Misunderstanding Mamdani
American Thinker ^ | Gene Schwimmer

Posted on 10/21/2025 1:42:44 AM PDT by RoosterRedux

Conservative New York City residents (yes, they do exist), contemplating the ascension of 33-year-old, never-held-a-private-sector-job, intifada-globalizing red diaper baby socialist Zohran Mamdani to the mayoralty of one of the world’s great, and some may say greatest, cities may be wondering whether the Big Apple’s prospects could get any worse.

Let me assure you: They can. And, very likely, will.

...

Of the seven mayors who governed (or should that be tried to govern) through my New York years, Rudy Giuliani was the best by far. Armed with a strong law enforcement background; a great police commissioner, William Bratton; and a novel Broken Windows Theory, Giuliani worked a virtual miracle in transforming New York City from decrepit to dynamic. In Times Square, gone were the topless bars, the three-card-monte con men, the peep shows, the porno theaters. In their place, some of the nation’s major restaurant and retailers. Aging subways cars festooned with graffiti were replaced with shiny graffiti-less modern ones. The squeegee men were banished. Mentally disturbed and violent vagrants were taken off the streets and taken to facilities where they could get the help they needed.

One would think that after the transformation Giuliani achieved and Bloomberg continued, it would be a long time before New Yorkers would elect a liberal Democrat mayor. Sadly, one would be wrong. The voters of New York “reverted to type” and elected not just another Democrat, but the most left-wing Democrat ever: Bill de Blasio. Twice.

...

To understand why this is so, one needs to understand how the left views socialism, an economic system born in Karl Marx’s mind that never existed in the real world, as many socialists all but openly admit with their fallback position after every failed experiment, that “real communism/socialism hasn’t been tried.”

The problem with Mamdani isn't just that he's a Marxist of course. It's that he's using Marxism to usher in his real dream—Mohammedism.

The big money will leave and take with it the people attached to it, but many, many people will not leave because they cannot afford to. And I think Mamdani will introduce Sharia as an answer to the hell that NYC will become.

Everybody thinks people will flee NY if Mamdani wins. I seriously doubt it. They stuck around with de Blasio and they will do so with this next leftist idiot.

Its looking more likely that he will win. I hope NY gets it good and hard. They will have deserved it.

Mamdami is doing what Yassir AraFART did in 1963.

CCCP Marxism (evil) X Secular Islamic PLO (ruthless) = Mayhem, murder, butchery, rape, mutilation, death...

but it will take Mamdani some time to achieve that end goal.

It's Obama Syndrome. And it defines democrat voters - seemingly normal people who routinely vote for abnormal outcomes.

We see it in Chicago as well - 40,000+ people murdered in the last 60 years, and people there think "that's normal. Not just the way it is, but the way it should be."

NYC and NY State get what they deserve along with any blue state and city.

The left is completely insane in everything they think, say and do. Liberalism truly is a mental disease that infects the hosts brain and removes all rational thought.

If the right ever gets a large majority in Congress they need to pass a law that criminalizes socialism and communism as a federal law punishable by death. You’d think America would already have one.

Isn't it fascinating that only now, on the verge of electing an outright communist, the Uniparty has their come to Jesus moment? Even Andrew Cuomo is sounding like an American again.

After the 17th Amnedment changed the US from the original intent of a Repuplic.

After the Social Security ponzi scheme.

After the New Deal and Great Society ushered in Negro enslavement again.

After the Federalization of Education assured Howard Zinn texts would brainwash generations into hating their own country.

After industrial strength baby killing has robbed us of 75 million citizens.

After the queering of America has left us with children believing they could swap sexes in the name of affirming care.

After sleepwalking through all religions being infiltrated and gifted with children diddling.

After regulating and strangling businesses because of a climate hoax.

After locking people out of society and forcing sketchy jabs into evrrybody.

After a sponsered illegal immigrant invasion.

After an autopen running the country for 4 years.

After the whole of the media becoming tools of the State.

Spare me the crocodiles tears. Unless every Democrat and Rino squish come out with a collective I am sorry to America, I am not buying the manipulation anymore. You have brought us to the prepice and committed one last shove by coddling Islam as an actual religion in America. Time to pay the piper.

Have a nice day.

The city where 3000 people were murdered by radical Islamic terrorists is about to elect a radical Islamic terrorist as Mayor.

Democrats are truly effed in the head.

And that big grin of Mamdani? He’s laughing at New Yorkers for being so effing stupid as to elect him.

Yep, he’s the definition of someone who smiles while he stabs someone in the back, the guy is an ultra dickhead which seems to be a major requirement for getting electing in the a-hole capital of the world. I grew up in NYC and left 15 years ago, sooooooooo damn glad I did!!!!

Now they're pressuring the hell out of Sliwa so he drops out to help the other dickhead win, Cuomo. Sliwa should tell them to drop dead, if Cuomo loses and Madcommie wins, it ain't Sliwas fault, it's the stupid voters and they'll deserve every last bit of hell coming their stupid way.

Too many words to describe a murderous psychopath.

I’m a former New Yawker myself (spent most of my career there). I sure hate to see what’s about to happen to it.

“And that big grin of Mamdani?”

I think a smile is built in for him — his basic resting bitch face. In front of the cameras, he exaggerates it, adding teeth and scrunching his eyes.
