New York State will probably go red at some point in the next twenty years. It’s got an incredibly rare combination of some of the wealthiest capitalists in the country living in the same electorate as some of the poorest and most disillusioned. People forget that Trump was born, raised, and became wealthy in this state. That it has one of the most overfunded police departments on the planet. This kind of rhetoric would be expected from someone like desantis, but instead it’s coming from New York. Crazy.
Its not that shocking. After all New York had Pataki as state governor and Guilliani as mayor in NYC in the mid 90s to early 00s with . Bloomberg later, who was initially a Republican, but then became "independent". Adams himself was a registered Republican for most of his life. There's also the IDC Dems, who often vote with Republicans and torpedo progressive legislation.
Also the Dem prez came out as pro-virus and anti-vulnerable years ago, giving permission for all kind of fuck shit in the meantime
NYC voters are cursed. Makes me lose faith in humanity.
Bill fucking De Blasio was the closest they’ve had to an upstanding mayor since LaGuardia lmao
