Mayhem Under Mamdani 

Political newbie ZohranMamdani has found himself in too deep by promising too much to the Leftists whosereputation proceeds them with respect to street agitation.

There is always a gap between acandidate’s campaign spiel and the realpolitik once the candidateis elected. It’s akin to the retail and hospitality industries which rely on “puffery”to promote their products & services as “the best” or “elite” – animpossible to prove qualitative statement. Political candidates’ campaignpromises are never taken at face value. Rather, their campaign proposals identifytheir priorities in mitigating issues once elected. 

In the case of Mamdani’sproposals, none are economically achievable and represent the antithesis of theAmerican, particularly the New York City, way of life and personal security.

Perfect Poster Kid

Mamdani is the Leftists’ perfectposter kid candidate: young, non-white, non-Christian, immigrant, accent-lessfluency in English from an immigrant wealthy of South Asian descent fromUganda, who has turned his efforts to government service instead of ahigh-paying corporate job even without work experience.

Furthermore, he lives in Queens,the most culturally, racially, ethnically and religiously diverse borough with themost foreign-born citizens in NYC.

His candidacy, which he and hisego readily accepted, is the front man for the Left. His mission: to “liberate”NYC from the so-called tyranny of Trumpism.

Icarus: Coming Down to Earth

Mamdani has risen tounsustainable political heights thanks to heavily biased, accommodating andsupportive mainstream media that has done a masterful job at minimizing, even whitewashingMamdani’s anti-American connections and ignoring his failure to condemn terrorism,particularly 9/11, a NYC-specific tragedy. 

Win or lose, because Mamdani hasnever worked in any real job rife with viper pit ferocious office politics, theinevitable blowback and fall will be crushing.

The regular day-to-dayvicissitudes of political office will quickly overwhelm him psychologically nomatter how well he delegates.

A poignant quote from theInstagram content creator @LifeChangingGuide that describes his growing predicamentis, “Leadership sounds good until responsibility shows up.”

Leadership positions supported bythe Leftists are a double-edge sword. Recent examples are ex-president JoeBiden, ex vice president Kamala Harris and billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk,all of whom suffered their wrath when either events went sideways or they wentoff-script.

The Leftists tend to go “all in”without a Plan B. This is why their default damage control consists ofhyper-aggressive rousing rallies and ridiculous rhetoric.

Win or Lose – Civil Unrest 

The Leftists’ proclivity forviolence, win or lose, will be on full display by this time next week.

For this reason, NYC retailersand other small businesses may provide relief for the moribund lumber businessby dusting off the playbook by physically “hardening” their brick & mortarestablishments while reviewing their insurance coverage and security protocols.

Win or lose, the Leftists will“celebrate” the only way they know how – with destruction.

PYRRHIC VICTORY

Should Mamdani win the NYCmayoral election, the initial post-election celebrations will be short-lived. Shortlyafterwards, President Trump may officially state that critical operationalfunding for NY State and NYC will be withheld because of Mamdani’s radicalsocialist policy proposals.

Pushing the Leftists over theedge may be Trump’s announcement to use the National Guard should street disturbancesreach dangerous levels. This would trigger a vicious cycle of urban mayhem withAntifa lurking in the shadows as the accelerant. 

Leftists will ditch thedemocratic process to achieve their societal Nirvana especially since NYCrepresents their “crown jewel”.

Brutal Betrayal Blowback

Should Mamdani win the NYCmayoral election, he must be aware that if he doesn’t deliver on his promises oreven makes compromises, the Leftists will turn on him without mercy as they didElon Musk.

According to Leftist rhetoric, Muskwas one of their saviors to “save the planet” with his prodigious production ofEVs. When Musk teamed up with President Trump, suddenly his environmentallyfriendly vehicles and showrooms were targets for destruction anddemonstrations, respectively.

Moderation is not in theLeftists’ vocabulary because their binary world perspective demands blindobedience.

THE UNFATHOMABLE LOSS

A Mamdani defeat would be acritical blow to the Leftists, losing the opportunity to gain a politicalanchor and launchpad in the world’s financial capital as the mid-terms loom in2026 and the presidential elections just over the horizon in 2028.

This means that theaforementioned urban mayhem will be intense as accusations of election riggingspill over into mass protests with the potential for violence.

Mamdani: A Leader Hostage toFollowership

In no way is all this to implythat Mamdani is directly or indirectly doing anything immoral or illegal toagitate his followers.

In fact, he probably realizesthat, according to the flawed polls statistics identifying him as thefrontrunner, he’s in an unenviable lose-lose position.

He is merely the figurehead forthe Leftists’ credo that “whatever it takes” is legal, ethical and mostimportantly moral, and whose actions will not be condoned.

Mamdani finds himself as ahostage of followership, in which the tail wags the dog. The mob takes the leadand he follows by tacitly by approving their actions after the fact.

From Mamdani’s personalperspective, his dilemma is: How will he disassociate himself from theinevitable violent clashes? His campaign rhetoric and in-person associationswith anti-American characters, both foreign and domestic, seems to fit theLeftist narrative. Regardless, the mayhem will occur under his watch, not underhis orders.

CONCLUSIONS & TAKEAWAYS

Brace for Impact

A Mamdani win could trigger acascade of the erosion of the NYC tax base, flight of corporations,non-financial employers, the wealthy and diminishing middle-class, andeventually the financial downfall of NYC.

For this reason, this economicdestruction will not bode well for the Democrats who strive to retake the WhiteHouse in 2028. Such an economic collapse would be the hard-proof harbinger ofAmerica’s economic future under similar Leftist proposed policies. A failedcity foreshadows a failed state.

An Andrew Cuomo or even Curtis Sliwavictory represent the last political centurions against Leftist extremism.However, this might be merely a 4-year stop-gap. Although both are intellectuallysharp in their 60s, sufficient room to serve two terms, the American political landscapemay not be welcoming to them 4 years from now, depending on the results afterthe presidential election in 2028.

Sliwa is the best hope as abulwark against socialism/communism and corruption, yet ranks # 3 in every (so-called)poll. He’s the last man, perhaps the last of the generational line of leaderwho has always been an unflinchingly staunch hands-on protector of the salt ofthe earth New Yorkers.
