When it comes to “progressive” policy, yesterday’s absurd joke is today’s serious proposal and tomorrow’s potential law.
You see something in “The Onion” or “Babylon Bee”.
You think “Ha ha ha. That’s funny, but it’s stretching credulity just a tad”
You go on with your life.
A year later, you see the same story – only it’s in the Strib, and it’s Lisa Bender or saying it.
You’ve discovered Berg’s 21st Law.
Cano’s Corollary to Berg’s 21st Law: In Blue city electoral politics, “blue” never gets “lighter” or less “progressive”. There is only one electoral direction – more “progressive”.
A symptom of this is when one sees people just barely to the left of a city’s Overton Window referring to the progressive politicidans and institutions in power as “Conservatives” or “Republicans”.
When Alondra Cano seems like a sane, rational stateswoman, the Frey Corollary is in effect.
(Here are the current examples of Berg’s 21st Law).
