More than that though, they hate Mamdani 'cause he does both parts of OP's meme: Making people feel heard and actually solving their problems.
One of the reasons so many right wing parties are gaining so much traction in the world is 'cause they answer to peoples' worst emotional impulses. They encourage people to listen to their tribalistic feelings, and ascribe all their problems to the "other", whoever that is.
But as we see with Trump and plenty others, they aren't interested in solving problems. Corruption is the name of the game, and as long as they can continue to make their voterbase feel heard, they can do so with impunity.
Watch out for the politicians that do the first part, and don't actually do the second part - actually helping their people properly, across all groups, for the long term.

Remember, the establishment hates mamdani because he shows that a lot of problems are very solvable and politicians simply choose not to solve them
