How should I feel about the fact that my next door neighbors put a Youngkin board on their lawn?

Anonymous
A neighbor put a Youngkin sign next to his all are welcome here sign. I was like like hell all are welcome there. He tries to wave, I don’t make eye contact and keep walking. No I’m not making nice with him or his ilk.

You believe half of America (Republicans) should be banished from neighborhoods???

Will you gather neighbors to agree the neighbor is a witch and hold a trial, then banish her?

Historically, isn't that what the KKK did? Tried to banish or frighten blacks from neighborhoods?

Do you also believe in the boogeyman?

This is so over the top its delusional. Get mental help.





LOL. You think that "half of America" is Republican?

Not very good at math, huh?



If you want to get technical, you’d look at how many people are registered with their party of choice. Many, many people are independent.


Nope. That wouldn't work.

<30% of eligible voters voted for Trump.


The presidential election results in 2016 and 2020 were almost 50-50 between Democrat and Republican.

2016 Election Results (per Wikipedia)

Hillary 65,853,514 (48.2)
Trump 62,984,828 (46.1)

2020 Election Results

Biden 81,268,924 (51.4%)
Trump 74,216,154 (46.9%)




I guess that is "roughly" true.

Less than 30% of eligible voters voted for Trump. Certainly isn't "half of America" no matter how "roughly" you look at it.




I calculate 31% eligible voters were Trump, to 34% Biden using 240m eligible voters from USA Today. Do you imply the other 35% of eligible voters would vote independent? Or Democrat? Where is the support for this??? This just isn't going anywhere credulous. Citing the 30% figure is a perversion of numbers.



Pew had 256m eligible voters.

If you asked (via ballot) eligible voters who they supported, <30% supported Trump. It doesn't matter who the other 70% supported. Bottom line, they didn't support Trump.

A more valid % would be looking at ALL Americans who supported Trump, but that is a more difficult # to calculate. That surely would be even lower than <30%. Think of all of the young people who detest Trump. They will be voting soon.

No matter how you try to manipulate it, "half of Americans" aren't Republican.



Ok. . .

"If you asked (via ballot) eligible voters who they supported," 32% supported Biden. Using your 256m eligible voter figure. "It doesn't matter who the other 70% supported."

See how this is an argument to nowhere PP. You've been had.



Stop trying to dig out of the hole.

No matter how you try to manipulate it, "half of Americans" aren't Republican. Dumb and amoral is no way to go through life.

And finally, by same stupid logic. .

21% of voting age Virginians voted for Governor Northram (D).

I stopped reading when, in typical liberal fashion, you called me a moron simply for objecting to the idea that liberals are talking about expelling conservatives from their neighborhoods. (And I never said half of Americans are Republicans. Before you go around calling intelligent, educated people “morons,” you should take a reading comprehension class.)

As I said, you people are getting worse and worse. I am a law-abiding, tax-paying American and can buy into whatever I want. What’s ironic is that liberals who would (rightly) be appalled by people ganging together to kick blacks out are all for kicking out people who don’t vote for Democrats. It’s beyond shameful.


LOL. Where do you think I said that? I haven't said anything about expelling conservatives.

Not good at math...or reading comprehension. Sad, amoral MAGA.

Why are you trying to insert race here?

You sound insane. For starters, your kid is *3*. Then, *it’s only a mask.* You sound like that blubbering white Karen in the viral video crying about her DD’s teachers not being able to see her beautiful face.

Anyway, what a strange political issue to drive your vote. Weird and fringe.


Not so strange. Masks have germs settle on them and kids breathing that for hours. It is a daily washing for the parents. Chance of getting detention because you pulled your mask down to drink water. Yes kids can manage, but it shouldn't be needed.


Okay, a 3 year is not in public school, so governor doesn't really matter -- there is no VA law that daycares must mask students, so PP is daft in her thinking.

We send our kid to school with 3 masks, and they change throughout the day. Daily washing? Like underwear or socks? Detention for drinking water is not happening, no matter what stories you hear.

Terry McAuliffe isn’t doing himself any favors when he says things like parents shouldn’t control what their children are being taught in school. I’m honestly not happy with either candidate and don’t know what to do on voting day. They’re both appalling.


Are most parents trained educators? Are we giving veto power to every parents, so this one can block biology (GOD!), this one can block math (the Devil's Algebra) and this one can block History (They should be learning the tune to Dixie). Get real, you elect a school board to direct educators, its not direct democracy by parents -- California tries that, and look at how much insanity that has brought them.

You should feel happy that they care enough to be politically involved. If you disagree with their views you can still get along and be civil and maybe set an example for others in the neighborhood.

BS. We had George HW Bush and George W Bush, and I'm 100% sure you would have listed him as "Bush".

You are just a misogynist, own it.

I know. You are only know what you were told. So you wouldn't remember. You don't see the insincerity of the news piece for what it is.

It's math. See:

1.4m voted Northram divided by 6.6m voting age Virginians = 21%.

What does that mean? Not much really. The whole % of eligible voters argument, either direction, is total nonsense used to twist the truth to support a narrative.

DP. The actual number is nonsense? It's just the truth. It can be used to support a narrative, like any other fact, but if you're going to talk about how much support an elected official (of whatever party) has, the number of people who decided to stay home or vote 3rd party is actually relevant.
