Trump was elected President by Republicans & independents dissatisfied with the partisan status quo. Mamdani is now NYC Mayor for the same reason for Democrats and independents. Ignorant rhetoric and empty promises fueled by appeals to emotion will come up empty for him, too.

Interesting perspective, politics always cycles through these waves.
Trump must be the most divisive president of the US ever. 🤠
Well, no one has seceded yet, so Lincoln at least still takes the cake.
Oh, I thought Lincoln was one of the best US presidents. He does have that huge statue.
He's complicated. In his first inaugural address, he explicitly said he did not intend to abolish southern slavery, and rejected the idea of African-American equality. His justification for war was also dubious, as he used Fort Sumter for military leverage against South Carolina.
