Voters rejected school board candidates using ‘manufactured’ culture wars to win elections

Right-wing activists using local school board races to push for greater control of public education didn’t make a dent in Tuesday’s election results.

One year away from the 2024 presidential election, voters largely rejected candidates backed by groups like Moms for Liberty that have aligned with GOP campaigns to undermine public education and restrict access to books, classroom materials and honest discussions of race, racism, LGBT+ people and gender and sexuality.

      Not that I put much stock in the latest poll that shows Biden trailing Trump in key states a whole year out, but it’s an indicator that people are so fucking dumb, they can’t remember how awful things were four years ago without being constantly reminded.

        Conservative media goes out of its way to blame Biden for his successes. Even during the debate, Ramaswamy said that like 3 or so tons of fentanyl had been caught at the border. Others mentioned that “encounters” were higher than they’ve ever been before. And then they went on to blame Biden for his failure to secure the border as they praised him for succeeding.

        Conservatives are liars superior.

      What? You didn’t vote yes on the Free Patriots Saving Children from Terror and Kicking Out Gay Commies act? What are ya? I mean, yeah, the fine print lets priests finger kids at school and gives rocket launchers to police departments, but so what? You don’t wanna look like a lib; do ya?
