The argument that Mamdani is “getting results”—that he secured the release of a detained student—is the most pernicious form of apologetics. It is precisely the argument advanced by Pierre Laval—the socialist turned Nazi collaborator leading Vichy France. But every such transaction strengthens the political authority of the far right. Trump releases one student and detains a hundred more. He smiles for a photograph with the “communist mayor” and uses the image to demonstrate that even his nominal opponents submit to his authority.
