View Points on Tuesdays Results
#1
I havent had time to really dive into the coverage or what not on Tuesdays results, I did hear Barrerio talk a little yesterday of some of the over the top reactions from both parties about what the results mean.  I did find this and as a middle right person i have to agree with much of what is written here.  Tuesday needs to just be the start and voters from both leanings need to be ready to make sweeping changes to their status quo to get this ship pointed away from the rocks it seems to be headed into.

Random Thoughts on Election 2021It’s always hilarious and predictable to watch the liberal meltdowns in the media every time they lose an election. They always fall back on overly simplistic explanations that require the thinking skills of a 6-year-old. And of course, they always must return to their go-to explanation, racism and white supremacy. Almost 1.7 million votes were cast for Youngkin in the Virginia governor election, but according to these propagandists in the media who think of themselves as soooooooo intellectual, they were all about racism, and in this case more than anything, teaching Critical Race Theory in schools. If any of them actually practiced journalism, they’d analyze the exit polls, which show the economy and Covid were the top voting issues, with education a distant 3rd. They might also notice that most Youngkin voters either don’t have kids or have adult kids no longer in school. A real journalist might also take note of who won the Lt. Governor election by the same margin–Winsome Sears, a black woman. If Virginia voters are racist, they sure suck at it!
Speaking of Winsome Sears, you would think this would be the kind of story the media would jump on. A black woman wins Virginia statewide election for the first time ever; someone who’s a Marine, has a master’s degree, is a working mother, ran a homeless shelter, and who is a naturalized citizen originally from Jamaica. This is a storybook American dream candidate, but up until this election, I’m guessing few even heard of her. And knowing the mainstream media, at least 2/3 of the country still haven’t heard of her. She doesn’t have the right liberal politics, so therefore she’s a non-person. Worst of all, she ruins the whole racism/CRT narrative. So the media will just play out the strategy of pretending she doesn’t exist.
Yes, education was an issue in the Virginia elections. No doubt. But CRT is just a small part of it. Parents are altogether sick of the woke liberal PC bullshit being indoctrinated in schools, where America sucks, all white people are evil, all minorities are oppressed & victims, and the only solution to every problem is big government socialism. And part of the education voter backlash involves the masks, social distancing, and other Covid restrictions WHICH WILL CONTINUE FOREVER in liberally-run states. It’s taken almost 2 years for most people to recognize this. Democrats will never let people out of Covidistan oppression if they maintain power. My guess is quite a few more voters will wise up on this point by November 2022.
Half of Republicans still believe the voting system is rigged. In certain areas of the country like New York and California, this is no doubt the case. For people there, the only solution is to leave the state. However, in the vast majority of districts around the country, there are too many eyes on things. There’s no way Republicans will let Democrats get away with all the shit they pulled in 2020. Any critical thinker knows 2020 was fixed, but the difference then is the majority of Republican politicians wanted Trump gone, so they surrendered without a fight.
Thinking ahead to midterms, as always, the focus will be on national elections, especially the House & Senate control. There’s no doubt that these are extremely important in putting a stop to the Biden dictatorship. But the local elections–governors, mayors, school board members, judges, etc. may be far more important to the future of the country. Try visiting conservative states like Florida or South Dakota, then immediately visit liberal-dominated states like California or New York. The contrast is striking. Solid red states are relatively free while life in blue states seems like they’re at the height of an Ebola epidemic. Also remember that the first priority of Democrats in power is always to preserve or enhance that power, so they will immediately go to work to ensure there is no verification of voter integrity. Conservative/libertarians in local positions can prevent this from happening. Indeed, it’s the only way to keep the U.S. a democratic nation, and we’re running out of time.
Republican control of the House & Senate means nothing if we continue to elect Establishment RINO’s like Mitt Romney and Mitch McConnell. The spending will continue. Wars will continue. Inflation & debt will remain out of control. And worst of all, there is nothing to prevent another voting debacle like 2020. These slimebags in the Republican party have to be primaried out of office before 2022 and 2024, so start paying attention to nomination races. You don’t want your choices in November to once again be Communist vs. Communist Lite.

You touched on a lot Jimmy, and I wont hit on it all here...I'm as much politicked fatigued as I am Covid fatigued. 

I'm certain there are some transgressions that occur every election and that it's happened in 68, 72, 16, 20, 12 etc. But nowhere near what conspiracy theorists believe.  

I wasn't surprised Trump lost the election and by a large # of votes too. And no, this is not a vindication or repudiation on how well Biden has done (or not done) to date as POTUS. 

More broadly, I find it a sad time when team blue and red are being defined by their far right or left fringes. I hate it and I worry about how fractionalized the country is.

We need to ask ourselves will Democracy work in the future? Or is it broken to the point where our national security for our kids is compromised?

Compromised during this time of China rising in power and influence on the planet. 

I sure would love to see younger, more progressive leadership in DC....The Pelosi's, Schumer's, McConnell's all need to go. World needs much more than these 80 year olds can provide. 

Closer to home? I was so glad to see saner heads prevail when it comes to policing/public safety evolution, curtailing the power of the Mpls City Council, Changing the names on the Mpls City Council...

Meh, we all find articles, stories, etc. that fit our opinions or narratives. Much of this I agree with and then other things, like 'rigged' elections, make me stop reading and delegitimizes other points. Its always about the extremes that bother me: 'I'm not getting vaccinated, its not safe and it doesn't work' and then 'I'm double masking in my car and if your dog doesn't have a mask, you're a sociopath that wants to kill my Grandma'. Both fucking stupid. 

The author slams both sides of the aisle. I'm a fiscal Conservative and what Biden is doing and wants to do is atrocious. I'm mad because I had to vote AGAINST Trump because he's a disgusting piece of shit, I wasn't voting FOR Biden.

I've paid zero attention to the '21 election.  I did read in a reddit thread yesterday that the GOP'er won because everyone is racist.  I had no idea those racists elected a black woman lol. 

I can tell you that the mass exodus of people from liberal states to TN continues.

SD is getting over ran as well.  That statement about racists deciding the election in virginia was the one I caught a bit of on the radio yesterday, people are spewing so much shit as fact these days its really easy to discount anything at all they say.

it is a crazy world when Bill Maher starts to make sense and is getting called out by the party that he has identified with for so long.  I would think that would be a warning flag to some,  just as I get alarmed when conservatives I have long agreed with take a stance that is contrary to the popular belief of the republican party... just makes  me do a little more digging on subjects.

most of that was just an opinion piece that resonated with me as I had a minute to do some looking this morning.  the first paragraph of my post was my sentiment.
