Vivek Ramaswamy and Zohran Mamdani: A tale of two Indian-Americans

One of the most famous opening lines in literature comes from Charles Dickens’ A Tale of Two Cities: “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to Heaven, we were all going direct the other way—in short, the period was so far like the present period, that some of its noisiest authorities insisted on its being received, for good or for evil, in the superlative degree of comparison only.”And that’s as apt a description as one can have for Republicans and Democrats after the midterms.

For Dems, it’s the best of times, the age of wisdom has returned and it’s the season of light.

For the MAGA-cannibalised GOP, it’s the worst of times, a winter of despair.
