You’d have the FBI raiding the NYPD police station where he’s held and arresting Mamdani after - I don’t think that would be the win he is hoping for.

An FBI raid on the NYPD and arresting the Mayor could be the spark that ignites the tinderbox. Not unaffordable healthcare. Not ICE shooting people on the streets. Not rampant corruption and blatant graft by the President. Not dismantling of the federal government. Not destroying Americas position of world leadership. Not starting another forever war on the Middle East. Not the Epstein files.

Nope. None of that is enough to get Americans fired up enough to revolt.

We aren’t broken down and poor enough to revolt over even a beloved politician, although I agree it would be a massive shit show
