Can take this back to Ras Baraka getting arrested for what the coverage generally called a "protest" when what he was trying to do was inspect, as mayor, a property in his city where detention was being done without permits under what turned out to be dangerous and inhumane conditions

Having a bit of a hard time with the concept that if a guy in a police uniform who has a police vehicle shows up I should lock the doors and call 911, but if a guy in a ski mask with an hGH gut appears to be kidnapping my neighbor, I shouldn’t ask who he is if I don’t want federal charges.

Unfortunately his good policy moves have been reversed or annihilated because he did choose to govern as a moderate on the only issue that turned out to matter

“(On the very day the Times wrote that a vote for him would be a vote against public “disorder,” one journalist found Cuomo parked illegally in a Manhattan turn lane and another noted that he has been repeatedly ticketed in recent months for speeding in school zones.)”

The moderates got Joe Biden as president and Eric Adams as mayor and somehow their story is that they need to take back power from the left

I don't think I've ever felt more like burning it all down than I have while witnessing the elite project to turn Zohran Mamdani and Brad Lander into scary, incompetent monsters while turning an actual incompetent monster, Andrew Cuomo, into a merely complicated fellow who just made an oopsie.

The only correct answers are Bloomberg and Giuliani because NYT editorial board liberals believe stop-and-frisk was good

Mamdani's platform on public order is to create a Department of Community Safety so people other than the cops deal with mental health problems and other social disturbances, while the cops handle crime, but the editorial board prefers Cuomo's plan to have cops chase homeless people off the trains

Here it is: the New York Times editorial board loves Rahm Emanuel because it believes—against all evidence—that the secret to managing public life in the big city is to have the cops bust up undesirables

It's pretty telling that the second part of the "Mamdani is a danger to Jewish new yorkers" pitch is always "so vote for sexual harasser shitbag Italian Catholic Andrew Cuomo" and not "so vote for Jewish Progressive Brad Lander"

It's hard to break new ground in the catastrophically dipshitty "Let's daydream about how Trump wrecking the government might boost my pet cause" genre, but fantasizing about an administration full of eugenicists pursuing targeted interventions to promote minority health really gets there

Obviously it's not exiling people to torture prison or leaving hundreds of thousands to die without essential medicine or food but stuff like this and Terry Moran is pettily but definitely establishing the premises of absolute dictatorship
