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

Maybe you could burn a cross in her yard.

What? You think electing a certain candidate is going to result in your child wearing a mask to school forever?

Viruses don't have a political affiliation.

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.

But parents shouldn't. If you only want your child taught in school what you want your child taught in school, then you need to homeschool. Should flat-earther parents control what their children are taught in public school? How about creationist parents? How about parents who want their children to be taught a curriculum that includes the 1619 Project and Critical Race Theory?

If parents of minority children or special needs or … name your topic, then those things would not be taught in schools. That’s how it works.

Ideally I would like actual education experts deciding what is taught - not a partisan school board. Ugh.

Then why should we let anyone except degreed educators raise everyone’s children. Parents are children’s first and primary educators.

It is amazing how many people want to live Brave New World.

Meant to say … If those parents didn’t speak out.

Special needs parents advocated for mainstreaming their kids, AA parents marched their AA kids into schools, …

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.

DP. I’d like to think that first PP was being sarcastic. It’s just behind the pale that a liberal, who of course prides herself in treating all people equally would suggest banning half of Americans from living where they choose.

The sign would tell me that they are not a family we would ever be friends with. I would still be cordial. But I would keep distance. Our kids would definitely not be having play dates.

I wouldn’t even be cordial. Ignoring them and occasional glares would be the best they would expect from our family and neighbors. It is nice though that they have tagged themselves publicly as people to stay away from.

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.

In presidential elections, voting was roughly 50-50 in both 2016 and 2020.

To that argument, maybe the Youngkin sign neighbor is registered as an Independent in Maryland.

Or, maybe it's Virginia where nobody declares a party, in which case, there are zero Republicans by your reasoning.

Nope. That wouldn't work.

<30% of eligible voters voted for Trump.

PP said "half of America" - which isn't the same thing as people who turned out to vote.

LOL "roughly"...

2016:
Clinton: 48.2% vs. Trump 46.1%

2020:
Biden 51.3% vs. Trump 46.9%


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