Yeah, I suspect things will reach a breaking point and the pendulum will swing back.

Just look at all the organized retail crime in Northern California. There's a new article pretty much every day about groups of 20+ coordinating mass retail thefts.

Voters explicitly put into place DA and laws that basically decriminalized crime, and now are bearing the fruits of that.

Don't think voters will continue voting for those policies now that repercussions being seen and lived.

- I really hope you are right, but I am not expecting this. Unfortunately, average voter (both on the left and right) seems to be willing to reject realities of cause->effects if they conflict with their identity.
