A lot of people will just support the populist in the race regardless of their ideology or whether their proposed policies make any sense.

This is good.
Odds are she 8s the kind of person who has spent most of her life voting for Democrats to save her from Republicans and Republicans to save her from Democrats when they're two sides of the same coin.
The sooner people learn to break out of that, the better things will be.
"yes, i voted to suffer, but you must understand, it made people i hate suffer too"
I hate how it can take literally having your choices fuck you over to get some people to change.
I despise how more people have their choices fuck them over and then double, triple, and quad down on them.
I think what's really sad about Trumpism and similar surges of right wing support in other countries is that I get where it's coming from — many of these people were already thoroughly fucked over by things they had no choice over. And then they're so desperate for change that they vote for things that fuck them over even harder. We need more politicians like Mamdani

In her defense, she’s been Wong most of her life.
white people resist making puns off Chinese last names challenge (impossible)
So that’s bad but calling someone a Karen is ok?

I went to school with a kid whose last name was Homo. This was the 90s in a culturally cloistered part of the US - at least back then - so the kid never heard the end of it. He changed his surname after graduation.
Shirley it's impossible
Don’t call me Shirley!
Internet guy not assuming all people on the internet are white challenge (impossible (you will lose))
Wong. An immigrant, or at least the descendant of. They’re so quick to pull up the ladder.
Aren't most US Americans immigrants if you just go back in time long enough?
Hell, even Native Americans must've immigrated somewhen.
It's all about 'I got mine, fuck you!' attitude.
Colonization and immigration are meaningfully different though
Yea. All of us except the Natives, and even then if you want to be even more pedantic they migrated here too.
Of course! Do you know who was also an immigrant? Mary Anne MacLeod who was married to, and had children with, Fred Trump who was himself a first-generation American.
