RON DESANTIS DROPS BOMB: Mamdani’s Win Will Make De Blasio Look Like Reagan, Signaling NYC’s Collapse

 

MIAMI, F.L. – Florida Governor Ron DeSantis delivered a scathing and politically potent critique of New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani, arguing that the Democratic Socialist’s potential victory would accelerate the decline of the nation’s financial capital and expose the self-destructive nature of the modern Democratic Party.

DeSantis, speaking on a conservative program, encapsulated his condemnation in a joke that immediately went viral, suggesting that Mamdami’s tenure would make the controversial administration of former Mayor Bill de Blasio appear to be a period of conservative prosperity.

THE JOKE THAT EXPOSED A CRISIS 🤯

 

The core of Governor DeSantis’s message was a high-stakes prediction of institutional failure, placing the New York race in the context of national ideological warfare.

DeSantis expressed disbelief that Mamdani, who he identified as a socialist, was a viable candidate for mayor of the “financial capital of the world.” He then delivered the line that has dominated political discourse:

“I already know that if he gets elected, real estate in Palm Beach is going to go up even higher. He’s going to make Bill de Blasio look like Ronald Reagan.”

This comparison, while humorous, underscores a serious accusation: that Mamdani’s governing philosophy is so chaotic and economically destructive that it will make the governance failures of the recent past seem quaint.

 

1. A “Real-World Experiment”

 

DeSantis framed Mamdami’s potential election not as a local issue, but as a “real-world experiment” that voters nationwide would observe. This aligns with the long-standing Republican strategy of using Democrat-run cities as cautionary tales of progressive policy.

Mamdani, who mixes “leftism with Islamism,” champions ideas that DeSantis argued have “failed every time it’s been tried.” For the Governor, a Mamdani victory would serve as undeniable proof that the Democratic Party stands for decline, division, and economic lunacy.

 

2. The Stark Contrast: Florida vs. New York

 

The Governor’s commentary is consistently predicated on the successful contrast between his state, Florida, and failing blue states. DeSantis made it clear that while New York suffers under progressive policies, Florida is actively recruiting the skilled labor fleeing these conditions.

Florida (Clarity): DeSantis champions policies that focus on flourishing: backing the police, offering a “ recruitment bonus” for law enforcement officers fleeing hostile cities, stabilizing the economy, and refusing to allow street mayhem.
New York (Chaos): Mamdani represents the opposite: defunding the police, allowing the takeover of roadways, and focusing on non-essential issues while core city services collapse.

DeSantis’s point is that the “giant population transfer” from states like New York to Florida is a direct result of this contrast. High-income residents, knowing they would be “insane not to go,” will flee to protect their finances and safety, leaving the working and middle class—who will be forced to shoulder a heavier tax burden—to leave next.

 

THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY’S “MOON WING” PROBLEM 🌙

 

DeSantis argues that the radical left—the “Moon Wing”—has seized control of the Democratic Party, creating an environment of ideological paralysis where moderates are too scared to speak up.

 

1. Cowardice and Control

 

Kennedy claimed that moderate Democrats are not afraid of figures like Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, but of “Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.” This fear ensures silence and complicity with radical ideas:

Ignoring the Base: DeSantis notes that a vast majority of voters feel the Democratic Party is “out of touch,” prioritizing radical social issues and the rights of criminals over the “80/20 and 90/10 issues” like law and order, safety, and stable energy prices.
The Inmates Running the Asylum: The crisis is exacerbated by Democratic leaders like Schumer being more concerned with maintaining their own political power against primary challenges (like AOC) than with passing clean governance legislation. This results in the “whole country being held captive to AOC’s polls.”

 

2. The Culture of Dishonesty

 

DeSantis strongly criticized the culture of pervasive dishonesty among progressive figures, referencing their inability to acknowledge their lies even when caught.

The Mamdani Lie: Mamdani’s claim that his “aunt” (actually a cousin) was afraid to ride the subway after due to her hijab, despite her not living in New York at the time, was presented as evidence that these candidates “make up things” and lie “in the name of the revolution.”
The Newsom Lie: DeSantis also attacked Governor Gavin Newsom for lying about his privileged background, painting himself as a “latch-key kid” despite his family’s vast wealth. This kind of serial dishonesty, DeSantis asserted, is endemic to the progressive mindset, which chooses political performance over factual truth.

DeSantis quoted psychologist Jordan Peterson to explain this phenomenon: that for some political figures, there is a disconnection from the future self, meaning they don’t feel the consequences of their lies tomorrow, just as they don’t feel compassion for others today. They lie because it serves the “purpose of right now.”

 

CONCLUSION: CHAOS VS. CLARITY

 

DeSantis’s ultimate conclusion is that Mamdani’s success—however short-lived—is a clear warning sign for the nation.

The choice presented to American voters is stark: “a divide of crazy control communist lunacy with a dash of jihad” (representing the Democratic left) versus a government that refuses to decline, focusing instead on flourishing and freedom.

By making the fate of New York City the subject of a national political joke, DeSantis has amplified the stakes of the ideological battle, reminding voters that the “extinction-level event” faced by the Democratic Party is a direct consequence of their abandonment of common sense and integrity.

The question is not whether the collapse will occur, but whether voters will learn the lesson before it’s too late.

What do you think is the biggest vulnerability for Mamdani: the financial/legal issues or the policy platform itself?
