Why do I love Mamdani and hate Ted Cruz?
« on: Yesterday at 12:24:10 AM »
(Sorry about the title. I don't actually "hate" anyone; I'm just disgusted by him. And I don't actually "love" Mamdani; I just agree with him on this one issue. But I had to somehow keep the title concise and click-worthy)

Mamdani's response to Trump's Iran strike sparks conservative backlash: 'Rooting for the ayatollah'
NYC socialist Mayor Zohran Mamdani faces conservative backlash after condemning Trump's Iran strike that killed Ayatollah Khamenei, calling it an illegal war.
New York City's socialist Mayor Zohran Mamdani is facing blowback from conservatives on social media over his post condemning the U.S. attack on Iran that led to the killing of Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
On Saturday, as a joint strike on Iran by the United States and Israel was developing, Mamdani blasted the Trump administration's decision in a post on X that has been viewed roughly 20 million times.
"Today’s military strikes on Iran — carried out by the United States and Israel — mark a catastrophic escalation in an illegal war of aggression," Mamdani wrote.
"Bombing cities. Killing civilians. Opening a new theater of war. Americans do not want this. They do not want another war in pursuit of regime change."
Mamdani said Americans prefer "relief from the affordability crisis" before speaking directly to Iranians in New York City.
"You are part of the fabric of this city — you are our neighbors, small business owners, students, artists, workers, and community leaders," Mamdani said. "You will be safe here.
"The post was quickly slammed by conservatives on social media making the case that Mamdani's response appeared sympathetic to Iran's brutal regime and pointing to his lack of public reaction to the Iranian protesters killed in recent years.
"Comrade Mayor is rooting for the Ayatollah," GOP Sen. Ted Cruz posted on X. "They can chant together."
"Do u say anything pro American ?" Fox News host Brian Kilmeade posted on X. "do u know any Iranians - ? they hate @fr_Khamenei they celebrate his death, you should be celebrating his death ! hes killed thousands of American’s and just killed 30k Iranians, did u even say a word about that? You are an embarrassment !! Please quit."
"I don’t feel safe in New York listening to someone like you, Mamdani, who sympathizes with the regime that killed more than 30,000 unarmed Iranians in less than 24 hours," Iranian American journalist Masih Alinejad posted on X.
"We Iranians do not allow you to lecture us about war while you had nothing to say when the Islamic Republic shot schoolgirls and blinded more than 10,000 innocent people in the streets. You were busy celebrating the hijab while women of my beloved country Iran were jailed and raped by Islamic Security forces for removing it.  And NOW you find your voice to defend the regime? No. I will not let you claim the moral high ground. The people of Iran want to be free. Where were you when they needed solidarity?"
"How is it that you can’t differentiate between good and evil?" Billionaire hedge fund manager Bill Ackman posted on X.
"Why is this so hard for you?"
"It takes a particular kind of audacity, or ignorance, for a city mayor to appoint himself the conscience of American foreign policy while his constituents step over garbage on their way to work," GOP Rep. Nancy Mace posted on X.
"History will not remember his bravery. It will not remember him at all."

Why do I feel such primal disgust after reading this? I feel like I'm reading the words of an inbred hick with a 2nd grade education. This is what it means to be Republican, or conservative? This is where their minds are at, the level they operate at?

I feel like I'm eavesdropping on a 2nd grade classroom.

COUNT ME OUT!

Meanwhile, Mamdani (who I am no fan of, of course! He's a socialist for crying out loud) sounds eminently reasonable and wise by comparison. I'm completely with him on this one issue. Americans DO NOT want this war.

Clown World much?

It's all theater. Consider congresswoman Ilan Omar. Republicans have been claiming for years
that she married her own brother to get him into the country, has embezzled millions in campaign
funds, engaged in all kinds of fraud such as creating ghost businesses to launder money. 
Yet, with the full resources of the IRS, FBI, USCIS, etc nothing happens to her. 
I believe such extreme figures on the left like her and AOC benefit Republicans more by having
them around. Sean Hannity types are able to produce endless content at their expense in order
to bamboozle the public that there isn't a uniparty. 
It's the same way talk show hosts used to routinely bring on racist hillbillies or weirdo nαzιs
as guests in order mock anyone who didn't espouse their colorblind utopia.
Mandami came out of absolutely nowhere and somehow became mayor of a city where the 
population is 1/3 Jєωιѕн. And these are the wealthiest jews in the world who control the
real estate market, finance, retail industry, courts, etc. 
His alleged anti Zionism gives them cover.

100%

If someone is a real threat to the uniparty and its controllers, they get the Fr. Coughlin treatment -- shut down, silenced, calumniated and reputation ruined by court historians... Listening to recrodings of Fr. Coughlin's actual radio programs and reading his words (including his later life defenses of tradition decades after he shut down his massive radio ministry and national Social Justice magazine under obedience) has been extremely informative for me... It's hard today to even imagine that the most popular media figure in American history (30M weekly listeners in a country of 130M souls at his peak) was a faithful traditional Catholic priest translating Rerum Novarum and Quadragesimo Anno for the masses...

This is what Americans (along with pretty much all Western nations) have to choose from: 

A.) The left-wing Marxist scuм (who are either domestic terrorists directly or who support domestic terrorism like Mamdani); or

B.) The right-wing Zionist scuм (who are either international terrorists directly or who support international terrorism like Cruz).

There is never a third option and it's always the two wings of the same "Kosher Bird."
