because the other candidate was seen as an extreme left-winger

That’s been a selling point in Seattle for a long time. Apparently she was just a bridge too far with tweets like these: https://www.twitter.com/ntkallday/status/1287215672372625410 https://www.twitter.com/ntkallday/status/1287215672372625410 https://www.twitter.com/ntkallday/status/1282015687603417089?s=21 https://www.twitter.com/ntkallday/status/1282015687603417089... Or deleted tweets like “I have not taken any of this anti bias training but i for sure hate this country” Keep in mind, 40% of votes went to this candidate. Her campaign manager’s tweets were even worse, going so far as wishing death on (her words) “kkkops.”

    The progressive take at the moment is that law and order is evil, better to have cities like SF where criminal thugs punch sweet old asian women in the street and rob them.

        I mean for 5 years the elections were rigged by Russia, anti-kavanaugh protestors stormed the capitol and senate chambers just 2 years before, rioters burnt down churches and built CHAZ in the middle of multiple cities, bailed out by the current VP - all completely encouraged by one side.

        Storming the capitol and senate chambers seems excessive. “USA TODAY could find no reference to those protesters damaging the Supreme Court or Capitol, which was open to the public in 2018. During the Jan. 6 riot, though, the Capitol and its visitors center were closed to the public” How do you storm something that is open? Also storming implies doing some sort of damage. Storming is a violent attack. It seems most or all of the stuff you wrote are selective out of context exaggerations. The storming example isn’t even technically correct.
