Adams is a former cop, so he doesn't hate cops like de Blasio does. Adams used to be a registered Republican, so he's likely not a Commie like de Blasio. Adams ran in the primary as more of a centrist, beating out the more woke candidates. So while he's a committed Dem in some ways, there's a chance he might bring back some law and order to the city, which is key, and might not spend his time in office trying to destroy the city.
