When I saw the video of New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani and New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-14) sharing a lighthearted laugh as they were reading out the name of people who died during the 9/11 attacks, I could hardly feel myself becoming angry.
In fact, what I felt was more of a hardening resolution of something I already knew becoming confirmed once again. These two are not my people. They aren't on my side. I don't just mean politically. You could choke a Smurf and it wouldn't turn as blue as either of those national embarrassments who somehow hold elected office, but that's long been the case, so I'm not exactly shocked a radical leftist is acting like a radical leftist.
Disgraceful. AOC and Mamdani look so happy. pic.twitter.com/cZ0zcKOlUT

What I mean is that these two, along with their cohorts and fans, are in complete opposition to the United States of America. They hate it. They've always hated it. Their goals are the same as the terrorists who flew planes into the World Trade Center. They want to collapse the United States of America like any other terrorist, but Mamdani and AOC are just in a prime position to do it in a different way. Their front is different.
To be clear, I'm not saying Mamdani and AOC are a part of a Middle-Eastern terrorist organization, but I am saying that you won't find them condemning terrorism done against America with any seriousness, because anything that damages the American system is ultimately good. If it takes American lives then, oh well. You can't make an Islamo-fascist omelet without cracking a few eggs.
I might sound hyperbolic here, but consider two things here. As my colleague Kyle Becker pointed out, Mamdani's so openly hostile to the American system that he's handing ceremonial pens to former lawyers of terrorists:
One of the major points of contention was Mamdani’s appointment of Ramzi Kassem as New York City’s chief counsel. Kassem previously represented Ahmed al-Darbi, a convicted al-Qaeda member whose brother-in-law was one of the 9/11 hijackers.
Mamdani directed that Kassem receive one of the ceremonial pens used to sign an executive order establishing an annual September 11 Day of Remembrance and Service.
The lawyer flashed the same kind of smug grin that his boss did on 9/11.
And one should also remember that AOC refuses to condemn terrorism inflicted on Americans by radicals.

This is the same woman who loves to have pictures of herself breaking, while wearing all white and crying over children being deported... in front of an empty parking lot.
Searched Grabien’s PhotoBank and found these alternate angle pics of @AOC where her sad-face pics were shot. Apparently she was crying about the lack of migrant children for her photo op. pic.twitter.com/8FMB8OQR6K

Do you see the pattern here? If you're not an American and you trouble it in any way, you're worth rewarding. Be an innocent American and die at the hands of those who hate America, and that's no big deal. Tell jokes and laugh as the names are read out.
These people are at war with you, and I can't make this clear enough. The attacks are different, the tactics vary, but America's enemies are no longer outside its borders. They're here. They smile at you, promise you a better life, pretend to care about the oppressed and glorify the little man, but this is all snake oil. Like vampires, once you invite them over the threshold, they begin the blood-drinking. You don't notice the anemia at first due to the euphoria, but it eventually hits you, one way or another.
This is who they are. They hate you. They hate the people who voted them into office. They're going to work hard to destroy us from the inside... but you shouldn't be mad when you see them expressing their contempt for you by laughing at those murdered. Getting mad and expressing outrage at them is a wasted effort. They don't feel shame for it. They don't care what you think. They're just doing what comes naturally to them.
You don't get mad at the snake for being venomous. You just do what you can to get rid of it.
