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

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.
