When Zohran Mamdani was campaigning to become the next mayor of New York City, he easily hoodwinked a compliant legacy media with his calm, kind demeanor and political skills. But anyone who knew that Mamdani was exactly the Communist (excuse us ... 'democratic socialist') that he admitted to being knew it was all an act.
Communists are, by nature, extremely angry and unstable people.
Sure enough, when Mamdani gave his victory speech on Election Night, all of a sudden, the kindness was gone. In its place came an overtly aggressive and furious rant.
Today, at his inauguration -- where he was sworn in on a Quran -- Mamdani dropped the mask altogether.
Buckle up, New York City. This is what you have to look forward to:
🚨 NOW - NYC MAYOR ZOHRAN MAMDANI: "I was ELECTED as a Democratic Socialist, and I will GOVERN as a Democratic Socialist!"

CROWD: "DSA! DSA! DSA!"
An Islamic Socialist rules what's supposed to be our best city.

Ugh. The smugness of the other leftist Democrats in the audience gives the game away (except for scowling Bernie Sanders, who appears to have dressed up as his meme).
New York is in for a world of hurt.
Here's more proof with another excerpt from Mamdani's inaugural address. He's not even trying to hide it anymore.

Ah, yes. The warm embrace of food lines, poverty, violence, and bloodshed that 'collectivism' always brings with it.

In a hilarious illustration of how bad it's going to get, Mamdani's 'block party' for his inauguration had no food or even bathrooms.
And that's just Day One, New York City. It doesn't get better from there.

There is absolutely ZERO difference between a Communist and a 'Democratic Socialist.'
The “warmth” of collectivism that always requires coercion and force.

How many dead over the past 100 years due to collectivist ideologies? https://t.co/hWPzrO0GxG
Good question, Governor. We can't say for sure, but we know what the baseline number is.

These are the word games that Communists play.
Collectivism is a cancer.

True oppression begins when you judge people as part of groups instead of as individuals.
The Constitution exists to limit the power of society over man.
That is the foundation of America and we must preserve that notion over everything else. https://t.co/qNbBrpEa6H
Louder for everyone in New York.
If only the people in NYC knew history and what collectivism has led to historically. America, we must do a better job educating our citizens. https://t.co/dawhTkg6td

While it is very tempting to point at New Yorkers and say, 'you're getting what you deserve,' that's not entirely fair, as Jesse Kelly pointed out.
REMINDER: New Yorkers born in America flatly rejected this man.

He was elected by foreigners. If we do not stop foreigners from flooding this country, they will all choose this. https://t.co/GjGRqGZ6hg
This was entirely the objective of Joe Biden's open border policy for four years.
And Kelly is right. The left in America wants this for every city and state, not just blue strongholds like New York.

Far from being 'frigid,' rugged individualism is what built America into the greatest nation on Earth.
Collectivism, warm or otherwise, never built anything.
Seriously. We're not exaggerating there. Not one thing ever. Unless you count misery.
Hard to believe this can be said openly by an American politician.
— john jackson (@pvtjokerus) January 1, 2026
How humiliating. https://t.co/j93xmbrK5F
Well, there's the rub. Mamdani may be a legal citizen, but he is most definitely NOT an American.
And that's a problem that needs addressing before more areas fall into the dismal dystopia that's in store for New York.
He means it

Exactamundo.
The "warmth of collectivism" is the literal heat from fresh blood spilling out of millions executed under Stalin's purges, Mao's famines and revolutions, and Pol Pot's killing fields. Mamdani's fake utopia is just steaming piles of corpses and rivers of congealing gore, courtesy… https://t.co/dKQOOlPnVg

All the luck in the world is not going to help or save what was once the greatest city on Earth.
New York's only hope is that Mamdani gets caught in a scandal so big that he has to leave office or go to prison.
The good news is that, since he's a Communist, he is by definition corrupt, so there's a better than even chance that will happen inside of a year.
In the meantime, pray for New York. Pray for America.
