“Toute nation a le gouvernement qu’elle merite.”
(“Every country has the government it deserves.”)
– Joseph de Maistre, French diplomat & writer (1753-1821)
letter of 13 Aug. 1811
The New York State Assembly (lower chamber) has been controlled by Democrats since 1992 – 33 years, while Democrats have controlled all of State government – the Governor, Senate, and Assembly – since 2018. And in New York City, Democrats comprise the majority of voters in almost every election since 1900: During the 2024 Presidential Election 68% of the votes were Democrat.
With Democrats literally controlling both New York City and New York State for years one might conclude that Democrats could be responsible for many of the problems confronting New York City residents: The highest individual tax burden in the country, a crumbling infrastructure, its’ unaffordable cost of living, rising homelessness, increased non-violent crime, perhaps even the New York Yankees having arguably the worst inning in World Series history (well, maybe not that last item).
So, of course, when election time rolls around and voters complain that a change is needed to solve the city’s problems Democrat voters vote for change by simply electing a different Democrat.
It’s as if they want to continually prove that old adage “Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, but expecting different results.”
And the 2025 NYC Mayoral Election was no different, with NYC voters electing another Democrat, but this time the “change” is that he’s a Muslim, Marxist, and reportedly anti-Semite named Zohran Mamdani who has promised Free Bus Fares, Rent Controls, Childcare for All, and City-run Grocery Stores, all to be paid for by taxing the “Rich”.

Did you know? Of the 4,769,787 million registered voters in NYC (as of 1 Nov 24) only 34% (2,055,921) voted in the 2025 Mayoral Election. Zohran Mamdani received 50.4% of those votes, with Cuomo, Sliwa, Other, and Adams receiving the remaining 49.6%. This means 1,036,184 people voted for Mamdani. Stated another way: Mayor-elect Mamdani has already called his election a “Mandate”. But that’s hardly the case. |
Only time will tell what Zohran Mamdani will eventually do to New York City, and he won’t even be sworn into office until January 1, 2026. In the meantime there’s only one thing to do: SING!
Mamdani Man
(Sung to the tune “The Candy Man”, written by Leslie Bricusse and Anthony Newley for the 1972 film “Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory” )
| Mamdani Man, hey, Mandani Man
“Alright everybody, gather around |
 |
| Who can run for Mayor? (who can run for Mayor?) Looks attractive too (looks attractive too) Full of lots of promises of giveaways for you Mandani Man (Mamdani Man) |
 |
| Who supports the Marxists? (who supports the Marxists?) Even quotes a few (even quotes a few) Wants to tax the rich and then start punishing the Jews Mamdani Man (Mamdani Man) |
 |

 |
| Oh, who can make tomorrow? (who can make tomorrow?) Into a bad dream (into a bad dream) Take away the milk as he collects up all the cream Mamdani Man (Mamdani Man) |
 |
| Bridge: Mamdani Man will make all he’ll legislate Agonizing and capricious Forget about your future wishes You won’t even have your dishes |
|
| Who can make tomorrow? (who can make tomorrow?) Full of problems fast (full of problems fast) Hand you all the sorrow and collect up all your cash Mamdani Man (Mamdani Man) |
 |
| Mamdani Man can ’cause he mixes it with force To make a Islamist of you (makes an Islamist of you) Mamdani Man, Mamdani Man, Mamdani Man |

“If your government is big enough to give you everything you want, it is big enough to take away from you everything you have.”
– – Unattributed saying, cited in print from 1952.
Added Bonus:
Here’s the original, from the movie “Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory”
Note that the shopkeeper spends the entire song giving away his candy to a group of innocent, impressionable young kids who have no idea they’ll eventually be paying far more than it’s worth.
