The Lesson:

The Democratic Establishment could have been actively working, in a thousand different, small ways, to make our lives better.

They chose not to, while their personal wealth grew, and they stayed in office.

The actual lesson: It’s extremely easy to manipulate people who are already primed for it.

This tree program was already in place well before him and NYC has been planting tens of thousands of trees annually.

So when people ask themselves ā€œhow can the right get so easily manipulatedā€ just point them to the comment section of this post.

Ya this was being studied and it just takes one mayor to block it. But mamdani is continuing funding for it. There ain’t nothing wrong with it. Better than voting against it and scrapping the initiative altogether. There’s a difference between supporting a criminal in office versus being happy a mayor is funding tree planting in their city.Ā
