The voters, even in liberal cities and states, are beginning to rebel at progressive extremism.

There is some truth to what you say.   The New York Times article on the recall, which is the one I linked and quoted above, portrays this as a rebellion against progressive extremism, while CNN's article on the recall portrays it as a Republican plot to take over the country.  The difference in the two articles is quite striking.

What I take away from the whole thing is the rising power of the Asian-American vote.  Asian-Americans are being subjected to discrimination in higher education because they are over-achievers.  Progressives, backers of so-called "diversity" are trying to limit the number of Asian-Americans who are admitted to elite colleges and universities, and Asian-Americans are getting pretty upset about it.  There was an unusually large number of Chinese language ballots issued for this recall.
