lot of lives

Bill Ackman just asked how he can help Mamdani. LOL. Here is how Bill: send him a huge chunk of your wealth!

Also, why would you congratulate a commie for victory?!?!

Exactly.

They don't think beyond "rent freeze... Yay!"

OK, but what happens when all the stuff the landlord has to pay for related to your apartment goes up?

eta: the last time this happened, you started seeing burned up buildings. Light 'em on fire to collect the insurance since you lose money renting them.
