A wave of reckoning is taking place in the settlements on the west coast of the United States: after the voters of the most liberal American city, San Francisco, voted the district attorney general out of his position by more than 60 percent on Tuesday, now the voters of another Californian metropolis, Los Angeles, also expressed their opinion on Black Lives Matter and LGBTQ , and about the activities of the progressive city administration representing the strike direction of the woke movements - the Daily Mail reported on it .

According to the report of the British newspaper, Chesa Boudin, one of György Soros' prosecutors who were brought into office with huge campaign funds across the country, was overthrown by the people of San Francisco in the middle of his mandate, while in the municipal elections held in Los Angeles this week, the majority of voters stood behind Rick Caruso, a billionaire businessman who used to be a Republican. .

Caruso promised to rescue the city, mired in crime and homelessness, from the clutches of leftist leaders. Although he received the most votes, he did not reach the 50 percent threshold, so in November he will have to compete with his left-wing rival, Karen Bass, for the mayor's seat. According to the newspaper's report, two years ago, when the riots started due to the death of the African-American George Floyd threw many cities in the United States into chaos, no one would have dared to express their objections to the progressive politics supporting the new movements.

Today, however, the situation has changed: in Los Angeles, even staunch liberal celebrities such as Gwyneth Paltrow, Kim Kardashian, Katy Perry or the rapper Snoop Dogg supported Caruso.

– highlights the correspondent of the British newspaper in the United States.

As he writes, after San Francisco, the equally radical left-wing Los Angeles district attorney, George Gascon, can also count on his downfall.

The concept of woke (in Hungarian) now takes on a new meaning in San Francisco, the cradle of the hippie counterculture, and in Los Angeles, where you can walk for days without seeing a single Republican.

- says the author.

California analysts indicated months ago that the state's voters had not been so dissatisfied with their local leaders since the late 1970s. In addition, there is a culture war on countless fronts - from transgender rights and freedom of speech to political indoctrination in schools to the question of reparations for slavery - which has spread to Europe after the US states. The article also mentions that during his visit to Los Angeles a month ago, the mayor of London inquired with the city administration about, among other things, how the state decriminalizes the consumption and trade of cannabis. "If Sadiq Khan had come to Los Angeles now, he could have returned to London with completely different lessons," adds the British correspondent.

Caruso, a billionaire Los Angeles real estate developer, has been a Republican until recently, switching to the Democrats for purely tactical reasons. He launched a markedly pro-police campaign, promising to increase the city's police force by 1,500 and to eradicate crime and homelessness. Analysts compare his campaign and objectives to those of the former mayor of New York, Rudy Giuliani, who later turned them into actions and concrete results.

The article explores in detail the conditions prevailing in San Francisco, which shows significant similarities in terms of deterioration to the situation in Los Angeles. According to these

visitors to the city today are greeted by an army of homeless people and the sight of human excrement in the public squares, and there is open drug consumption on the streets.

The number of car thefts, robberies, break-ins and violent crimes, many of which end in death, has also increased by leaps and bounds, and some districts have already become a kind of no-go zone.

Many thieves walk around the stores with calculators, shamelessly calculating how much they can steal with impunity, i.e. up to $950. And others go for the loot with guns.

There are a lot of crimes, but prosecutions fail one after another, the perpetrators remain unpunished and are released.

The stores are robbed by brutal criminal gangs of up to eighty people and they are not picky at all: they rob anything from pharmacies to Louis Vuitton stores, ridding the owners of their goods worth up to 100,000 dollars at a time.

It is no coincidence that several supermarket chains have left the city in recent months, while others are forced to sell basic products such as toothpaste from cupboards protected by bars.

San Francisco has more billionaires and more homeless people per square mile than anywhere else in the United States.

Many of the latter live in huge tent cities, which the authorities try not to disturb. The number of homeless people in California has increased by ten thousand since 2019, many of them are drug addicts. Today, the big Californian city is the wild west of drug consumption, where syringes are lying on the sidewalks, and drug dealers selling heroin or fentanyl are easily recognizable by their black clothes and backpacks.

According to the Daily Mail, even those on the left admit that extreme, "progressive" liberal leaders, who focus on racial issues above all else, are to blame for all of this. Asian Americans have accused Boudin of ignoring racist attacks against them, which many say is evidence that some minorities are privileged over others in the attorney general's eyes.

The city government has created special "shelters" for addicts, who can safely shoot themselves, while providing them with food, medical help, syringes and housing counseling. Of course, this does not improve the consumption and death statistics: an average of two people die from drug overdoses in the city every day. To top it all off, Boudin previously stated:

the prosecutor's office does not want to initiate criminal proceedings against street drug dealers, since "they themselves are victims of human trafficking."

However, the civil resistance against the oppressive woke policy goes beyond the issue of crime, drugs and homelessness, they write. This is also indicated by the fact that in February, San Francisco voters ousted three members of the seven-member board of education that governs the city's schools after they were fed up with their arbitrary behavior.

Chinese-American parents were outraged that the dynamic trio admitted students to one of the city's elite schools not based on ability, but by lottery, claiming that the traditional method was racist.

In addition, the board's vice-president rudely insulted and compared the Asians, who mostly perform exceptionally well in schools, to slaves.

The "perverse priorities" of education leaders became clear when, after the pandemic, they delayed the reopening of educational institutions, citing slavery and the oppression of Native Americans, in order to change the names of 44 schools that were named after US presidents George Washington, Abraham Lincoln and Scottish writer Robert Louis Stevenson. saluted before.

According to the article, this is partly a legacy of the Black Lives Matter movement, as well as the reluctance of the police to enforce the law, especially among African Americans, as a result of the protests. At the same time, due to the termination of funding for law enforcement, police officers are retiring in record numbers, while new ones are not applying to take their place.

As a result, the San Francisco and Los Angeles police departments are both in a recruiting crisis, and their staffing levels remain well below their mandates.

According to the article, similar conditions prevail in Los Angeles under an attorney general who also deals with criminals with a gloved hand. This year, the number of deaths due to violence may be higher than in 2021, when homicide rates hit a 15-year high.

After radical left-wing district attorneys were elected in several big cities in the United States, including New York, with the significant support of George Soros, and the number of violent crimes increased dramatically in the Democratic-led cities of America since the BLM protests, it can be stated:

the woke craze is already spreading far beyond the borders of California

However, the results of the elections held in the state's metropolises send the message to every corner of the country that the madness may end soon, writes a Daily Mail employee.
