“We all know the old Peanuts comic where Lucy offers to hold the football for Charlie Brown so that he can kick it, then she yanks it away at the last moment and Charlie falls down on his back. She does this constantly and yet, sure enough, Charlie Brown always takes the bait. It has become symbolic of people who are slow to learn obvious lessons — even painful ones. It’s also a metaphor for California Democrats who every year step in a trap set by Republicans regarding the crime issue.” (06/01/25)
