The Zohran Mamdani Revolution

They did it. They finally did it. Those maniacs. They blew it up.
As New Yorkers walk dazed through the streets of the world's greatest city, seeking perhaps the half-buried Statue of Liberty lying beneath the silent sands of adeserted beach in the Forbidden Zone, one thing has become clear: The young revolutionaries of the Democratic Party are ready to take control of their party's future. And there's hardly anyone left to stop them.
On Tuesday, Zohran Mamdani, a 33-year-old Ugandan-born trust fund baby -- the scion of a Columbia University post-colonialism professor and an Oscar-nominated Hollywood director -- won a stunning Democratic primary victory over disgraced former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo. Mamdani immediately declared that he would be running against "billionaires" in order to preserve "democracy." In Socialist-speak, this means that he will propose massive rent freeze regulations, city-owned grocery stores and a bevy of free goods that would make a child running for fifth-grade president blush.
Meanwhile, Mamdani regularly hits the highlights of the so-called left-wing omnicause: He's a radical antisemite who calls for the disestablishment of the State of Israel as a Jewish state while vowing to arrest the prime minister; he's sympathetic to a bevy of terrorists throughout the Middle East, so long as they oppose Israel; he vows to spend millions of dollars subsidizing the transgender hormonal and surgical mutilation of minors. He's a walking meme, a Columbia University student a decade too old for school ... and now the front-runner to become New York's next mayor.
