Democrat-enabled crime and illegal immigration have the winds of political change blowing in the most unlikely of places, the deep blue district of Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) which is shifting red.
With President-elect Donald J. Trump’s electoral landslide over Kamala Harris showing that he has broadened his support since 2020, more Americans are rejecting the ruinous policies of the “Squad” leader and her fellow radicals, and many voters in New York’s 14th congressional district are fed up.
According to the New York Post, Trump increased his support on AOC’s home turf to 33 percent, up 13 points from 2020 and a part of a larger gradual shift away from Democrats in New York, a city that has been ravaged by criminals and flooded with foreigner freeloaders who are overwhelming resources intended for the locals.
Citing figures from the far-left blog Daily Kos, the outlet reported that Trump’s support surged from a meager 22 percent when he was up against Joe Biden to nearly a third in the district which includes parts of The Bronx and Queens.
Trump’s increased support has also been seen across the Big Apple as a whole, with roughly a 15-point swing in his direction. A significant shift considering the city’s fervent support for Democrats and the negative attention from the media during the ongoing legal circus of multiple sham show trials in Gotham’s courtrooms.

“Like the rest of the country, New York City saw a big shift rightward on Election Night as voters soundly rejected the Biden-Harris-AOC record of inflation, open borders and radical progressivism,” GOP spokesman for the state David Laska told the Post.
“The far-left firebrand’s own outer borough district notably overlaps with Bronx neighborhoods such as Throgs Neck and Schuylerville that elected City Councilwoman Kristy Marmorato, the first Republican to hold public office in the borough in nearly two decades,” the outlet reported.
“Everyone sees AOC as a darling of the left, and coming from a district that reflects those politics,” said Jake Dilemani, a Democrat strategist, noting that the part of the borough that the glorified social media influencer represents is “one of the most conservative parts of the Bronx.”
“If you look at the trajectory at how ethnic whites, Asians and Hispanics are voting in New York City, they are rejecting the Democratic Party on quality-of-life issues like crime, like the migrant crisis, and they are blaming it on the Dems,” said GOP political consultant Ryan Girdusky, according to the Post.
Ocasio-Cortez, who is perhaps the most radically left-wing member of Congress, still easily won her reelection bid.
While Trump improved his support in AOC’s district, he did even better on the home turf of another member of the mouthy diva’s “Squad” when he won in Dearborn, MI, the heavily Muslim suburb of Detroit represented by Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI), humiliating Harris whose palling around with “Muslim hating warmonger” Liz Cheney didn’t prove to be a winning message.

Even though Trump resoundingly won, recalcitrant Democrats aren’t going to do anything but quadruple down on the obstructionism and resistance at the expense of their own constituents, further driving them to support Republicans in the future.
