If you\u2019re looking for a reason to feel even a touch hopeful after seeing the most radical Democrat Socialists sweep New York\u2019s Democratic primaries, consider the following number: Eight.<\/p>\n

Read more Trump gets into shouting match with Sen. Bill Cassidy over Iran war in closed-door meeting<\/a><\/p>\n

That, roughly, is the percentage of all residents in the 13th<\/sup>\u00a0congressional district that cast their votes this week, giving Darializa Avila Chevalier a commanding victory over the incumbent, Adriano Espaillat.<\/p>\n

Remember that next time some breathless pundit tells you that the Big Apple is turning full Commie red: the people who voted for Chevalier last night are in the absolute minority.<\/p>\n

And that is either very good or very bad news, depending on how you look at it.<\/p>\n

The bad news first: the primaries show us, as if those of us who live here needed any more proof, that New Yorkers are very hard to impress.<\/p>\n

Having the mayor call pro-Israel advocates \u201cmonsters\u201d just this Sunday while saying nothing about Hamas apparently wasn\u2019t enough to propel people to get out and vote against his hand-picked choices.<\/p>\n

In part it\u2019s because the candidates this year were, let\u2019s be honest, nobody\u2019s idea of exciting.<\/p>\n

But in part it\u2019s because so many of us New Yorkers, bless us, live in fantasy land.<\/p>\n

We remember a time, not too long ago, when the streets were safe and clean, and you didn\u2019t have to worry about getting stabbed on the subway by some maniac every time you took the train.<\/p>\n

And we assume that New York is always going to be all right no matter who runs it, because hey, New York is magical and it\u2019s somehow bigger than the sum of its politicians.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not.<\/p>\n

New York is a real city, and one that\u2019s very complex to govern.<\/p>\n

And if left to nutjobs who say things like \u201cI forgot to get napkins so I just wiped my hand on the American flag\u201d (that would be Chevalier), it may soon crumble beyond repair.<\/p>\n

This shouldn\u2019t be too hard for normal New Yorkers to comprehend.<\/p>\n

Which means we\u2019ve got a massive silent majority on our hands still slumbering, still refusing to see the very real danger these hateful candidate pose.<\/p>\n

Which brings us to another bit of bad news: No one seems ready, willing or able to organize this massive silent majority into a viable political force.<\/p>\n

Not the Jewish community, the nation\u2019s largest, which for years has pretended like it could still wield some political influence even as the only party they considered supporting, the Democrats, turned increasingly more hostile.<\/p>\n

Not the Republicans, who have continuously failed to produce attractive, viable candidates that could at least give a voice to people\u2019s frustrations the way Spencer Pratt did in Los Angeles before he was trampled by the Democratic Party machine.<\/p>\n

And that, hallelujah, is very good<\/em> news.<\/p>\n

Why? Because it means we have a tremendous, generational opportunity to truly remake New York.<\/p>\n

As this week\u2019s primaries make clear, the winning strategy of the Democratic Party these days is singular and simple: We hate America. That\u2019s it.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s no longer about pretending to care about the cost of housing, or immigration, or even dunking on Trump.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s about parading around like third-worldist would-be revolutionaries and saying vile and vicious things about the flag, the country and the American way of life.<\/p>\n

Rampant Jew-hatred is part and parcel of this approach: Knowing full well America is not the kind of benighted hellhole where refusing a Jew service at a coffee shop \u2014 as a Brooklyn establishment did recently to Dan Goldman, the sitting congressman who just lost his reelection bid to Mamdani crony Brad Lander \u2014 is tolerable, the radicals push for more performative bigotry to test the limits.<\/p>\n

They want to let us know that they\u2019re in control now, and that they hate us and everything we stand for.<\/p>\n

And a looney strategy like that should still be plenty easy to defeat in America.<\/p>\n

Which means that the Republicans, if they wise up, should have plenty to work with.<\/p>\n

If the GOP goes on the offense locally, investing, say, in minority groups who are beginning to realize the catastrophe that is Mamdanistan, it could win big.<\/p>\n

Rally up Hispanics who believe in family values, not radical laws requiring we refer to mothers as \u201cgestating parents.\u201d<\/p>\n

Rally up Chinese landlords being squeezed by insane rent policies that rob them of the fruits of their labor.<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

Rally up black New Yorkers who refuse to see themselves as perpetual victims.<\/p>\n

Rally up Jews who are no longer willing to walk into a coffee shop and wonder if they\u2019ll soon be kicked out just for being who they are.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s a great, diverse coalition of fed-up folks out there.<\/p>\n

Whoever figures out how to mobilize it is going to make New York City great again.\u00a0<\/p>\n
