    It is possible, obviously. It might not be legal, but we all know that doesn’t stop the Trump admin.

    Given the turnout and hype around the election, a riot would ensue if the losers took away citizenship to deprive the winner of their winnings.

          Yeah, I’m not saying it will go well. But that doesn’t mean they wouldn’t try. Trump is most notably a stubborn and stupid person

        That is not a fight they would win. Admittedly, its a fight everyone would lose. But it would be the end of this coup, and possibly the end of the “United” states.

          Wrong. They will do whatever they want, sure. But they will use any justification no matter how flimsy. This is less flimsy. And you’re reacting as if I’m saying what new Yorkers should do but I’m not. I’m simply accurately predicting what we all know trump would do in response.

        I don’t think they have a chance of holding just NYC but I think every major US city would suddenly be in open revolt if they did this.

    A great American city is on the precipice of being run by a communist who has publicly embraced a terroristic ideology,” Representative Andy Ogles from the Republican party said

    What the fuck are these cretins on?

    Is anyone left from Hitler a “communist” now?

      Literally and without exaggeration, yes, that’s what they truly believe.

      They know that nobody with a red hat as EVER read or listened to an actual thing Mamdani has ever said. They could say he flew one of the planes on 9/11 and most of the base would believe it.

    Possible? Absolutely.

    Likely? I dont think so. Stripping a person of citizenship because they are of the opposing party feels like a line in the sand. How do you defend that? At that point its over for America. Like pack it up and every person who is not a straight white christian should be looking to get the fuck out

      Keep in mind we are dealing with the same administration that is throwing a tantrum over being told to feed starving children in their own country.

      They are already abducting and “deporting” US citizens. Your line in the sand has been crossed. Just because they haven’t done it yet to one of your parasocial relationship chosen-ones doesn’t mean it isn’t already happening.

      Well, how do they defend the fact that theyre currently kidnapping US citizens? Id say deporting them but most of these US citizens (mind you they never got a trial) just vanish without a trace. Tbh it seems a lot more likely theyre being trafficked.

    Of course it’s possible. We cannot allow it within our society, and it’s certainly illegal to do so. The only thing that stops the people who uphold the law from ignoring the law is if people actually stand up to it, since clearly our separation of powers has failed us.

      No they won’t, New York has it’s own political capital in the form of a massive city that centralizes international trade and politics, and a tight-knight community around that culture. This is why his election is such a huge deal.

      Whoever in the administration is still talking about this is just babbling nonsense for their base so they can look like they’re big strong tough guys who are fighting the eeeevil brown people communists.

      If they actually made a plan to deport the fucking mayor of NEW YORK it would get shot down by every court in the land. They know this, everyone with a brain knows this, so that should tell you who this narrative is being written for.

        New York is resilient if nothing else. It is a dirty, grimy, hazardous city and you have to learn to look out for each other if you want to survive. If they come after the Zo at this point they will disturb the entire wasp’s nest. The people supporting the fascists are the same ones who are too scared to set foot in NYC on a nicer day

        I say this as a proud New Yorker, but also because fuck fascists
