OK.
Once we’re all done setting our hair on fire and wringing our hands about the latest crop of anti-American, Jew-hating, Communist revolutionaries who’ve just grabbed political power, let’s look at the upside.
Hardly anybody voted for them.
And they give Republicans a golden opportunity — if the party can get its act together, and if conservatives and sensible centrists can be persuaded to get off their couches and actually vote — and vote strategically.
No more sitting on the fence.
In the bid to save New York — and the nation — apathy is as much the enemy as the DSA, for Democrats and Republicans alike.
This is the chance for New Yorkers to get behind the underestimated gem running for governor, Bruce Blakeman.
He is the antidote to the anti-American poison emanating from Albany and City Hall.
But first to apathy.
The three Democratic Socialists of America candidates endorsed by Mayor Mamdani received a grand total of 125,000 votes, representing 3 percent of all registered Democrats in New York City.
Darializa Avila Chevalier (NY-13), a community organizer born in the Dominican Republic who wipes her ass with the American flag, will ride into Washington, DC, with fewer than 33,000 votes, representing less than 9 percent of eligible registered Democrats in that district.
That would barely fill Yankee Stadium.
Only 18 percent of Democrats in NY-13 even bothered to turn out to vote in the primaries Tuesday.
It’s the same for Texas native Claire Valdez (NY-7), a union organizer who wants to grant citizenship and voting rights to illegal aliens.
She netted a measly 36,961 votes — or 10 percent of eligible votes.
Brad Lander (a longtime DSA member who nominally quit the faction but for all intents and purposes is DSA), the Missouri-born former progressive former NYC comptroller, Mamdani enabler and self-loathing “As a Jew” Jew, did the best of the three but still only eked out a paltry 55,000 votes to knock off Rep. Dan Goldman in the high-profile Manhattan and Brooklyn race.
That’s less than 16 percent of eligible registered Democrats.
The rest just stayed home.
The DSA victory is a triumph of community organizing, not of grassroots populism.
These people aren’t even from the communities they organize.
They’re not even from New York.
Two of them, including Chevalier and Uganda-born elitist Mamdani, weren’t born in this country.
No, this isn’t about “authenticity” or “conviction” or a “movement.”

It was a sheer back-room numbers game in which the insurgent fringe easily toppled a complacent Democratic establishment that believed it had successfully gerrymandered and rigged its way to permanent rule and took New York for granted.
The commies got a handful of votes in a city of 8.5 million.
They are going to Washington as New York representatives, but they are as representative of New York as a pebble is of an avalanche.
Their momentum is driven in large part by delusion and hopeium, burnished brightly by the sorts of Ivy League millennials who populate elite newsrooms.
Take the NYT’s breathless description of Mamdani “hopscotching” among victory parties Tuesday night wearing a smile of “disbelief” like he was taken unawares by the manipulation of low voter turnout.
“His aura of invincibility . . . buoyed by recent weeks of Knicks-related elation — transferred to the candidates he endorsed, helping catapult [them] to victory . . . The primary underscored the movement’s force, but also that of the man . . . This movement’s leader has a pretty obvious and singular charisma.”
Primary night festivities were “a celebration of how the mayor’s popularity has rippled outward [but] also a reminder of just how much the mayor himself commands a room . . . When he walked into Ms. Valdez’s party, some of his supporters looked so overcome they could barely speak.”
Oh, please.
Keep your hat on.
America doesn’t want the crazy policies Zohran and the commies are championing: Open borders. Medicare for all. Abolish ICE. Defund the police. Abolish prisons. Transgender surgery for all. DEI. Racial apartheid. Crime and disorder. Pond scum in the Reflecting Pool.
Americans are not into tearing down everything that made America great, and ultimately destroying Western civilization.
Even those of us who were not fans of Goldman, the Levi Strauss heir and once shining star of the Democrats who has just been ignominiously turfed out of Congress by Lander, will defend him against the vile bigotry of Poetica Coffee.
The filthy coffee shop in Brooklyn, which keeps being cited for hygiene issues, banned Goldman after he bought a cup of coffee there because he is deemed to be a supporter of Israel.

Good for Goldman.
He never seemed comfortable in the role of a wannabe Shifty Schiff, trying to defend Biden family lies in committee hearings.
But Goldman sold his soul to the Democratic Party, and its leaders used him up, spat him out and stomped on his political grave, because they were too lazy or gutless to fight against the DSA parasite colonizing them.
But low voter turnout is the tool the DSA uses to grab power, and it can just as easily be turned against them.
Their victory is as fragile as a puff of smoke, but only as long as the silent majority wakes up and takes the reins from the fringe riders.
For starters, in New York, every conservative, moderate, and vaguely rational person needs to register strategically as a Democrat so they can vote for the non-commie candidates in Democratic primaries.
The primaries are the election in deep blue districts.
Of course, that requires you to get off your backside and vote.
You can vote for whoever you like in the general election.
Secondly, vote for Blakeman as governor.
He is a competent moderate who has transformed Nassau County into the best-run — and safest — region of the state, governing for four years without a tax hike, killing a $150 million tax hike that his predecessor, Democrat Laura Curran, had planned before leaving office.
He doesn’t waste time on ideological pursuits.
His mission is all about making New Yorkers “happy again” with affordable, safe, family-friendly policies.
Blakeman is New York’s best chance to clip the wings of Mamdani and his anti-American goons.
Make Kathy Hochul pay for aiding and abetting the Communist revolutionaries who have colonized her party.
She endorsed Mamdani.
She owns this result.
She and the rest of her spineless fellow establishment Democrats allowed their party to be invaded by the “Algae Democrats” — vandals who seek to spread out and destroy anything that is good and beautiful in this country — like the lunatics trying to destroy the Reflecting Pool in Washington DC by feeding the algae and ripping off the lining, just to spite Donald Trump.
They have handed a gift to Republicans.
It’s time to use it.
