The Mandami effect

[Larniavc]

But do we see that from Trump supporters in this forum?

I think that because this is generally an American forum the level of acceptance for authoritarianism is a lot higher than most western democracies.

I sometimes wonder if the Libertarian folks in the US are a response to this. I don’t see many libertarians in the UK and I posit that’s because our tolerance for authoritarianism is much lower.

You only have to look at how landslide victor Sir Kier Starmer is now regarded.

It's quite genius, actually. There is no infighting. All force is directed towards the opposition. Modern conservatives are willing to accept the good with the bad, while the left is routinely tearing itself apart because of minor disagreements and can't find it's direction because it believes that the direction actually matters.

I'd be more inclined to think "accept the bad with the even worse"

It will be interesting to see how things are going in NYC a year from now. Hopefully it won't end up being a hard lesson for NY citizens.

Mandami cannot fulfil half of his campaign promises since a city mayor lacks the authority for those changes. The rest may be possible, but would require two or three years, so significant change in NYC seems unlikely.

So it might get worse before it gets better?

That is a matter of perspective.
