Would they?
Very easy to believe a bunch of angry New Yorkers taking to the streets over a popular leader getting snatched and dragged off. Hell, folks were out cheering for Luigi Mangione not more than a few months ago. Zohran Mamdani is an even easier sell.
The problem is what they're running up against. The NYPD has a bigger budget than the entire North Korean military, with tanks and planes and automatic weapons to match. And while the city isn't particularly MAGA-inclined (even Curtis Silwa, the GOP nominee for mayor, is a Trump-hater), the current mayor and his friends in the police are fully Trump-pilled.
