When you voted for Mamdani and wanted to celebrate his inauguration the right way:

Yes, as you can see, a massive crowd gathered near the Brooklyn Bridge on Wednesday night in anticipation of a fireworks show that never happened. And when midnight rolled around it got very awkward.

Essentially, TikTok rumors caused the confusion. Also, as an excuse, people said a lack of communication from authorities was part of the confusion -- authorities never said there were fireworks there because there weren't going to be fireworks there.

To be fair, there are fireworks on display at the Brooklyn Bridge on Independence Day, but this was New Year's.

Well, now that these New Yorkers have been disappointed by a lack of delivery on New Year's, they'll be perfectly fine when Mamdani fails to deliver on all of his promises.

Tik Tok mush heads have quit thinking for themselves. Same is true for other similar platforms...If it’s on the internet it must be true.

Zero respect for anyone who wouldn’t go to an official source but instead listen to what their dumbass friends or total strangers told them.

Just keep feeding Mamdani’s prolatariat more TicToc rumors until they go berserk and start destroying the city. Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals, right?

Make an announcement, get them in one place and then deploy his Mutawa. Hope there’s lots of video taken.

Maybe the tick tockers can line up and single file off the bridge. Just like normal lemmings.
