“A few short weeks ago, people who largely represented one political faction were protesting for ‘No Kings.’ Then, too many of those from the very same faction in New York City did a flip-flop and voted for a man who promises to act exactly like a king. During his election night victory speech, New York City mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani said, ‘We will prove that there is no problem too large for government to solve, and no concern too small for it to care about.’ This is real-world king-level stuff. His supporters didn’t notice the contradiction within themselves, but were thrilled at the prospect. Politics makes people stupid. Apparently, those voters aren’t opposed to kings at all. They just don’t like Donald Trump being the president. Who knew? All of us did.” (11/12/25)
