I honestly thought Virginia had moved on from its horrific past. Now it seems it is not too far from some Midwestern state or a southern state. In between bouts of rage and anger, I’m now actively searching for better states to live. VA and its idiotic electorate deserve no more of my family’s money.

Go to California. It's become a one party state. I don't see it ever becoming conservative.

Sorry, you lost me and I hope you lose others with your race baiting

And yet you’re perfectly fine with Donald’s position on race? OK cool. We know now not to give a flying F**k what you think.

Did I say I was okay with his position on race? lol. I never voted for him or any republican so they didn't lose my vote, genius

If you’re voting for Republicans - the party that made its platform “Donald Trump” (literally) - you’re ok w/ their position on race, moron

Do you also say that to the blacks, latinos, and asians who voted Youngkin?

Yes, I do. And if you think it’s impossible for a black person to vote for a candidate who will not act in the best interests of black people generally…you’re not quite understanding reality.

Wait, what positions on race are we talking about here? What are the Republican positions on Asians exactly?

Honest answer: republicans see Asians as a useful tool to dismantle affirmative action.

That’s pretty much it.

No truer words have ever been written on DCUM.
The sad part is they go along with it and think that Republicans actually care about them.

So what are democrats proposing? More of the lefists policies by taking away the opportunity from hard working kids? No thanks.

Actually, Asians see Republicans as the party that will protect them from the discrimination served up by the Dems these past few years.

Ugh…why do you make such pointless posts? No one said all different political outlooks are stupid or harmful. We are just saying that trying to end democracy is stupid and harmful. And that’s exactly what Trump and many republicans tried to do in 2020. Or was suing to disenfranchise millions of voters in several states, calling the SOS of GA to try to ‘find more votes’, pressuring DOJ (with the help of congressmen) to investigate false claims of voter fraud and then, ultimately, trying to pressure the VP to NOT CERTIFY despite the fact that he HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO DO SO not enough for you?

Me: I care about school choice, don't want to pay even more in taxes as a W-2 earner, and don't think we can actually replace cops with social workers without seeing spikes in violent and property crimes

You: SO YOU WANT TO END DEMOCRACY AND LOVE TRUMP?!

I mean, that is how it works though. Trump = Republican Party. It’s that simple. They made him he platform and he’ll be your nominee for 2024.

In terms of VA, it was the Dems who made Trump the platform/biggest talking point. I don’t think he will be the nominee in 2024.

God I wish I could bet you money on that.

Dear - prediction - republicans aren’t even gonna bother w/ a primary for 2024 if Trump is alive. YOu’re just gonna hand the nomination to him

BUT it is really disingenous IMO to say its presence is a totally hallucinated concept in schools. AND voters knew that.

Wow. This is spot on.

Once again, we should be holding Rs accountable for their own bad behavior. Not blaming it on the Ds for not correcting the Rs appropriately.

The Rs insisted on using the term CRT even though it was debunked countless times.

The Rs lied about what is being taught - schools were not teaching that "white people are bad" or pushing reverse racism.

And yet you want to put this bad R behavior on the Ds?

Just come out and openly say that you don't want to teach about systemic racism. And you don't want to promote diversity and inclusion. Stop hiding behind the fake "CRT" label.

This is exactly what got Youngkin elected.

What are you referring to exactly? Republicans are against equity being discussed in schools but never articulated why. Can you blame democrats for jumping to the obvious conclusion? If democrats are wrong, Republicans should explain what they mean.

Because the entire notion of “equity” is wrong and counter to American values. It’s “equality” that we hold dear.

That doesn’t really answer my question. Why is a discussion of racial equity in schools wrong?

I'll believe that, when I see Republicans actually trying to dismantle affirmative action. Largely it is Asians that are pushing the issue, and the Republicans are ignoring them, and largely not campaigning for Asian votes at all. Republicans could do much better in Loudoun and Fairfax if they ran against affirmative action.

Only affirmative action should be equality not equity. Educated leftists and Teachers unions supported by VDOE have made a mess by bring race into schools.

D's bought race into school with equity and divide society on racial lines for their vote, and its amazing to see Rs beat D's at their own game.

OMG. The Ds wanted to have better outcomes for all kids. So disgusting.

LMAO.

I didn't even see the tagline. I was laughing at the fact that he locked his account down like those Dem staffers who allegedly pulled off the stunt in front of Youngkin's bus. BTW when's the FBI going to release that report?

I don't know. I think Asians are all over the map politically. Asians are hardly a monolith and their experiences immigrating to this country are very different. Also, they are also all over the map in terms of religion and how religious they are.
