Heather Mac Donald writes about the devastating results of the abdication of law enforcement in California under the misgovernment of “Democrats”.
Quote:
California is being brought down by what one can call the Great Abdication. The law-abiding and the hardworking are no longer the main concern of public officials; instead, the interests of the lawless and the deviant prevail. Policy revolves around their alleged needs, not the needs of those whom they assault and encumber. The result of the Great Abdication has been brazen violence and streets mired in squalor.
Law-abiding residents are migrating to states that still take seriously government’s responsibility for public order, with a net exodus of 700,000 Californians from 2020 to 2022. Only the continued influx of illegal and legal aliens has prevented California’s population from shrinking more than it already has.
The avoidable degradation of the nation’s most beautiful state is heartbreaking. It remains to be seen how catastrophic that degradation must become before officials—and the voters who choose them—reject the Great Abdication and the ideology of antiracism that underpins it.
