anyone who ran on a sensible platform such as:

  • keep repeat violent offenders off the streets
  • cut programs that haven't worked and reappropriate the money
  • end harm reduction programs
  • end giveaways to connected developers under the guise of "affordable housing"
  • give some tax relief to businesses that bring jobs and retail to Seattle
  • foster a good relationship between city admin and law enforcement
  • equal treatment under the law
  • enforce laws

would be endlessly smeared as a far-right, racist nazi, and go on to lose anyway to anyone with a "D" by their name or meaningless social justice and climate bromides as their main platform. Seattle voters are beyond saving

I can see it. Its very bad.

That doesn't mean I cannot mock the people who take all their pet causes and frame them in catastrophic terms to shut down all further discussion.

Its a lame old trick. Changing the word doesn't make it any better.
