We're not bringing out the Central Park Guillotine with this primary win, but they legit believe that they can't safely live in New York anymore. Like they don't have layers upon layers of social protections to insulate them from their consequences.

I mean it makes sense the way they regard homelessness, but to see them buying all of these lies wholeheartedly. To be that out of touch with reality.

I still see them as evil more than foolish, but damn what a waste of the time and resources at their disposal. What an utter lack of curiosity. They could've gotten the best education in the world to leverage their power in the most effortless ways, but they see a mayor winning a primary and they're heading for the hills.

This is a win, but still. Weird.

They think the poor are going to rise up and abuse them, because that's what they've done with their power. Now that they are about to lose their power, they assume the new power holders will treat them the same way they treated others. They think everyone else is as evil as they are.
