For nearly eight years, being a Democrat mayor in a blue city has been relatively easy; however, significant opposition from liberal mayors in sanctuary cities to Donald Trump's deportation policies signals a potential shift towards the right. This trend is exemplified by the recent election results in San Francisco and Oakland, where mayors were ousted due to voter dissatisfaction with escalating crime rates.
For the better part of the last eight years, being a Democrat mayor in a bright blue city has been a pretty easy job. As long as they beat their chests and swore to oppose MAGA, it didn’t matter how bad things were getting, these leaders of the left would be dutifully reinstalled.
One does not expect San Francisco to be the place where a national shift to the right in American cities begins, and yet, as soon-to-be former mayor and progressive darling London Breed will tell you, that’s exactly what just happened. It also occurred in Oakland, where lefty Mayor Sheng Thao was shown the door by voters fed up by the same crime that ravages the city across the bay.
don’t know if Joseph voted against Breed, but it sure as hell wouldn’t surprise me. Democratic mayors like Denver's Johnston need to wake up to the fact that the border crisis is just as destructive to quality of life as the pro-crime policies Breed and Thao were punished for, because the open border literally is a pro-crime policy.
If Johnston and Democratic mayors like him wish to avoid the ignominious fate of London Breed and Thao, then they should open their eyes and realize that helping Donald Trump make their cities safer is actually what voters want them to do. The American people, even in our most liberal cities, do not want four years of bloody resistance to Trump. They already had that. They want a border that is secure and an immigration policy that works.
