New York Ciry Once the Center of the World, Now is in Decline: Why? Because the Progressive Democrats Brought New York City to Its Knees There was a time when New York City was the undisputed capital of the world, a beacon of financial might, artistic innovation, and American ambition. The city set the pace for global culture and commerce from Wall Street to Broadway. But today, that same city is wracked by rising crime, collapsing infrastructure, unaffordable housing, and civic dysfunction. What happened? The answer is painfully clear: decades of leadership by corrupt, socialist, and outright communist mayors, backed by a Democratic Party that long ago abandoned moderation in favor of ideological extremism. These so-called “progressive” leaders have driven out businesses with punitive taxes and crushing regulations, dismantled policing in the name of social justice, coddled criminals over victims while violence spirals out of control, and replaced merit-based governance with identity politics and performative radicalism.
Worse still, the Democratic establishment hasn’t just tolerated this decay; it’s actively promoted it, elevating candidates who are either deeply corrupt, like Andrew Cuomo, now seeking a comeback, or openly aligned with anti-capitalist, anti-American ideologies, like Zohran Mamdani, whose rhetoric mirrors that of revolutionary movements, not democratic institutions.
These aren’t fringe outliers. They’re the face of the party in New York.
The result? Businesses are fleeing, middle-class families are priced out or moving away, and the world that once looked to New York as a model of success now sees a warning sign. Progressive communist Democrats have turned the Empire City into a cautionary tale—and if voters don’t wake up soon, there may not be much left to save.
The Democratic primary for the Mayor of New York City takes place on Tuesday, June 24, 2025, with early voting from June 14 22, with the general election set for Tuesday, November 4, 2025.

Most importantly, he is aligned with radical far-left groups, like the Democratic Socialists of America, and receives support from figures associated with radical protest movements. These controversies, spanning foreign policy, identity politics, governance records, and ideological extremism, have combined to raise serious concerns among a broad spectrum of New Yorkers about Mamdani’s fit for citywide leadership.
Authority comes from hate? I thought it came from truth. And authoritarianism from the enforcement of the "one" truth.
Isaiah Berlin's work emphasizes the importance of understanding that there are multiple, often conflicting, values that humans pursue, and that these values are not necessarily reducible to a single, overarching Good. This concept, known as value pluralism, suggests that while some values like freedom and security may be universally desired, they often require trade-offs and compromises to be realized. Berlin's ideas challenge the notion of a single, perfect ideal and highlight the inherent complexities of human choices and social arrangements.
The "one" Truth... the "one" Good. These are things upon which men will disagree based upon the personal "goods" that were granted them by inheritance from their Creators.
And believe you when I say that what's good for a high IQ university graduate is different from that of a good that a high school male or female blue-collar worker might benefit from. And the elite's luxury values are absolutely fatal to a poor man/ woman.
Read my comment again. It is clear it does NOT say authority comes from hate. It says that is what is om tRump. Hate, because that is what he does tRump us hate

Indeed. donald trump's luxury values are killing his own supporters. And will kill many more.

Premature without a doubt.

Hate is the religion of tRump, MAGA, and the trumpublican party.
Lying, Division, and hate for all that is good and decent is the living reality of rRump and the sycophants who support his ignorance and hate.
And Progressive HATER proves it in spades.
Sounded reasonable to me. Looks to me that it's a well-reasoned hate.
Of course it does. Hate and authoritarianism rises and thrives when TRUTH becomes the enemy. And that is on the FOTUS and MAGA.
Authority comes from hate? I thought it came from truth. And authoritarianism from the enforcement of the "one" truth.
