@mayormamdani @nycmayor delivered a phenomenal speech highlighting the impact of his first 100 days in office. He has not disappointed.
I traveled from Florida as an ex MAGA Christian nationalist. I wanted to see the hype. Mayor Mamdani, thus far, has proven to be as real as they come.
Leaving MAGA was inevitable. It had to be done. I deconstructed and no longer aligned with the ideology of the right. But more importantly I’ve began to see how unfettered capitalism is destroying our country.
But have the Dems been better?
One of the main reasons I supported Trump is because he positioned himself as antiestablishment. He was going to drain the swamp and change politics as usual. I, like many Americans, were tired of the status quo. We were tired of corporate America and systems that only served the interests of the elite. But Trump is the swamp, as my dad says. The truth is the Dem Party wasn’t doing much better. They, too, were the establishment. They forgot about the working class. They were married to the old way of doing things and unwilling to try something new.
Then I heard the ideas of people like Bernie Sanders and Zohran Mamdani. They understood that we need a government that is efficient and not mired by corruption. We needed a government that returned to the people. We needed big money out of politics.
Mayor Mamdani did what the wealthy hate to see. He organized and he mobilized. Any time the powers at be see ordinary folks doing the extraordinary work of bringing community together, they become fearful. They will do whatever it takes to prevent unity of the working class. This is why the elite want the division by race, ethnicity, religion, and sexual identity. They fear what happens when people come together.
New York City was electric. I’ve never seen that many different demographics of people come together in one place as one voice. It was honestly one of the most beautiful moments in my life. There was so much love and compassion for each other and humanity. It was genuine. It was authentic. It was palpable. But for me I know it was fleeting.
I hear, “now boarding flight #2965 to Fort Lauderdale, Florida.”
Chat is on some MAGA, “just trust me bro” bs. I had to check fool 3 times before he got his mind right. Please be sure to double check all info you get especially with AI. Too many people rely on AI for their info, and I can’t tell you how many times I’ve received misinformation from chat. I checked chat 3 times before he got it right. I was about to tell him to line it up and get in the paint, but he didn’t want any smoke....
Imagine being DeSantis and signing a bill renaming the airport in your home state to the honor the guy who embarrassed you on the national stage. A real c u c k if I’ve ever seen one.
As a resident of the Treasure Coast in Florida, I will never fly out of Trump/Epstein International again. I’ll take the extra 40 minute drive to Fort Lauderdale....
Seriously though, I know swallowing our pride is difficult, but at this point there are no excuses. I changed back in 2021. I chose to do the work. I chose to deconstruct from the Conservative Christian nationalist narrative our community has perpetuated spanning many generations. I was you. I was raised in the same racist, homophobic, transphobic, xenophobic, Islamophobic, and misogynistic environment as you. Whether in the church pew or at the dinner table, I was given the same lies and misinformation. However, I chose to unlearn. Once you see the truth, you can never unsee the truth. To be willfully ignorant in 2026 is an excuse....
