Meanwhile Georgia has done the exact opposite. We have two dem senators because of the northeast and California invasions over the last 10 years that accelerated during COVID lockdowns.

Coming to any Dem managed City or State in short order if Marxist Dems win the Midterms and shut Trump policies down. They will strategically over promise and spend and crash the USD in order to effectuate Globalist DEI ideology via “The Great Reset” and control of Digital Money.

Sounds far fetched and muh conspiracy minded but Transnational Progressives are dead serious. They believe that they are saving Humanity and the Planet.

"With communists, expect communism."

LOL @ all the bougey hipsters in Brooklyn who voted to be taxed out of their property. Epic self-own, comrades.

Native New Yorkers (even the lib ones) did not vote for him

He was elected by foreigners, and I don’t think people truly understand how “foreign” NYC is. Especially Queens, but also Brooklyn, various neighborhoods in Manhattan, and the Bronx are pretty much foreign countries as well. But Queens is literally a foreign country.

Foreigners don’t care about anything except their own special interests, they literally could care less about the long term health of NYC.

Any New Yorker caught fleeing to another state needs to be rounded up by ICE and deported back to NY
Any New Yorker? Not just the people who voted for him? You don’t actually believe that, and here’s why:

Atlanta, Birmingham, Jackson, Montgomery, etc, etc...

When conservative voters move from these cities to the suburbs or out of state, do you believe they should be rounded up and forced to stay put?

Sounds like NYC is already in the "Find Out" stage.

Don't fool yourself, that has been DeKalb and Fulton for at least 20 years. I remember when that shitbird Ossof first ran for office. Failed. Throw more money at it, wins.

No, you have 2 dem senators because the Rs ran ridiculously stupid candidates against the 2 dem senators.

Those suffering the consequences likely didn’t vote for him.

If you have a city retirement you probably aren’t asking them for free shite.

They have a plan that has been proven over and over since Karl Marx wrote the plan.

If by “super rich” you mean entertainers or celebrity CEOs, fine. But the actual "frick you money" class isn’t Marxist in any meaningful sense. They may nod along to redistribution rhetoric when it boosts their brand or insulates them from criticism, but that’s not ideology, it’s strategy.

The irony is that they’ll borrow anti-capitalist language to further entrench their own capital. Using the vocabulary of dismantling wealth concentration as a tool to expand your own wealth concentration is about as on-the-nose as it gets.
