Oh, please.
Social media research shows that engagement is highest when people are peeved, angry, or afraid.
This perl-clutching over NYC is a case in point.
America does NOT go as Gotham goes. Nor Virginia. Nor New Jersey.
Parenthetically, the other candidates were awful. Five years ago, Cuomo was killing grandparents during COVID. Did we REALLY want him in a seat of power? And Curtis is just a clown. The only informative part of this election is that Tammany Hall is run by the youngsters now.
We will see an endless stream of agitprop from GP, American Thunker, and other “conservative” bottom feeding alternative media designed to make you wet your pants with fear. Don’t take the bait, kids.
Remember DeBlasio? He sucked. And NY will suck a little more under this loser.
However, until global firms in the arenas of finance, advertising, media, real estate, and the arts pull out of Manhattan, New York won’t crater.
Furthermore, this guy’s election - with about 40% voter turnout - does not mean a wave of socialist leaders is coming to a town near you.
Now, of course, prudence dictates that we should be watchful.
But mark my words: the ensuing avalanche of conservative fear-pr0n is geared to generate clicks, keep you locked up mentally, and soften you for getting blindsided by some REAL action on the horizon.
Think for yourself. Democrats and leftist losers winning elections in NJ, NYC, and VA is simply a reminder that the sky is blue.

I did a quick search, but everything election is ABCCBSNBCCNN.
I had seen some exit poll data that MadmanI received most of his votes from people that have been in the US less than 5 years. The same thing happened in Minneapolis.
Biden’s refugee resettlement plan was a smashing success.

I respectfully disagree. And one more thing, I am not afraid.
More capital will flow into Texas, but the New Yorkers won’t be sufficient in numbers to change the political landscape here.
