A cold bath of reality was poured down upon the Democratic Party ideologues in the elections in Virginia and New Jersey on Tuesday, Nov. 2. The fantasy that politically correct narratives can cover for addressing bread and butter issues of the economy was smashed with a mass desertion from the 10 and 16 point victories in Virginia and New Jersey just 12 months ago — two supposedly solid “blue” states.
In Virginia, Republican Glen Youngkin won by 2.1% over favored former Governor Terry McAuliffe — who had showered Virginia with “Youngkin is Trump” propaganda, and was part of the gang assaulting democracy on January 6, etc. Youngkin actually kept his distance from Trump, pushing a quieter message: lower the gas tax, end the regressive tax on groceries, and spend more on teachers. The Democrats brought in President Biden, VP Harris and former President Obama — all to no avail. Then the Democrats’ cavalier, “benign neglect” promotion of a new policy on access to bathrooms in schools resulted in a 14-year-old girl being sexually assaulted in a school bathroom, which became the final straw, triggering a revolt against a fantasy-ridden political class.
Exit polls indicated that the most important factor in voting decisions was “economy and jobs” at 35%, followed by “critical race theory in schools” at 25%.
