For her, it's just who ever most recently said a thing she liked vs who who ever is in charge and can be blamed for all the things she doesn't like. She's probably never met a government official she couldn't blame for a cloud blocking her sunlight, and never met a politician that lies if the things they're saying sound nice.
PS. That's not aimed at Mamdani, just Shirley Wong and those who behave like her.
It's almost like conservatives have spent decades chipping away at education specifically so that people wouldn't have critical thinking skills and could be treated like cattle.
More likely she grew up in an environment where this type of thinking was normalized, and to think otherwise was met with social consequences. Outside of a few breakout individuals, most have to be taught early not to take what they're told for granted.
