That's the problem with pendulums, once they get to swinging with decent momentum, they can come back in ways undesired.

And with some of these DA's getting recalled, it's a bit more than that. Pamela Price, for example, had all kinds of things to say about actual murder cases where the community just could not believe their ears. She stood on radical ideology, and an area full of liberal voters went, "Newp!"

Voters thought they were getting a somewhat amorphous "We'll be less draconian and less eager to ruin lives over nothing" and they actually got "What if By Any Means Necessary ran for office in human form?"

And that was an real easy hard pass for people.
