I think RWers are going to have as much success making Mamdani the Boogeyman as they've had with AOC

Both are very social media savvy. Different time. Different Era. Sure the MAGAnuts and Fox News Zombies will lap it up, but I don't think the boogeyman thing is going to be as successful. Furthermore, whether or not he can deliver on things he wants to do, its gonna be hard to make the guy saying he wants to make things affordable the boogeyman when people are seriously having trouble affording things. Contrast that to trump and his gilded ballroom, musk with his chainsaw cutting jobs and programs.
People have visual cues to turn to. So nope, not gonna work. I don't think he can be Hillaried.

Can give a shit whether a candidate is not white and not Christian. In the land of the free. Holy Cow we have a constitution the envy of the free world. diversity makes us great. We should not be monolythically stupid.

Pretty neat word I made up huh?

Grandchild of four immigrant grandparents fleeing poverty and oppression.
Their children and grandchildren lived the American dream.

Most of us working to make America the greatest country in the world.
And to be of service to our fellow Americans.

Doctors, nurses, engineers, scientists, police, military, teachers, etc.

We thanked God our grandparents got us to this country.
And appreciated our lives here.

We were born free and the world was open to us.
We never forgot that.
