Isn't the establishment's notion that "success is achievable by anyone"? Why the shaming? If Mamdani was poor, their narative would probably be like: "He couldn't help himself why'd you think he could help you?"

The establishment's notion is more like "success only belongs to white conservatives like us"

The whole "everyone can be rich if they just apply themselves" fairytale is just a distraction to preserve the status quo and prevent another Bastille.

The point isn't to make sense or be consistent.

It's to demonize anyone deemed a threat to the status quo.
