Virginia governor race shows how Trumpism rotted the entire Republican Party
msn.com ^ | 10/30/21 | Jackie Calmes

For the sake of our two-party system, I would have liked to believe that Republican Glenn Youngkin, should he win the Virginia governor’s election on Tuesday, could show the way to a post-Trump restoration of the GOP, away from the crazy and the culture wars. After all, Youngkin is a moderate businessman who has long been a traditional Republican.

But I can’t, because that’s not how he’s campaigned against former Democratic Gov. Terry McAuliffe.

Youngkin is no Donald Trump, but neither is he disavowing the worst of Trump. He’s using weasel words, but all the same he’s corroding faith in our elections, exploiting racial divisions and embracing phony culture wars. Trump says what he thinks, and his cultists love it; Youngkin says what they want to hear, just without the bile and bombast that has cost the party the support of many moderates, college-educated Republicans and independent voters in the suburbs, and turned the once-red state a purplish blue.

It may be working for Youngkin. A Washington Post-Schar School poll Friday showed the race is a dead heat, and Youngkin seems to have the momentum. A new Fox News poll showed him with an eight-point lead.

“Phony culture wars…”

This is the person who’s just as responsible for that poor girl getting raped in a high school bathroom as their idiot school board.

There’s no getting along with them.

The Democrats are only 40% of the electorate.

Like #2 Avis, they have to try [cheat] harder.

The Dems stole Virginia going away in 2020 - and probably in 2016.

President Trump started it, or picked up where President Reagan left off…

But lately it seems the commies are flushing themselves down the toilet…

I can’t believe the kind of things they are saying out loud…

That parents shouldn’t be telling schools what to teach..
That parents who object are domestic terrorists…
That people aren’t paying enough in taxes..
That the country was founded on racism…
That illegals should be compensated for being detained at the border…
That Covid vaccinated people are at risk from the unvaccinated…
That gas prices aren’t high enough…
That inflation and shortages are signs of a robust economy..
That we should welcome competition from China in nuclear weaponry…
That boys should be allowed in the girls’ room if they identify as female..

And on and on..

It’s amazing what they are admitting to - and even proud of…

Hopefully, voters will finally wise up as a result

Yeah right, Youngkin is “corroding faith in our elections” (because he speaks about the elections that they stole),

and Youngkin is “exploiting racial divisions” (that were created by them to gain power)

and by “embracing phony culture wars” (over issues that they created, like all of that LBQ s*it, BLM and CRT).

The Republican Party was rotten and corroded long before Trump turned to politics. His unforgivable "crime" in the eyes of the establishment is in pointing out the rot and going his own way.

The Republican Party Leadership was screwed up in Reagan’s
day, so it’s no surprise who screwed up the party between
then and now. Hint, it wasn’t Trump.

The party had been swamp diving before Trump decided to
run. That cost the party. We’re sick of it, and those
folks are so stupid, they don’t think we’re on to them.

They trash Trump for the same reason Biden does. They
need to deflect.

Trump, like the rest of us, was damn sick and tired of a
party that talks big, and acts small

The GOPe and RNC have made so many deals with the Democrats,
the Democrat agenda is almost completed.

Yes, these “culture wars” are so awful - to think there are people would make a big deal out of policies that resulted in a young girl getting raped at school while was trying to use the restroom...

These people messed up.
