With Chesa Boudin getting recalled as San Francisco District Attorney on Tuesday and with Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascón in the on-deck recall circle, we’re starting to see a bunch of articles calling out rich liberals for actually giving a crap about crime and homelessness and open-air drug use in their communities.
Such as this one in Slate on “how much rich people in LA let pure hatred for homeless people shape their politics. It’s disgusting, depressing, and worrying”:
Teamed up with @jason_koebler to write about how much rich people in LA let pure hatred for homeless people shape their politics. It's disgusting, depressing, and worrying. https://t.co/9DmJWSP322

You see, it’s not a “hellscape” they argue in the article:
Average day for someone who can afford to live in Venice is like – go biking on nice bike path on nice beach; go surfing; buy expensive smoothie; go to nice restaurant; look at Dior fashion show on your block; come across some weird NFT street art. not a bad life, not a hellscape

It’s just that these rich Dems who fund Dems around the country just hate homeless people:
Politics knowers have been asking what the LA primaries mean for democrats. Most of them generally mention public safety and homelessness but there's no need for nuance here: This election was about how much rich people hate homeless peoplehttps://t.co/x89r6ZT2SL

Wait until November then you’ll see some REAL DEPRESSION among Dems:

A different article argued that “white liberal homeowners are playing into the growing rightwing backlash to the George Floyd protest and BLM movement”:
I wrote about the successful Boudin recall, the messy work of meaningful prison reform, and the dispositive role white liberal homeowners are playing in the growing rightwing backlash to the George Floyd protests and the BLM movement. https://t.co/SNnZFSoUQD

And this, apparently, includes true-blue liberal Patricia Arquette who has fallen under our rightwing spell:

What’s amazing to us is all these dude-bro reporters telling women not to be scared walking the streets of their cities. If Patricia Arquette doesn’t pass their purity test, what liberal woman would?
Google home invasion robberies Los Angeles. Google mom and baby hit by car.

Don’t believe your eyes, Patty. Trust the science!
Hum. Sounds scientific.

And this is just the proverbial chef’s kiss:
Patty you’re a fascist
