Europeans recognize Zohran Mamdani’s supposedly radical policies as ‘normal’ Critics of New York City’s mayor-elect have said his pledges of free bus service and universal childcare are unrealistic, but in Europe it’s a given

“Normal. That’s the word,” he wrote in his newsletter. “Here, taking care of one another through public programs isn’t radical socialism. It’s Tuesday.”'

I hear you and wish that were the case, but it's just a dream. The reality is Fox News sets the narrative (Trump himself follows it) and a good majority of free-willed American adults are not responsible or informed. They've been fed this shit and have subsequently tied it to their identity.
