    I suspect Obama sees a lot of himself in Mamdani. A brown kid with big dreams and a funny name, with Republicans calling him a Muslim socialist and frothing at the mouth to “prove” he’s not a real American? It’s like the 2000s all over again.

    Also internment camps, and extraordinary rendition, and drastically expanded government surveillance, and the FBI going after Muslims and leftists, and manufacturing an excuse for regime change in an oil-rich country, EDIT: two oil-rich countries… Yeah, maybe it’s a little too much like the 2000s.
