The NY Post has taken up the banner of a mass exodus of MAGA supporters after the election of Zohran Mandani, as the 111th mayor of New York, quoting a Daily News poll that 25% of New Yorkers — about 2.12 million — said they would “consider” packing up and leaving. Staten Island voters led the stampede, with 21% saying they’d go and another 54% considering it. In Manhattan, 6% say they’d flee and 20% are unsure; in Brooklyn, it’s 8% and 18%. The Carolinas, Florida, and Tennessee have emerged as top escape destinations thanks to lower income taxes and property taxes.
That number increases dramatically, if we count their families. Maybe four million, if we are lucky. No one from JP Morgan is leaving after the wealth accumulation powerhouse dropped $3-5 billion on their new Madison Avenue on Madison Avenue. The hoi polloi might leave, but the rich will remain to endure Mandani's socialist regime in their luxury pied-a-terres on 5th Avenue, dining at Le Bernardin and Daniel's and celebrating their other world existence at galas at the various museums. So if you want to go. I understand. The Godless are after your children are after your children. Leave us the keys to your houses and apartments. Remember Ray's Pizza, when you bite into that first slice somewhere else. We thank you for going and leaving us in peace and in the words of Jimmy Breslin.
“When you leave New York you ain't going anywhere.”
