I am far less optimistic than
@BillAckman and fear Cuomo may lose. If New Yorkers truly choose to fall under a radical Muslim communist like Mamdani, perhaps they should be left to their fate. That outcome would not spell the end of the American economy, only a shift in its center. Just as Detroit once fell and Austin rose, as San Francisco declined and Miami surged, as Chicago deteriorated and Dallas prospered, New York will learn that prosperity does not tolerate leftist ideology but depends on order, responsibility, and secure borders.
The people of New York will discover that nothing and no one is indispensable, for even the city’s former glory and power will quickly fade once Mamdani brings communism to its doorstep. His dangerous agenda includes legalizing drugs and prostitution, emptying prisons, cutting back the NYPD, and removing all limits on immigration. These radical policies threaten to dismantle law enforcement and economic stability, transforming New York into a dystopian Gotham City. The chaos he will create and the evil he will unleash would make even the darkest Batman films seem mild, turning the city into a lawless abyss.
The current demographic shift only magnifies this danger. Nearly 40 percent of New York’s residents are already foreign-born, and almost two-thirds of its children come from immigrant families. Under Mamdani, who promotes open borders and radical redistribution, this trend will trigger a structural transformation of both the population and political power. Voting rights will lose their meaning, taxpayers will lose their voice, and those who built the city’s prosperity will abandon it in large numbers.
As New York sinks into ideological decay, America’s economic power is already moving south. With the creation of the Texas Stock Exchange (TXSE), Wall Street is symbolically leaving its old home. Behind this new exchange stand giants such as BlackRock, Citadel Securities, Charles Schwab, and other major firms. They are investing billions to build a modern marketplace in Dallas, free from political interference, censorship, and overregulation. Capital follows freedom, leaving New York behind, and Texas is becoming the new financial heart of a nation quietly realigning its future.
Elon Musk recognized this shift early. He moved Tesla, SpaceX, and X from collapsing California cities to Texas to build what has become impossible in the coastal hubs and in New York itself: innovation without ideological control. President Trump has shown the courage to restore the foundations of national strength by securing borders, demanding honest numbers, and returning the economy to those who actually create it, exposing just how deeply at odds New York now stands with its failing path.
The city that never sleeps, once dazzling and proud, stood as a symbol of America’s rise and greatness. Under Mamdani, it will become a monument to its decline. It will embody the fatal embrace of jihadi extremism, as Mamdani’s open sympathy for jihad invites the same fanaticism that claimed thousands of lives on 9/11 to shape the city’s future. A tragedy and a disgrace.
History will not be kind to New York, and those who voted for Mamdani will soon regret it, as the ruins of Detroit already foreshadow. Yet while one door closes on the East Coast, another opens in the South, where freedom, merit, and reality still matter. It will not be the end of the American economy or the American dream, but it will certainly mark the end of the Big Apple as it was once known.
The Empire City will be remembered for what it once was, but the radical melting pot it has become will soon be despised by those who once admired it. Love has turned its back on New York and moved south, where freedom still breathes and truth still matters.
