Middle-class Democrats are slowly grasping--way too slowly--that they have created a monster that will eventually eat them up. 

That monster runs on two legs: an education system that churns out miseducated radicals and an immigration system that imports uneducated third-world radicals.

Loosely speaking, there are two Democratic parties now: a young, college-educated group of privileged radicals who have been indoctrinated to believe in socialism, and an older cohort who believe that the role of government is to smooth the rough road of life without killing the goose that lays the golden eggs. 

Mamdani's win is a political earthquake that should have the Democratic establishment nationally running scared.

It comes as 62% of Dems are fed up with their party leaders & want them replaced.

AOC, Mamdani, and the rising influence of the Democratic Socialists of America, who are taking over the Democratic Party, are the inevitable winners of the competition between the two groups, in no small part due to demographics. Older Democrats grew up on Schoolhouse Rock and believe that what distinguishes Democrats from Republicans is their greater compassion for the working class and downtrodden. Younger, college-educated Democrats grew up in Randi Weingarten's socialist/activist schools being indoctrinated that America is fundamentally evil and must be "decolonized" and embrace "queer" culture.

The older Democrats believed that sending their kids to college and giving them an education superior to their own was the key to social mobility; in reality, it was the key to turning them into socialists. The old Democrats thought they were teaching compassion to their young--expand the pie, take care of the inevitable losers in society, and make a more perfect union. What they created with their incessant drive to expand "education" was a privileged, indoctrinated, wealthy class of dissatisfied activists who are fundamentally hostile to American society.

Mamdani is the candidate of the lesbian actresses with Queer kids, not the plumber struggling to get by in a city that disdains them and taxes them into penury. They just want a city that is safe and works. She wants "social justice." The influx of illegal migrants is the perfect cause to rally around. Who, aside from "Queers," is more in need of the ministrations of the virtuous? Think of the opportunities for imposing "justice" and destroying capitalism and the bourgeoisie.

The irony is that the one group most hostile to the new class of Democrats is the people who are supposed to be their beneficiaries--the working-class who want to climb their way up the ladder--many of whom are legal immigrants and their children. They came here not to be parasites killing off the host to live off the corpse, but to enjoy the American Dream. That is one of the distinguishing characteristics of recent migrants and those who came when immigration was more of less disconnected from the welfare state. 

Don’t blame NYC blacks or Hispanics for Mamdani.

They voted against him.

Mamdani's voting base was Muslims and wealthier New Yorkers who didn't get where they are by working for it. The intellectual class, the 6-figure college-educated, and the radical slackers who have enough not to worry about the government failing at its basic tasks. Mamdani's coalition most emphatically did not include the working class or the high school-educated.

Mamdani is the perfect leader of his coalition. His father is a professor, his mother a film producer, and he went to the tony Maine college Bowdoin. He aspired to be a rapper with his mother's help before going into politics, celebrating--I kid you not--Hamas. He hangs out with people who think America deserved 9/11, and he campaigned to turn New York into a more Muslim city. He thinks Boston Mayor Michelle Wu is a political goddess. Wu, you may recall, works assiduously to keep illegal alien sexual predators outside the grasp of ICE. 

People look at Mamdani’s coalition and dispute this, but when you butcher the city’s middle class and replace them and their moderating influence with politically inert foreigners, of course you get wild swings between incumbent worship and educated-class ideological fantasies. https://t.co/J2yXTFmhl8

Old-line Democrats despise the Republican Party, but some are already reconciled to the fact that they may be forced to become Republicans, just as many in the working class have.
