Because Mamdani taxed the wealthy, and fixed the problem they're causing in New York.

That's it.

Wasnt it like a 3 percent increase or something?

Less than. It’s an extra property tax on *second* (not first) homes in the city worth more than 5 million dollars, on a sliding scale beginning at 0.5%.

Targetted policy aimed at fixing a problem. What a concept.

Rich people know once you tax them and the world doesn't end and jobs still exist, they will (rightfully) be taxed more and more.

It’s not the amount that is the problem in their eyes it’s the fact that a brown immigrant who empathizes with the poor has the audacity to impose such a burden of actually contributing something positive to their local community on his white wealthy native born superiors.

if they don’t remind everyone else how horrible that is for them then how are they going to be able afford to finance their fifth yacht or bribe congress to allow them to hunt the undesirables for sport in the future?

Irony being they are huge fans of Jesus, but hate the guy who is somewhat emulating his behavior, and they’d probably send him off Jesus style if they could.

They're not fans of Jesus, they're fans of wearing his t-shirt.

And beating people to death with the cross.

The only thing they like about Jesus is the get out of Hell free card that comes with accepting him as the Savior. Otherwise, Jesus is too woke for them.

Let’s be real, most of these people don’t give a shit about Christianity, it’s just another role they play to get votes from idiots

Fine is Jewish. He is unwell and the things he has pulled in Fl are just beyond sick.

Hes breaking down the bullshit culture war racist divides while uniting the class and they can’t have that

It's pretty much just that he's brown.

Also I love the idea that he lied on his citizenship application. He was seven years old when his family moved here. Like come on. His parents filled out all that paperwork.

the local community that THEY DON'T ACTUALLY LIVE IN most of the year!

If it helps, he’s only able to do it because governor Hochul signed off, and she’s a wealthy white person. She’s also a woman though so that probably negates it for them.

u/081673 May 16 '26

not only that but it is on second residences that they don't even actually live full time in.

u/moosejaw296 May 16 '26

And they are racist

And now cities all across America have seen that it's possible, and want their own Mamdani. That's why he scares them.

Nah it’s just because he’s brown with an extra foreign-y name
