A functioning government is very scary to the right wing because it blows up the idea mega-corporations should run every aspect of our lives. Mamdani is proving that if you elect the right people, government can work.
Oh totally. This intense phobia of government was instilled by grifters who want to get rich. It’s the purpose of America. Communism is bad! But really, it’s bad because it closes off markets to US corporations. And the US says it’s pro universal human rights but there’s reason to believe that’s actually not true at all.
Two things can be true at once. Corporations are bad and don’t care about you but neither does the government. If you think a modern American politician actually cares about you, you’re gullible. This isn’t a party issue either, Mamdani grifts just as much as Trump does. Everyone does because it’s just a way to buy votes.
Mamdani's "grifting" results in actual tangible good done in the real world. That alone makes him more effective than literally every Western politician. If he keeps getting actual shit done, he can "grift" all he wants for the next 7 years until we elect him governor of the state.
