PROSECUTORS HOLD a lot of power. They determine criminal charges, recommend bail and sentences, accept or reject plea deals. Their actions, or inaction, affect millions of Americans each year.
But until fairly recently, elections for the more than 2,300 DA offices across the country were low-profile, down-ballot affairs. Candidates worked the radio circuit and hammered signs on street corners. They ran ads and shook hands. But campaigns started to change in 2015 when outside money poured into the Red River bottom lands of Caddo Parish, La., the spot George Soros selected for a test run of his new philanthropic plan. Soros’ beneficiary? Democrat James Stewart, a former judge running for district attorney. On the surface, Soros’ decision to funnel more than $400,000 into Stewart’s campaign, a contest with no statewide significance, seemed strange, but it was really quite strategic. Caddo Parish is known for a high number of death penalty convictions. Soros wanted to get an anti–death ¬penalty DA into office. Prosecutors, after all, decide what charges to pursue and broker plea deals.
The gamble paid off, and Stewart’s win spawned a movement. Soros and other liberal backers realized a relatively small amount of money, in terms of campaign expenditures, could elevate cherry-picked candidates to the top of the heap. What began as a quest to unseat pro–death penalty prosecutors quickly morphed into a much larger objective: revolutionizing a justice system “progressives” maintain is warped by racism and needless imprisonment.

To me this song illustrates musically what the Dems have been doing to this country:
