HOPE

You say you need some hope?  Well, the Second Great Woke which is on it’s way.

I am indebted to Tom Peterson for making me aware of a February 10, 2024 Wall Street Journal article which has enabled me to bring you this glimmer of hope. The article is titled “Tech Millionaires Take On Politicians in a Fight to Fix San Francisco.”

The articles describes the way in which the local tech giants have usually stayed out of local politics and how that is changing in this case. Big tech money was heavily involved in the recent recall of the San Francisco District Attorney and the successful recall of some school board members.  It further describes a number of current efforts, including the goal  to elect a number of more moderate Democrats to the Board of Supervisors this year. What precipitated  this is the decades long decent of the City to an ever more “progressive” left wing extremism. The result has been the depressingly long list of current problems and the general decay of the quality of life and safety of the City.

The reason for hope is that this kind of political development in the Democrat political ghetto of San Francisco is a major big deal. Of course, people like us know that the best and fastest way to make the changes needed in San Francisco would be to elect five or six Republicans to the Board of Supervisors and a few more to other City offices. But you have to be happy right now with this movement. The same kind of development is possible for the Democrat political ghetto of California. Revolts big and little can and do happen. Remember the Proposition 13 revolt and the election of Arnold Schwarzenegger. The general citizenry does eventually wake up and this will happen again in California. The political pendulum is going to swing in California and the longer it takes for the awakening the more extreme will be the pendulum swing to the right when it comes. Be patient, the Second Awakening is on the way. It will be a lot more fun than the first WOKE we have all lived through and now is almost over.
