I wonder how long it's going to be before Americans like Mr Mamdani are going to start falling out of windows after accidentally shooting themselves in the back of the head 6 times ..

History has shown that Americans steadfastly refuse to use political violence until the right is being inconvenienced and lashes out.

Yeah but they also have a history of not being stacked with Russian shills, so maybe some KGB style antics are on the cards.

It sounds implausible at first glance but, like, this is literally just COINTELPRO.

I can't believe the quotes from elected officials I'm reading in that article. Holy fuck.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) posted an AI-generated image depicting the Statue of Liberty wearing a black burka with the caption: “This hits hard.”

Greene’s fellow congressional stunt artist Rep. Nancy Mace (R-S.C.) posted a photo of Mamdani dressed in a kurta — a garment worn by men in Southeast Asia — while attending an Eid service at the Parkchester Islamic Center in the Bronx. “After 9/11 we said ‘Never Forget.’ I think we sadly have forgotten,” Mace wrote.

Turning Point USA founder and far-right influencer Charlie Kirk wrote on social media late Tuesday night that “24 years ago a group of Muslims killed 2,753 people on 9/11. Now a Muslim Socialist is on pace to run New York City.”

The Conservative Propaganda Machine sure does love it's buzzwords. They just spend their down time socializing their followers to respond to certain words and phrases like Pavlov's dogs, and when anything big spins up, they just start chanting them like a mantra until everyone is wound up tight.

9/11, Muslim Jihadist, Muslim Brotherhood, Obama, etc. All they have to do is intone the Holy Propaganda, and they go into a MAGA trance.

Schumer, if Trump doesn't:

"Fine, I'll do it myself"
