Actually non college educated white women came out in droves for Youngkin. So it can be inferred with a fair degrees of confidence that his voters were defiantly not of superior intelligence, based upon that one little factoid, not to mention that they were so easily encouraged to vote against their own self interests. So yes the lack of a college degree. Especially when we are talking about white women in this area is a pretty good indication of a less than average level of intelligence.   superior but by definition definitely more intelligent, you do know that white women without a college definition came out in droves for Yoingkin.

I’ll never understand why people vote against their own self interests. If you only knew just how insulated people like me are from decisions people like you make you’d never stop weeping. The fact is that many people vote for dems because we want our country, states and towns to be better for everyone.  I didn’t lose a dime under trump.  I didn’t miss a day of work because I was able to work from home, and I will be able to going forward. I have great health insurance, I live very comfortably in a really safe neighborhood, my kids go to the best public schools in the area, oh and I will retire in a few years because I’ve amassed more wealth than I could possibly spend in my golden years, and I’m 50, which means I’ll pass on wealth to my offspring.

Yep I am a democrat but the truth is there are a lot of people in this area whose lives aren’t really affected one way or the other. They don’t live anywhere near the edge. I do well regardless of who is in power.  I truly feel sorry for all of the rubes who bought into the nonsense that was spewed during this election. But keep voting against your own self interests after all the less you have, the more I have, and quite frankly if you don’t care why should I.

Now buckle up buttercups, or should I say bittercups and hang onto those bootstraps Because you are going to need too.  Youngkin lied to get your vote your life and your schools will be no better this time next year and mine will be not have changed at all.

The quiet parts out loud.

Truth, and I love you for saying it.  The lives of the people in Red Virginia will get shittier under Youngkin and they will never figure out that they did it to themselves.  I have enough money to buy my way out of any mess Youngkin creates, but they can’t say the same.  Sure, put vouchers in place.  It won’t be enough to cover private school tuition but I can more than afford the difference.  Middle class Bob in western Loudoun?  Not so much.  Enjoy your defunded public school, Bob![/quote]

I vote blue, but most of Youngkin's policies will be good for my family assuming that he can get them passed. We'll get a tax cut and it will likely be at the expense of services that we don't use. Maybe we'll get a voucher that we'll essentially just view as a deduction in tuition that we don't need. I'm assuming it will be up to the counties to figure out how to fund vouchers and schools, and I'm sure Fairfax will have an easier time of it than already cash strapped rural counties. Maybe the state will cover the expense, but again, cuts will have to come from somewhere to pay for it. Maybe he passes abortion restrictions, but Maryland and DC are 20 minute drives from here. I guess firearm restrictions could become even looser, but if someone wants to cosplay at being a gunslinger I'll just chuckle. [/quote]

Why did you vote for McAuliffe?

DP.  This question tells us so much about you, and Republicans generally.  You really can’t conceive that someone might vote against their own interests because they are affluent enough to absorb it and want to help people who are less fortunate than them?

The reason the parties are so far about is because they have very different morals and values.  Republican look out for themselves exclusively and say eff the rest of you.  Democrats look at the world and feel like they can’t vote just to enrich themselves at the expense of others who have less when they already have more than enough.[/quote]

LOL. Just look at Tholen and Frisch! They are perfect examples of why even liberals dislike the (Dem) school board. LoL. One party isn’t morally superior than the other.[/quote]
