Mamdani could walk out onto the street corner and just stand there, and Republicans would just shit their pants and scream all day. it's their job. just the fact that he exists is absolute torment to them.

I love it

he's their new Obama. remember the tan suit and the dijon mustard bullshit? it's what they attack because they have nothing else.

They complained that he violated pool dress code by jumping into a pool with his suit on, to start the season off. What the fuck kind of complaint is that, honestly. Unless hoards of children start jumping in with full business attire, I think we'll all be fine.

It's a party of Karen's. What do you expect?

[-] protist@retrofed.com 5 points 1 day ago

They complain about anything petty they can possibly complain about, because it distracts from their political positions, which are desperately unpopular

BTW he took his shoes off.

[-] bigbangdangler@reddthat.com 5 points 1 day ago

They're manufacturing things to be upset about, because he has a serious amount of popular momentum. It must be hard as he continues to fucking kill it in terms of policy. All the charts showing the achievements as if they are a bad thing are all you need to understand how out of touch these folks are.

The weird talking points like complaining about him jumping into a pool in a suit tend to come around when more substantive arguments aren't materializing.

Republicans fume at the mere existence of anyone different than them

[-] hayvan@piefed.world 39 points 1 day ago

In this case it's not about being different, but being successful and popular. Fascists don't have competence, they can't compete against competence.

In this case it’s not about being different, but being successful and popular.

That's different for them.

has he been spotted riding a bicycle already? That was among the most ridiculous of the Obama "scandals".

[-] homes@piefed.world 15 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

he rode a Citi Bike to work one of his first days in office, and the right collectively shit their pants. FOX News hosts went hoarse from screaming about it non-stop for a week

[-] A_norny_mousse@piefed.zip 6 points 1 day ago

lol so predictable

[-] ParlimentOfDoom@piefed.zip 3 points 1 day ago

Yeah he participated in some bike day thing, where they closed down a street every year for a day or week or something, with a bunch of kids.
