CNN Special - Moms who voted for Biden explain why they voted for a Republican(Youngkin) in Virginia

[Anonymous]

The GOP / Koch organizations are forcing these "issues" by sending in professional organizers to local “grassroots” parent groups.

For example, Parents Defending Education is full of Koch associates and Trumphumpers:

For the poster who said she wasn’t familiar with Newsmax. Their White House correspondence just got banned from Twitter for claiming the vaccines contain a luminescent tracker.

People need to feel valued. Bottom line.

Nah - I just know when to listen to the experts - unlike the FCPS school board - when the health dept. approved of the hybrid plan to open in Summer 2020.
But I do have particular educational expertise as well, haha.

Please provide evidence of this as I couldnt find any announcement besides this https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/education/fairfax-schools-fall-coronavirus-plan/2020/06/24/2eacfe92-b62d-11ea-aca5-ebb63d27e1ff_story.html which happened in June 2020 allowing students to either be 2 day in person or full remote.

"Youngkin has sourced much of his fiscal agenda from Stephen Moore, a writer and TV commentator who advised former President Donald Trump on his signature tax legislation, the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. Moore, a proponent of supply-side economics, also helped shape a set of deep tax cuts that former Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback implemented in 2013, promising a host of benefits for the state's economy. The cuts quickly devastated Kansas' budget, and the legislature overturned them in 2017."

The guy behind the Kansas tax cuts? That's scary.

And the cognitive dissonance is insane.

They want the governor to micromanage school districts and implement MORE regulations but... also don't want mandates.

McAuliffe was going to micromanage school boundaries and local zoning.

If Youngkin merely sets powers back to February 2020 it’s a win for local parental freedom influence.

So you don't want Youngkin to micromanage? Make up your mind.

You don’t get it do you? We voted for Youngkin because he is for parents, not the government, leading the schools

What do you think that means? What is actually going to change if "parents are leading the schools"? How specifically will that work?

Translation: When hundreds of parents protest things like CRT in various ways - everything from simple emails to teachers/ principals complaining about curriculum, to showing up a school board meetings in an organized fashion - we will be listened to. Thankfully. These are community schools and should reflect the values of the community.

And likewise when LGBT organizations and BLM protest school board meetings they will be listened to as well.

It is school, just not the CRT stuff or vaccine or mask mandates. They’re angry that schools stayed closed for as long as they did and that the Democrats seemed dismissive of parents’ concerns about the resulting disruption and learning loss. I certainly understand their concerns but they do come off a bit self centered… like all that matters is them and their family, not the healthcare workers or teachers or the medically vulnerable. I think Democrats’ biggest mistake wasn’t necessarily closing schools, but for not showing more concern about the fallout now. Terry couldn’t even manage to fake it. He just didn’t connect with suburban women as much as he needed to.

School closures are going to come back to haunt Democrats across the country.

And so much of the Democratic leadership is completely clueless as to how much they've pissed off a large, involved demographic.

Before this pandemic, the only people who cared about what boards of education did were a small group of slightly odd people. Now, all over the country, school boards are on notice that parents are watching them.

And Terry would fire them for not being vaccinated.

Only the Democrats believe that during a terrible pandemic, we can afford to fire healthcare workers for choosing to opt out of a new vaccine/drug.

What a stupid comment.

Is it just one poster who keeps spamming about "Trump humpers" and "Trumpies"? Do you have any idea just how many people voted for Youngkin who were not Trump voters? You seem incredibly bitter - and out of touch.

These aren't average moms. They are part of a fake astroturf campaign meant to fuel divisions.

Keep calling white women Karen democrats in your veiled misogynistic way and this is what happens.
