"Donald Trump will one day be gone, but your dishonor will remain". Never let them forget it. He will go the way of Berlusconi, people who were fervently MAGA will one day deny ever supporting it.

But Mamdani is the deranged socialist/commie/coming of the apocalypse. And this is totally okay because "their side" is doing it.

So much this. I point this out in discussions - that the conservatives I grew up with - friends, family - have become nihilistic moral relativists. The exact dig they made during the W Bush era against liberals seeking greater rights for LGBTQ+.
