To all Republicans who dismissed the election results as meaningless
I do listen when people speak, I always check on truth before posting. Yesterday, the Republicans all posted the talking points given to them that "the election was nothing. Blue states voted blue. Meaningless". So I looked the elections up state by state.
Nope.
"Mississippi Democrats Break Republican Senate Supermajority. In deeply-red Mississippi, the Dems flipped enough seats in the Senate to break the long-standing Republican supermajority there.
Dems flip Wichita School Board from a 4-3 GOP majority to a 5-2 Democratic majority. Democratic candidates Amy Warren and Amy Jensen defeated Republican incumbents Hazel Stabler and Kathy Bond. Kansas is another one of those states where Democrats are rare as hen’s teeth, yet the Dems won local elections all over the place.
In the Republican stronghold of Buck’s County PA: Two of Tuesday’s school board elections were in Bucks County, Pa., which was considered “ground zero” for right-wing groups’ takeover of school boards in 2021.
A few years ago, conservatives on these boards in Pennbridge and Central Bucks districts were using their roles to pass policies targeting LGBTQ+ students and banning books. Democrats flipped control of both boards in 2023, and on Tuesday, they ousted every Republican from both of these boards, except for one. The Pennbridge school board is now 8-1, with Democratic members in control. The Central Bucks school board is 9-0.
Texas. Democrats won in Lockhart, which sits in a district so red that Democrats normally don’t even run. They had a clean sweep in Cy-Fair ISD, another deeply red area that not even Greg Abbott could save. In SD-9, another red district, there was an 8 point shift for the Democrat."
You can be fed talking points but you can't change facts, even when you call facts "fake news".
Nope.
