New York being a Democratic safe haven has made the Democrats there so fucking brazen in their neoliberal ghoulery. The whole state is basically a bunch of real estate developers in a trench coat anyway.

[-] GnastyGnuts@hexbear.net 37 points 1 month ago

I think California is basically the same way.

[-] djsaskdja@reddthat.com 17 points 1 month ago

Minnesota seems to be heading that direction too.

Pretty much every deep blue state.

The head at the top of the trench coat speaks.

"The construction industry is the backbone of a healthy economy. Look, people might not want to hear this but building a large number of Trump camps in New York State is good...*

new york democrats don't even fucking pretend, lol

[-] InevitableSwing@hexbear.net 24 points 1 month ago

They are ahead of the curve. Most dems are going to be that way. Meanwhile dem lackeys, pundits, consultants will explain it to the voters by saying stuff like "Look, difficult times require the dems to make hard choices". The dems might as well say...

turning a big dial taht says "Racism" on it and constantly looking back at the audience for approval like a contestant on the price is right

A reporter wrote this about New York in 1869 (as quoted in Settlers chapter 4):

When a native Mississipian and an exconfederate officer, in addressing a convention, refers to a colored delegate who has preceded him as 'the gentleman from Georgia', when a native Alabamian, who has for the first time crossed the Mason and Dixon line, and who was from boyhood taught to regard the Negro simply as chattle, sits in deliberate consultation with another delegate whose ebony face glistens with African sheen, and signs the report of his colored co-delegate, when an ardent and Democratic partisan (from New York at that*) declares with a 'rich Irish brogue' that he asks for himself no privilege as a mechanic or a citizen that he is not willing to concede to every other man, white or black - when, I say, these things can be seen or heard at a national convention, called for any purpose, then one may indeed be warranted in asserting that time works curious changes.(46)

* The reporter remarks on this because the Democratic Party was the pro-slavery party, and New York was infamous as the seat of some of the most vicious and violent anti-Afrikan mass sentiment.

The liberal:

"I detest the scapegoating of vulnerable populations to further your political goals and I promise to prevent it from happening"

"They got arrested once"

"STRAIGHT TO THE OPEN AIR CONCENTRATION CAMPS"

Governor Hochul, welcome to The Assistance.

Oh, man. Hahhaahhahha.

“When those are identified, I'll be the first one to help get rid of them,” she added. “I don't want them here. I don't want anybody terrorizing my citizens.”

wonder-who-thats-for

[-] InevitableSwing@hexbear.net 10 points 1 month ago

I saw the first half of that but I stopped at she added. Man, it's like hearing a joke and entirely missing a great punchline. "I don't want anybody terrorizing my citizens,"" is classic dem. Trump can make anybody a non-citizen at any time by striping them of then citizenship. The GOP justices created their immunity ruling especially for Trump. He doesn't even have to do paperwork or talk to lawyers.

Democrats are so busy conflating anti-Zionism with anti-semitism that they've completely forgotten how Jews and other "undesirables" were actually persecuted in the Third Reich and how easily such persecution can happen again. But when the cattlecars are filled with Muslims, Hispanics, queers and anti-Zionist Jews, Democrats will absolutely be there to ~~stop them~~ say "Should have voted harder!"

[-] CantaloupeAss@hexbear.net 25 points 1 month ago

She has been saying this since 2007, when she threatened to report undocumented immigrants who wanted to get driver's licenses

[-] came_apart_at_Kmart@hexbear.net 25 points 1 month ago

somebody call ICE and insist several undocumented workers are hiding inside her brain.

[-] Weedian@hexbear.net 8 points 1 month ago

Just because I wanted to abolish ICE doesn't mean I won't call them on you

[-] GnastyGnuts@hexbear.net 22 points 1 month ago

It's like democrats just can't help themselves, y'know?

[-] Rojo27@hexbear.net 21 points 1 month ago

Imagine having less political acumen than Eric Adams. I have no doubt that he'd gleefully do whatever he can to help Trump deport people, but unless he's said something I missed, his responses to similar questions have been fairly ambiguous.

[-] iie@hexbear.net 16 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Mass deportation rhetoric scapegoats POC for economic conditions. That's unambiguous fascism. The democrats spend four years letting greedflation happen, because it's their own donors raking in the money, then they line up POC to take the fall. This needs to be a wake up call for progressive dem voters, the democrats are giving us a preview of what they'll do in the future when the chips fall.

[-] frauddogg@hexbear.net 1 points 1 month ago

Should be, but the misleadership complex does a very good at keeping my skinfolk afraid and unshakable in their fealty to the new plantation.

When Andrew Cuomo runs for mayor of NYC he could run as a democrat or a republican or an independent supported by billionaires. Why?

Punchline

It doesn't matter.

[-] VernetheJules@hexbear.net 11 points 1 month ago

good thing they got rid of stop and frisk

[-] InevitableSwing@hexbear.net 11 points 1 month ago

I'm imagining a near future press conference with Hochul, Adams and other important dems. They proudly announce their tough but necessary New York State / NYC "immigration" plan. MNSBC - now called ToadyTV - praises the Catch and Camp plan. Liz Cheney has her own show and she says "Migrants will be caught and detained humanely and preemptively. This strong and bold move will help the republicans - oops, I mean democrats - in 2026."

Trump has a new applause line: "My plan is the best plan but their plan is pretty good... for democrats."
