I used to believe racism in the United States was overstated.
Sure, it existed. But it's not something widespread. Common. The claim americans are racists is ridiculous.
Well...I was wrong.
"Zohran Mamdani is a terrorist"
"Mamdani supports ISIS and HAMAS"
"New York City faces sharia law"
"Mamdani wants to MURDER jews"
The amount of shit published about this guy is absolutely insane.
He recently attended the 9/11 memorial ceremony.
At some point, he greeted congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and smiled for 5 seconds.
Immediatly, politicians went wild
Senator Ted Cruz:
Congresswoman Mary Miller :
Speaker Mike Johnson:
Here is the video. You can clearly see that he was stoic. He hugged her. Then he immediatly went back to being stoic.
Dude smiled 5 SECONDS in a 5 hour ceremony and they accuse him of celebrating 9/11
At the same ceremony, JD Vance and Howard Lutnick laughed and joked.
No one cares. They are white.
The US is more racist than I ever imagined.
I'm listening to a podcast for about 10 years. I care less and less for it, because the people in said podcast slowly drift off into... Not a rightwing pipeline, but a boomer pipeline. I don't know how to describe it. I didn't always agree, but the takes are getting so bad for my taste. Still, i didn't imagine them hating on Mamdani, but never even mention trump for example. And it's such a weird dislike. Ah yeah, now we rich people pay more taxes? For what? To do good? Stupid. Like they low key just hope he fails and i'm sitting there thinking: what's wrong with you? You have an audience and a microphone and never mention that your president is a pedophile, but hope that his supermarket that is affordable for poor people in new york fails?
What's the podcast?
