For a while now, I’ve been trying to figure out who Zohran Mamdani reminds me of.
Mamdani, a self-proclaimed democratic socialist, just won the Democratic mayoral primary in New York City, running on a platform that would make Karl Marx beam with pride
Was it Fidel Castro he brought to mind — the socialist-turned-communist who transformed Cuba’s once-bustling economy into a cautionary tale? Or maybe Hugo Chávez — the man whose brand of socialism sent Venezuela’s economy off a cliff?
SNIP
And then it hit me: Zohran Mamdani reminds me of President Trump.
Yes, that Trump — the same one who has labeled Mamdani a “total nut job.” But what could a capitalist like Trump and a socialist like Mamdani possibly have in common, you reasonably ask? Stay with me for a second.
For starters, Mamdani is channeling the very same discontent Trump tapped into on his way to the White House. Both appeal to voters who are sick and tired of falling behind. Both understand the gut-punch of watching paychecks lag the rising cost of food, rent and just plain living. Both present themselves as outsiders who “get it” when nobody else does.

Thank you very much and God bless you.
The Hill
WTF? I thought Bernard Goldberg had woke up and smelled conservatism and rejected orthodox liberal thought. But this is some major hallucination.
Bernie, you ignorant commie slut.
[Trump is a big spender though.]
Where the BARF alert.
They’re mentally ill enough that I don’t think they even need lsd anymore. It reminds just before the 2024 election some idiot was predicting Kamala winning something like 400 electoral votes. She was going to squeak out wins in Texas and Florida and a few other red states and of course all the battlegrounds. That Iowa poll must have pushed them over the edge.
The DungHill.
Enough said
This is the most ill-thought out, shallow, written piece of trash I’ve seen for a long while. He takes a surface similarity and then jumps off a cliff with a non-sequitur. He may as well start with “Both are male...” and jump to whatever shallow point he says follows that. This is just plain stupid.
Right! Everything he says about President Trump is “according to Democrats”, in another word...claptrap.
