He repeated, ad naseum, that Virginians wanted to be a national leader in showing the country what "reasonable abortion restrictions" are. I can't think of anyone who says: "you know what keeps me up at night, not the economy, or housing costs, or school issues, or my kids, or the job market, but whether or not my state of Virginian can be a national leader on reasonable abortion restrictions! I can't sleep." Youngkin acted as if this was THE only issue Virginians cared about, that it was a statewide concern. I suspect his same strategists from the campaign carefully crafted these talking points, and he stuck to them like flies on $hit.

From my online research only about 20% of Virginians claim to be evangelical, leaving 80% not. His claims made no sense, and his "disappointment" is insincere. Politico did a short podcast with his gubernatorial strategists right after the 2021 election that I found fascinating into his "branding". And this latest 15 week shenanigans plays right into it.

Weird that you would say that. Abortion seems to be very much the ONE issue that Democrats obsess over.

Yes, post-Dobbs it is the most important issue for the majority of voters in the country. All of them are pro-abortion.

Oopsie. The Republicans caught the car. Now they are stuck with it.

Interesting - and telling - choice of words. I’m pro-choice. NOT pro-abortion.

DP I am proudly pro-abortion. Some people shouldn’t be born.

Oh no you and that garbage take can take a flying leap and move to Russia

Youngkin lied from day one

1. He’s an election denier when there was zero proof or any evidence of election fraud! Full stop 64 courts under oath hand on Bible Youngkin knew he lied.

2. Loundoun county mess that again all lies non existent crt crap.

3. Youngkin was going to do a six week ban he was caught on a hot mike he’s a liar!

4. Closing schools for covid we had a pandemic you idiot and the Republican Party didn’t care if people were dying. Fact more idiots who listened to Trump died in huge percentages. Hindsight is 20/20 we had a baffoon and liar in the wh we could have kept schools open but you idiots who couldn’t wear non invasive masks kept covid spreading like wildfires when doctors needed time to find cures. This is on Republicans not Democracts.

5. Last but not least Democracy is on the table anyone who voted for any republican is an idiot because when we lose Democracy we lose everything. Not sure why you morons do not understand we will have bread lines and Marshall law and if you think you will keep your guns after Dictatorship installed you really are dumb!

Do you or did you at the time have children in the LCPS? I did (we got the hell out of there this past summer). I saw first hand how deceptive the schools are, covering things up, exposing students to sexually inappropriate materials and on and on. The majority of people, like me, have just quietly packed and left. It’s not like this in other parts of the country for anyone reading this feeling like the county is failing your children. It’s just not… despite the bubble mentality that it’s the best!

What sexually inappropriate materials were your children exposed to? Please be specific

+1

PP said her kids were exposed to "sexually inappropriate materials" at LCPS. What materials in what grades?

This is why I can never take these people seriously. Blah blah, CRT, blah blah, sexually inappropriate materials, blah blah, groomers. But when you ask for specific incidences then it’s crickets.

I'm not that PP, but any person with half a brain would know she is talking about the graphically sexual books found in school libraries. You know, the ones that have been the subjects of many threads already.

Maybe they can provide specific examples of actual books their actual children checked out and brought home from the actual school library?

Or maybe they can't. I think the last time one of my kids checked out and brought home a book from the school library was in sixth grade.

You know kids can simply sit in the library and read books without needing to check them out, right? Which is exactly what many high schoolers do.

Yes, kids certainly can. In which case the poster could say, for example, "My child in [Grade] took [Sexually Inappropriate Book] off the shelf at the school library, sat in the library and read it, then came home and told me about it, and that's how I know."

Well again - I'm not that poster - but that's exactly what my kids both did. So there you go. Happy now?

Which grade(s)? Which book(s)?

High school. Gender Queer, Lawn Boy, and This Book is Gay. So you should be happy that these sexually graphic books are being accessed by kids. That was your mission, no?

There are other sexually graphic books in the library. Why do you only care about the LGBTQ ones?

DP I am happy, yes.

So too is the electorate. That was proven this week.

You can quit whining about this now. You lost. You don’t get to quite agitating.

The electorate was voting for one thing and one thing only, abortion. Not books or schools or crime or inflation or jobs or anything else. That will all come later. So be careful what you do now. The farther you push, the more pushback there will be.

I'm honestly kind of baffled by the idea that everyone voting in the SCHOOL BOARD elections was motivated by a single-issue desire to protect reproductive rights.

Wrong. Virginians aren't thinking about setting a national standard of "reasonable abortion restrictions" because the current law works just fine and nothing needs to change. So no, Virginia democrats (or Republicans for that matter) are not sitting around obsessing about how Virginia needs more restrictions to be a national trailblazer in setting what Youngkin has coined as "reasonable abortion restrictions" when the current status quo works. Period. End of story. And to talk to us like he was giving us what we wanted, is treating Virginians like we are stupid. Nothing needs to change, it's fine as is. But acting like all these "focus groups" told the governor in fact that is a top priority for Virginian (adding restrictions) is from another planet.

I mean, trying to tell voters there is a crime problem on the mean streets of Leesburg was an embarrassing political message, so yeah, they voted on that issue since you tried to make it one.

Inflation wasn’t on the ballot for a statewide race.

Education was, including books and schools. Across the nation, Moms for Liberty types were resoundly rejected. We have voted for things like more equity in our schools, support for LBTQ+ and trans kids, uncensored libraries and all the things you have been complaining about. Especially in Loudoun, ground zero of the national school culture wars - liberals won a 6-3 majority,

So yeah, more than abortion was on the ballot. The right-wing agenda was resoundingly rejected.

But by all means, try to recycle it next year. Please.

I guess elementary schools need to stop teaching about MLK - he basically was the poster child for "fighting against systemic racism"

I am so tired of you backwards morons whose little feefees get hurt when anyone mentions that our white relatives MAY have been terrible to people of color.

I work in a non-profit in the housing space - institutional and systemic racism ARE real, and we are STILL trying to fix the effects of things that were outlawed years ago.

Abortion after 12 weeks is an outdated procedure as everyone can have access to birth control and it's not needed. It's the same reason labodomy is outlawed now that we have new meds and technology.

Nope. You lost. You can try again next time - but you'll just lose again.

Protecting unrestricted access to it, sure. Not finding some “reasonable compromise.”

Voters rejected Youngkin‘s very premise.

+1. Compromise for who? This policy position was beyond bizarre. Everything Youngkin does is carefully curated, deliberate and calculated by his strategists. He didn't organically come up with the phrasing or talking points, and then repeat them over and over and over for months. He is pandering to a small portion of special interest in Virginia when the overwhelming majority of people in the state aren't looking to for a compromise (and I would doubt the pro-life want a compromise either, they want a full ban). His allegations that voters were demanding compromise or change is ridiculous and just plain false.

Then move to Texas. Or Idaho. or some other state with more restrictions. Unless you admittedly don't even live in Virginia and have zero say in the matter.

Oh no you and that garbage take can take a flying leap and move to Russia

Youngkin lied from day one

1. He’s an election denier when there was zero proof or any evidence of election fraud! Full stop 64 courts under oath hand on Bible Youngkin knew he lied.

2. Loundoun county mess that again all lies non existent crt crap.

3. Youngkin was going to do a six week ban he was caught on a hot mike he’s a liar!

4. Closing schools for covid we had a pandemic you idiot and the Republican Party didn’t care if people were dying. Fact more idiots who listened to Trump died in huge percentages. Hindsight is 20/20 we had a baffoon and liar in the wh we could have kept schools open but you idiots who couldn’t wear non invasive masks kept covid spreading like wildfires when doctors needed time to find cures. This is on Republicans not Democracts.

5. Last but not least Democracy is on the table anyone who voted for any republican is an idiot because when we lose Democracy we lose everything. Not sure why you morons do not understand we will have bread lines and Marshall law and if you think you will keep your guns after Dictatorship installed you really are dumb!

Do you or did you at the time have children in the LCPS? I did (we got the hell out of there this past summer). I saw first hand how deceptive the schools are, covering things up, exposing students to sexually inappropriate materials and on and on. The majority of people, like me, have just quietly packed and left. It’s not like this in other parts of the country for anyone reading this feeling like the county is failing your children. It’s just not… despite the bubble mentality that it’s the best!

What sexually inappropriate materials were your children exposed to? Please be specific

+1

PP said her kids were exposed to "sexually inappropriate materials" at LCPS. What materials in what grades?

This is why I can never take these people seriously. Blah blah, CRT, blah blah, sexually inappropriate materials, blah blah, groomers. But when you ask for specific incidences then it’s crickets.

I'm not that PP, but any person with half a brain would know she is talking about the graphically sexual books found in school libraries. You know, the ones that have been the subjects of many threads already.

Maybe they can provide specific examples of actual books their actual children checked out and brought home from the actual school library?

Or maybe they can't. I think the last time one of my kids checked out and brought home a book from the school library was in sixth grade.

You know kids can simply sit in the library and read books without needing to check them out, right? Which is exactly what many high schoolers do.

Yes, kids certainly can. In which case the poster could say, for example, "My child in [Grade] took [Sexually Inappropriate Book] off the shelf at the school library, sat in the library and read it, then came home and told me about it, and that's how I know."

Well again - I'm not that poster - but that's exactly what my kids both did. So there you go. Happy now?

Which grade(s)? Which book(s)?

High school. Gender Queer, Lawn Boy, and This Book is Gay. So you should be happy that these sexually graphic books are being accessed by kids. That was your mission, no?

There are other sexually graphic books in the library. Why do you only care about the LGBTQ ones?

I mean, no, there aren't. Suggestive, yes, and possibly inappropriate. But not definitely inappropriate like the LGBT ones.

Oh no you and that garbage take can take a flying leap and move to Russia

Youngkin lied from day one

1. He’s an election denier when there was zero proof or any evidence of election fraud! Full stop 64 courts under oath hand on Bible Youngkin knew he lied.

2. Loundoun county mess that again all lies non existent crt crap.

3. Youngkin was going to do a six week ban he was caught on a hot mike he’s a liar!

4. Closing schools for covid we had a pandemic you idiot and the Republican Party didn’t care if people were dying. Fact more idiots who listened to Trump died in huge percentages. Hindsight is 20/20 we had a baffoon and liar in the wh we could have kept schools open but you idiots who couldn’t wear non invasive masks kept covid spreading like wildfires when doctors needed time to find cures. This is on Republicans not Democracts.

5. Last but not least Democracy is on the table anyone who voted for any republican is an idiot because when we lose Democracy we lose everything. Not sure why you morons do not understand we will have bread lines and Marshall law and if you think you will keep your guns after Dictatorship installed you really are dumb!

Do you or did you at the time have children in the LCPS? I did (we got the hell out of there this past summer). I saw first hand how deceptive the schools are, covering things up, exposing students to sexually inappropriate materials and on and on. The majority of people, like me, have just quietly packed and left. It’s not like this in other parts of the country for anyone reading this feeling like the county is failing your children. It’s just not… despite the bubble mentality that it’s the best!

What sexually inappropriate materials were your children exposed to? Please be specific

+1

PP said her kids were exposed to "sexually inappropriate materials" at LCPS. What materials in what grades?

This is why I can never take these people seriously. Blah blah, CRT, blah blah, sexually inappropriate materials, blah blah, groomers. But when you ask for specific incidences then it’s crickets.

By the time your child is in High School, I assure you they have access to the Internet one way or another. You sound very naive.

DP. Oh yes, there are. I won't list titles. You can go look at banned book lists for yourself.
