    So who was the racist again? The guy in the party of governor blackface that sent operatives carrying tiki torches and wearing confederate flags to his opponent's rallies, that sent his kids to private schools? No, certainly not that guy.

    Don't forget that in addition to electing a black woman for LT Gov, the racist GOP in VA also appear to have voted in a Hispanic guy as AG.

    The black face of white supremacy.

    Kobe told me that what she is describing is a myth and that only Socialism can help people like her.

    One of the biggest lies of the left is that CRT is only a "theory" discussed in law schools. So, McAullife was telling the people of Virginia that that the parents were lying about CRT being taught in Virginia schools. Leftards lie and love to be lied to but apparently this was a bridge too far for the parents of Virginia who were tired that it was just raining on their leg.

    Lol, you guys let me just splain the semnatics of CRT to you. You see, it's way over your heads and you have no right to get defensive.

    They just said that teaching CRT was untrue and you racist parents should have no input in your child's education.

    Just as McAuliffe had no message apart from trying to tie Youngkin to Trump, these commentators seem helpless to do anything but fall back on a cookie-cutter formula for responding to Republican electoral victories in the Trump era. This drive-by commentary misses the weedsy, multi-layered nature of the Loudoun County mess. Some of the parents I interviewed last night, for instance, didn’t agree with Tanner Cross, the Christian gym teacher who spoke out at a school board meeting this past May, saying his religion would prevent him from complying with a proposed transgender policy requiring the use of preferred pronouns. “I’m a teacher, but I serve God first,” he said. However, some were still furious that Cross was suspended after his speech, essentially for violating a rule not yet put in place.

    I met people who didn’t care about “Critical Race Theory,” if they even knew what it was, but were still offended by the existence of a closed Facebook group — the “Anti-Racist Parents of Loudoun County” — that contains six school board members and apparently compiled a list of parents deemed insufficiently supportive of “racial equity efforts.” Still others were troubled by a controversy involving the process by which an outside consultancy called the Equity Collaborative came to be hired, at a cost of roughly $500,000, to conduct an “equity assessment” based on a report of racial insensitivity at one school.


    The significance of Youngkin’s win is that it signals Republican competitiveness in those districts again, something that would have been unthinkable even a year ago. These white-collar, highly educated voters, the kind of people who get their shots, don’t watch wrestling, and send their kids to Harvard and Princeton, are the Democratic Party’s base. It took something pretty weird and intense to drive them to defection, and don’t trust anyone who tries to explain it in a tweet. This one really is a long story, and a wild one at that.
    This is perfect.

    Solid blue California gave us? Nixon and Reagan and voted for both twice. Orange County was a regular feature on Johnny Carson's monologue for being so conservative. John Wayne Airport anyone?

    The fact that Newsom even got to a recall is somewhat encouraging. A lot of California still is a don't tread on me state. Don't wake them up

    This is why I've been reading Taibbi for almost 2 decades and subscribe to his substack. He gets it like few others in his now slim-filled profession.
