If you remember, a lot of people moved out of NY during covid which left a vacuum to be filled by people that favored Mandani's way of life. I'm talking about the Illegals that flooded NYC.
No voter fraud there people.
Because the people that voted him in were not American Citizens.
But hey, everything is legitimate as long as you don't go looking for the truth.

You can understand why the LEFT wants non US citizens to vote in local elections!
To take over the system.
Far-Left Extremist Groups in the United States
Far-left extremism in the United States largely centers around the notion of correcting an injustice but is otherwise broad in its ideological catchment. CEP has profiled 11 far-left movements either previously or currently active in the United States.
Combined with a desire for violent confrontation and rejection of state authority, some on the far left have used social justice issues such as racial equality and immigration rights as a pretext to engage in violent retribution against symbols of the state. This is most prominently seen today in the use of black bloc tactics during protests, which ideological opponents have seized on to cast black bloc and Antifa as organized and unified groups. Anarchist groups such as the Youth Liberation Front are more organized on a local level but have no cohesive national network linking chapters across the country.* With the May 2022 leak of a U.S. Supreme Court decision to overturn the 1973 Roe v. Wade decision, which established the constitutional right to abortion, a new autonomous network emerged called Jane’s Revenge. Named after the Jane Collective, an underground organization in Chicago that helped women obtain abortions prior to the 1973 decision, the anonymous network has claimed responsibility for vandalism and attacks on anti-abortion clinics around the United States since May 2022.* Online communiques from the network cite a history of extremist violence against abortion clinics forcing the adoption of extreme tactics to maintain their bodily autonomy.* Like ALF and ELF, the members of Jane’s Revenge justify their extremism as the pursuit of the greater good.

The comments tell it like it is. I suppose they feel like the current government is rigged against them and they are it's victims.
People who want to burn it all down, are irrational and self destructive. And I bet some are demonized.
When they do not submit to God's established authorities over them, they are the rebels and 'sons of disobedience' the scripture talks about. Commie revolutions all had a bad end for the ones fighting for that cause and of course the victims of communism, and it went on for decades.

Communism - Socialism deny God's authority
johndaniels.substack.com
Modern discussions often blur the lines between compassion and coercion, charity and compulsion. Many well-meaning Christians have been drawn to socialist and communist ideals, thinking they align with Christ’s concern for the poor and the call to bear one another’s burdens. But when we strip away slogans and examine core principles, socialism and communism stand in stark opposition to the heart of the Christian worldview.
Communism, as outlined in the writings of Marx and Engels, explicitly rejects religion as “the opiate of the masses.” It sees Christian values such as humility, submission, and charity as tools of oppression rather than virtues. The goal of communism is not redemption but revolution. It seeks to tear down hierarchies, including religious ones, and to remake man in the image of the collective state, not in the image of God.
Socialism and communism, by contrast, depend on state force. They confiscate wealth in the name of justice, eliminating personal ownership and leaving no room for voluntary acts of generosity. This removes the moral agency of the individual and replaces the Christian ethic of stewardship with government control.
On the surface, these verses may seem to support collectivist principles. But in context, they reveal something entirely different.
The generosity described was not mandated by the apostles or managed by the state. It was a spontaneous outpouring of love among believers in a time of unique crisis. Many of the new converts in Jerusalem had traveled from distant lands and chose to remain, which created urgent needs for housing, food, and community support. The sharing that took place was a temporary, Spirit-driven response, not a long-term economic system.
This is made clear in the account of Ananias and Sapphira in Acts 5. Peter tells them that their land and money remained their own and at their disposal, underscoring that ownership was not abolished. Their sin was deception, not capitalism.
Furthermore, the model in Acts was never imposed on other churches. Paul never commanded the Gentile churches to collectivize their wealth. He asked them to give cheerfully, not under obligation. The picture in Acts is of a people freely giving out of love, not a government forcibly redistributing in pursuit of equality.
Paul also upholds the dignity of work and the importance of providing for oneself and one’s family. In 1 Thessalonians 4, he encourages believers to live quietly, mind their own affairs, and work with their hands. He does not call for wealth redistribution but for faithful stewardship. In Ephesians 4:28, he tells former thieves to work with their hands so they may have something to share, again highlighting both personal responsibility and voluntary generosity.
Perhaps most clearly, Paul addresses the issue of idleness in 2 Thessalonians 3:10, stating, “If anyone is not willing to work, let him not eat.” This teaching directly contradicts socialist principles that promise equal distribution regardless of effort. Paul’s view of the Church is one where the strong support the weak, but where each person also bears their own burden when able.
Paul organized collections for the Jerusalem Church, but he never demanded it as a policy. He praised the Macedonian believers for giving even beyond their means, not because of obligation, but because of joy. The New Testament presents giving as the fruit of transformed hearts, not the result of economic systems.
In practice, this has led to persecution wherever communism has taken root. From the Soviet Union to Mao’s China to modern-day North Korea, Christian churches have been burned, pastors imprisoned, and Scripture banned. Why? Because the state cannot tolerate rivals, and Christianity presents a King higher than the state.
The history of Marxist regimes is littered with mass graves, gulags, and forced labor camps, all justified by the belief that the ends justify the means. Christianity never allows such justification. It holds that how we treat “the least of these” is a reflection of how we treat Christ Himself.
Christians are called to feed the hungry, clothe the naked, and care for the oppressed, but as an act of love, not compulsion. We follow a crucified Savior, not a revolutionary manifesto. Our kingdom is not of this world.
Why Socialism and Communism Are Antithetical to Christianity
Thanks for reading Theology in Five!

Modern discussions often blur the lines between compassion and coercion, charity and compulsion. Many well-meaning Christians have been drawn to socialist and communist ideals, thinking they align with Christ’s concern for the poor and the call to bear one another’s burdens. But when we strip away slogans and examine core principles, socialism and communism stand in stark opposition to the heart of the Christian worldview.
The Core Worldview Conflict
At their foundation, socialism and communism are materialistic ideologies. They deny any spiritual dimension to human life and see history through the lens of class struggle, economics, and power redistribution. Christianity, by contrast, teaches that human beings are made in the image of God, that sin, not economics, is the root problem of society, and that salvation comes through Christ, not structural revolution.Communism, as outlined in the writings of Marx and Engels, explicitly rejects religion as “the opiate of the masses.” It sees Christian values such as humility, submission, and charity as tools of oppression rather than virtues. The goal of communism is not redemption but revolution. It seeks to tear down hierarchies, including religious ones, and to remake man in the image of the collective state, not in the image of God.
Voluntary Charity vs. Forced Redistribution
A key difference lies in how the two systems approach generosity. Christianity teaches voluntary giving as an act of love and worship. The early church shared possessions, but this was never coerced. In Acts 5, Ananias and Sapphira were condemned not for withholding money, but for lying about a gift they claimed was total. Peter even says to them, “Wasn’t it yours before you sold it? And after it was sold, wasn’t the money at your disposal?”Socialism and communism, by contrast, depend on state force. They confiscate wealth in the name of justice, eliminating personal ownership and leaving no room for voluntary acts of generosity. This removes the moral agency of the individual and replaces the Christian ethic of stewardship with government control.
What About Acts 2 and 4? The Early Church Wasn’t Socialist
Supporters of socialism and communism often appeal to the early chapters of Acts as biblical precedent. After all, Acts 2:44–45 says, “All the believers were together and had everything in common. They sold property and possessions to give to anyone who had need.” And Acts 4:32 adds, “No one claimed that any of their possessions was their own, but they shared everything they had.”On the surface, these verses may seem to support collectivist principles. But in context, they reveal something entirely different.
The generosity described was not mandated by the apostles or managed by the state. It was a spontaneous outpouring of love among believers in a time of unique crisis. Many of the new converts in Jerusalem had traveled from distant lands and chose to remain, which created urgent needs for housing, food, and community support.

The picture in Acts is of a people freely giving out of love, not a government forcibly redistributing in pursuit of equality.
Paul’s Letters and the Preservation of Property and Freedom
The epistles of Paul confirm this understanding. Far from advocating for collectivism, Paul affirms private property, individual responsibility, and voluntary charity. In 2 Corinthians 9:7, Paul instructs believers to give “not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.” Giving is treated as a personal spiritual act, not a government-mandated policy.Paul also upholds the dignity of work and the importance of providing for oneself and one’s family. In 1 Thessalonians 4, he encourages believers to live quietly, mind their own affairs, and work with their hands. He does not call for wealth redistribution but for faithful stewardship. In Ephesians 4:28, he tells former thieves to work with their hands so they may have something to share, again highlighting both personal responsibility and voluntary generosity.
Perhaps most clearly, Paul addresses the issue of idleness in 2 Thessalonians 3:10, stating, “If anyone is not willing to work, let him not eat.” This teaching directly contradicts socialist principles that promise equal distribution regardless of effort. Paul’s view of the Church is one where the strong support the weak, but where each person also bears their own burden when able.
Paul organized collections for the Jerusalem Church, but he never demanded it as a policy. He praised the Macedonian believers for giving even beyond their means, not because of obligation, but because of joy. The New Testament presents giving as the fruit of transformed hearts, not the result of economic systems.
The Deification of the State
Christianity teaches that God is the ultimate authority and provider. Governments are given limited authority to reward good and punish evil, but they are never the savior of society. Communism, however, elevates the state to a messianic role. It promises utopia through revolution, economic control, and the eradication of traditional religion.In practice, this has led to persecution wherever communism has taken root. From the Soviet Union to Mao’s China to modern-day North Korea, Christian churches have been burned, pastors imprisoned, and Scripture banned. Why? Because the state cannot tolerate rivals, and Christianity presents a King higher than the state.
The Value of the Individual
Christianity teaches that every person has intrinsic value because they are created by God. Christ died for individuals, not for collectives. The shepherd leaves the ninety-nine to seek the one. Communism, however, sacrifices the individual for the sake of the collective. If one person must be imprisoned or silenced for the revolution to continue, so be it.The history of Marxist regimes is littered with mass graves, gulags, and forced labor camps, all justified by the belief that the ends justify the means. Christianity never allows such justification. It holds that how we treat “the least of these” is a reflection of how we treat Christ Himself.
Private Property as a Biblical Principle
Private property is not a sin in Scripture. The commandment “You shall not steal” presupposes the right to ownership. Proverbs praises the wise management of wealth and condemns laziness. Paul says, “If anyone is not willing to work, let him not eat.” Stewardship, hard work, and personal responsibility are biblical values. Socialism and communism undermine all three.False Equality and True Justice
Socialist and communist systems promise economic equality but often deliver misery and oppression. Their enforced equality ignores the biblical idea of justice, which is rooted in righteousness, impartiality, and the image of God, not in equal outcomes. Scripture teaches us to care for the poor, but not to abolish the concept of rich and poor entirely. The goal is compassion, not coercion.Conclusion
Christianity has always been countercultural, not by seeking to overthrow governments, but by transforming hearts. When the Church forgets this and becomes seduced by political utopias, it loses its prophetic voice. Socialism and communism offer a counterfeit kingdom, one that denies sin, rejects God, and seeks salvation through force.Christians are called to feed the hungry, clothe the naked, and care for the oppressed, but as an act of love, not compulsion. We follow a crucified Savior, not a revolutionary manifesto. Our kingdom is not of this world.
Verses on those who are disobedient, they do not have a good or Godly end of their life.
Titus 1:16
They profess to know God, but in works they deny Him, being abominable, disobedient, and disqualified for every good work.

12 But what I do, I will also continue to do, that I may cut off the opportunity from those who desire an opportunity to be regarded just as we are in the things of which they boast.
13 For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into apostles of Christ.
14 And no wonder! For Satan himself transforms himself into an angel of light.
15 Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also transform themselves into ministers of righteousness, whose end will be according to their works.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
whose end will be according to their works.
Here the meaning of works is their works according to the flesh, and the devil, not according to the Spirit of God.
Galatians 5:19-21
Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.
Revelation 20 describes those 'whose end will be according to their works.'
11 Then I saw a great white throne and Him who sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away. And there was found no place for them. 12 And I saw the dead, small and great, standing before [c]God, and books were opened. And another book was opened, which is the Book of Life. And the dead were judged according to their works, by the things which were written in the books. 13 The sea gave up the dead who were in it, and Death and Hades delivered up the dead who were in them. And they were judged, each one according to his works. 14 Then Death and Hades were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second [d]death. 15 And anyone not found written in the Book of Life was cast into the lake of fire.
