Talking about those who traditionally vote Democratic, rather than the party folks. Yes, the party types have moved very far left. But if you want to talk about voters, Democrats in Fairfax tended to be Clinton types, and the Republicans were more pre-MAGA Rubio/Romney types. Rather different from what we've ended up with on both sides - the center has been getting eviscerated. |
Not necessarily a post to take at face value as it could be satire from a right-wing poster. |
Go read the social media of some of the Dem activists on the Boundary Committee. Doubtful that this was from a right-wing activist. |
I doubt it. Our neighborhood moms FB page exploded into that kind of crazy, far left rants, from friends and neighbors posting with their names attached. It resulted in 4 spin off pages: a no politics page, a resistance political page, a pro DEI page, and a "welcoming and inclusive" page for only people with left wing beliefs created by the person who unilaterally decided to make the page political, then got upset when a half a dozen people called her out (among hundreds of left wing posts like the one above, the dozen or so posts asking people to be kind were virulently attacked.) I always thought that kind of crazy left wing stuff was libs of tiktok trolling to stir up people, until I saw it on our large community moms page from hundreds of people in our community posting similar posts or worse from their identifiable facebook profiles, while talking simultaneously about how kind and inclusive they are compared to everyone else. Based on the implosion of our community moms page, I suspect that post is NOT right wing satire. |
They are not the ones who care whether the boundaries change. Though there are some who will get a kick out of people crying about having to live what they've voted for. |
Idk but my property taxes went up 10% and my zoned pyramid (which we love) would make DCUM clutch their pearls. In fact, DCUM regularly uses my pyramid as a negative example. |
Would you want your high school junior to be moved to a different schoo |
I really don't know. I do know that plenty of folks who regularly vote for Democrats are not going to continue to do so if this School Board imposes county-wide boundary changes that are driven by vague equity considerations, and insulting them and calling them closet Republicans will only increase their sense of alienation from the Democrats who currently control the SB and BOS. |
It's satire to say that the Democrats should act according to what is good for the collective when they get elected, instead of embracing the Republicans' "I got mine sucks to be you" attitude? |
Sorry, no. That was absolutely a LWNJ post. |
+100 May I ask what city/town/community you live in? |
|
Yeah, maybe. The whole "collective" thing sounds a bit like a caricature of old-school communism. |
Yes. The masses get bread crumbs while the oligarchy gets caviar. |
Do we have the latest projection as to what boundary changes will occur (especially within the Langley pyramid) and when it will be effective? |
