That feeling when you're writing your gay romance novel and a rival comes into existence out of NOWHERE and you're like no ew love triangles are cringe, but also it's a useful opportunity to get ML to stop taking MC for granted π€

the difference is that any other democrat would capitulate to trump. if you watch the whole press conference trump is constantly saying "i support his bold vision for New York" and mamdani is not giving an inch. it makes me think that democrats are too eager to compromise under pressure

Mamdani charms Trump is under an hour...and calls Trump a fascist. Trump also threw Stefanik under the bus...good news for Hochul who has been backing Mamdani.
Fox is going bonkers.
This is great news. Let us hope it lasts.

Q: βAre you affirming you think Trump is a fascist?β
TRUMP: βThatβs ok, you can just say yes.β

Yes. I read a an essay about this by a political scientist 15 years ago and itβs lived rent free in my brain ever since.
In a nutshell, he said, the more unstable and out of control the world seems, the more people are willing to cede power to authoritarian leaders.

Trump is charmed by charming men and raging T-rexes, and anyone close to *either* of those poles can play him like a fiddle.
These anyones are usually evil people, but it canβamazinglyβbe good people if they strike him as confident and charming enough. (Thread)

I think there's also a part of Trump that involuntarily respects confidence, which Mamdani of course has in spades. People like Tim Cook are obviously nice to Trump, but I don't get the sense that Trump actually respects the sort of servile behavior the way he respects someone who fights him.

Here is how that meeting went down:
Zorhan: [Trashing Cuomo, Hakeem, Schumer and all the other New Yorkers him and Trump mutually hate]
Trump: [Loving every minute of it]
2 minutes until time is up
ZM: By the way, we donβt need DHS in NYC and we need the federal funding.
Trump: You got it.

The meeting was at Mamdaniβs request. Just on face value, Trump having to sit while a strong charismatic mayor of NYC loomed over him, was beauty to behold.

Bingo, all you have to do is kiss Trump's ass to get what you want. Dems should learn that. They should make up a real medicare for all healthcare bill, go to Trump and lavish him with praise and promise of the Nobel, and he will probably support the damn thing.

I want to note how careful Mamdani was to not smile in these pics.
When I noted during the Biden presidency how he repeatedly kept smiling in the wrong moments, Biden diehards lost their minds.
Do not give people propaganda victories by smiling in photos.
Example: Biden with MBS in Saudi.
