MAGAs Are Freaking Out About The One Mayor They Now Know — Mamdani
They hardly know any other mayors
It’s almost day two after the fact, and MAGAs are still busy pretending that it’s hard to pronounce the word ‘Mamdani’ because it’s one of those tried and true techniques of getting away with being intentionally passive-aggressive.
They hate the fact that he’s brown and a muslim, and they are going to punish him for it, precisely because they don’t see color. They’re also trying to discount him for being born in Africa, too, the same place Elon was born, because it makes that much sense.
Given just how involved MAGAs are in New York Politics right now, you’d be damned to think they know the names of more than five Mayors in the United States. The reason MAGAs wouldn’t typically have this information is because their one job in the movement is not to know — Their one job is to get caught by surprise by everything that matters.
So, how will Mamdani’s Islamic caliphate, which is now New York City, affect their way of life in rural Alabama, for example?
For starters all New Yorkers have not been forced to convert to Islam and don’t have to pray a bunch of times a day
Abortions are still not illegal, although the free childcare that comes wrapped inside the Chanel baby baskets is really attractive to a lot of women who are considering starting a family.
