What are you talking about? Virginia isn’t closed and people are already working?

You can blame the irrational voters who voted for him. They are fully responsible for their own vile actions.

No. You need to face reality. Youngkin was elected directly because of the unnecessary and deeply harmful school closures, which lie directly at the feet of the Democratic power structure. The sooner that the Democrats recognize this truth, the better.

You can continue to insult his voters all you want. But the people who really elected Youngkin are the many reliable Democrats who stayed home because they were so disgusted by the school closures. Youngkin won because people were angry at the fact that their kids weren’t educated for 18 months. Democrats used to be seen as the party of education, and they aren’t any more. It’s a foundational shift, and I worry it is going to turn the entire country over to the Republicans. People used to put up with Democrats because they trusted them to educate their kids. But that trust is lost, possibly permanently.

You get that schools are now more likely to shut down due to high case rates if Governor Trumpkin succeeds in enforcing his executive order banning mask requirements, right?

Jesus, you people are dumb. Of course this is true! And it is terrible. That is precisely an example of the problem with the horrifying approach that the Democrats took. Supporting the shut-down of education for 18 months without scientific justification and clearly only to overtly pander to Democrat-supporting trade groups was a politically disastrous decision. It was extremist, destroyed trust in the party, and worse, led directly to the election of someone who will do idiotic things like ban mask mandates and worse.

And don't start with the pass-the-buck position that closures were local. McAuliffe incomprehensibly was campaigning with Randi Weingarten (who seems to want to shutter education permanently) days before the election. That sent a powerful message about how much McAuliffe cared about educating kids, and, well, the message was received loud and clear.

You are blaming Democrats for Youngkin’s decision to gut basic public health measures in a way that dramatically increases the odds of schools hitting down again? Come down, don’t be so disingenuous. The Democrats didn’t force Youngkin to do this, it was entirely his own decision to pander to the Trumper base.

I am blaming Democrats for every terrible decision we will see from Youngkin. This was their election to lose. It is the fault of the Democrats' inexplicable support for shutting down education for 18 months that will bring us years of terrible decisions from Youngkin.

You were mad at local school administrators and school boards because they took a global pandemic seriously.

Youngkin won’t fix any of that.

If you’re going to lie, at least fact check first. The 2021 Virginia Gubernatorial was actually the highest turnout in history including 2017, 2013, 2009, and 2005.

2021 - 3.2 million voters
2017 - 2.5 million voters
2013 - 2.1 million voters
2009 - 1.9 million voters
