Isn't the establishment's notion that "success is achievable by anyone"? Why the shaming? If Mamdani was poor, their narative would probably be like: "He couldn't help himself why'd you think he could help you?"
The point isn't to make sense or be consistent.
It's to demonize anyone deemed a threat to the status quo.
The establishment's notion is more like "success only belongs to white conservatives like us"
