NYC: Begun, the Meme Wars Have

Even before New York City's body politic went cold, the Zohran Mamdani memes bloomed like flowers at a funeral. Because what's the bleak future of the greatest city in the world without a few laughs?

Let's take a look at some of the best of the best, starting — of course — with the New York Post. To anyone who thinks that the front page of a big-city tabloid isn't an internet meme, I say: think again. The NYP practically invented the meme, going back at least (at least!) as far as 1983 with this classic headline: "Headless Body in Topless Bar."

(That hed was courtesy of the late, great Vincent A. Musetto, who passed away in 2015.)

Anyway, here's today's Post:

Mamdani had a CASH BAR at his victory party. If you can’t get a free vodka from this guy something tells me the free food and buses ain’t coming. Congrats, suckers.

I’m just grateful that Florida and Texas will take the bulk of them.

“I’m just grateful that Florida and Texas will take the bulk of them.”

An interesting point about Californians that moved to Texas. In Ted Cruz’s last election more of them voted for Ted Cruz than his democratic opponent,
Beto O’Rourke, the fake Mexican but real pendejo.

They had left California because of Taxes and liberalism. We are trying hard to correct their accents and it is working.

By contrast Colorado had a great influx of people over many years before the West Coast became not just liberal but insanely liberal. It is a beautiful state. This group of years ago brought their liberal ideology with them and are slowly making Colorado into California. This is sad.
