I think I'm seeing a resemblance to Trump's rise in 2015-16 and the rise of Zohran Mamdani. The more both parties and the press demonize him, the more people are flocking to him, and more rabid his supporters get. People don't react well to the pile on. It starts feeling concerted, and makes you more sympathetic not less. Especially when the things you are using to demonize the person actually strikes a cord with people.


Edit: This latest stuff from the New York Times is a perfect example of how ridiculous it is getting. They had a leak from a data breach of Columbia University that he marked Asian and African American on his application. How is that a scandal. He literally is both. I guess they are trying to play off the anti-DEI thing, but the kicker here is he didn't get into Columbia. WTF does it matter?
And the worse thing: The source that gave them the information is a literal Neo-Nazi who promotes eugenics. They published hacked information from a Nazi. That is a level of desperation that makes Zohran look dangerous to the establishment in a good way.
