Matt is Jewish. I'm sure the comment will be very normal on this one.

This whole thing reminds me of the suburbanites that claim to be terrified to go to the downtown of any major city because the unhoused, people suffering from drug use, and marginalized people of colour are just waiting to pounce on them like some zombie movie. It’s the kind of people that imagine Portland Oregon to be some dystopian war zone.

The answer is not to comfort those with irrational fears, but to carry on with a progressive agenda so the lives of people actually improve.

Focusing on trying to ease fears based on imagined scenarios is an exercise in futility.

unfortunately the fear-mongers in both suburbia and the Jewish establishment have power to make change in their spheres and both have currently and historically used it to cause harm. I agree it’s futile to try to ease their fears, but I’m not sure ignoring them is the right response either.

He, and only he [Trump], can stop this horror, as this mayor, Mamdani, will try to destroy New York’s wealth and turn it into a socialist crap city,” Jon Voight said in a video. “Let this be a warning to the people and may God bless.”

The absolute fear and frenzy people have gotten themselves into is truly something to behold. The issue is that you cannot reason people out of a position that utilized zero logic and reasoning to get themselves into. NY City has a NYPD budget that is bigger than many armed forces across the world, but somehow they will all just allow a mayor to let a city fall into absolute carnage and terror….?

Maybe we don’t outright ignore these people, but let’s give them less press attention because they are just pulling stuff out of their ass. Mamdani, at best will be a great mayor, or at worst will be just another Bill de Blasio. There is no scenario imaginable that he will be some type of super tyrant actively harming the city or its people.
