Good question. Resting on laurels, perhaps?
The Mamdani win, though, was made possible by anti-Trump sentiment that is more significant than we might want to believe. Leftist have shifted to high gear, and are getting many, many people to join them. They are quite literally on the warpath, killing or trying to kill people, and this is to some irresistible; the same warped mass-psychosis that led them to demand ‘anti-vaxers’ be shipped off to concentration camps. Many people, the younger generation in particular, are also feeling hopeless in a world in which the middle class dream has vaporized. They’re angry, and *quite* motivated.
We don’t pile on when we got em’ on the run. We just don’t. The left lives for this. Too many will just let Trump deal with it. There’s gonna be a big vacuum when he’s gone. Who’s gonna fill it?
