Yep. Low IQ folks getting spun up by a right leaning media landscape on topics they literally know zero about and would end up benefitting them and their brood. But no, Earl and Betty Lou are happy in their Midwestern or Southern bubble. After all, they got a double wide.

Exactly this.

"Infiltrated the TJ PTSA"?? You seem confused. These are TJ parents - they didn't "infiltrate" anything. They're standing up for merit-based - rather than RACE-based - admissions. And almost all of them are POC. But sure, since you don't agree with MERIT-BASED admissions, smear them as "astroturfing." It's your shiny new word and you love to trot it out on as many posts as possible. Glad to know millions see right through you.

Ever wonder why so many Americans have become repulsed by Democrats like you? You probably haven't because you obviously don't have an ounce of introspection in your body. Try it sometime.

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.

Yes, we all know this is why Youngkin won suburban moms who previously voted Democratic. Why is this such big news to this Pamela lady? Everybody else knew this.

McAuliffe was just a boring, uninspiring candidate. If we'd had someone young, fresh, more progressive, they would have won.

You still don't seem to get it. There is now a backlash to your "progressive" movement. It's not selling.

+1 I don't want someone progressive anything. I want someone under 60, sane, fiscally smart and not morally repugnant. Youngkin fit that metric but I would have voted for a Democrat had that choice been available.

Ha, ha - I guess he was fiscally smart enough to buy an election. You don't think that's a tad morally repugnant? That's his ONLY qualification. It's anyone's guess how he will govern.
