Democrats' Big Bucks County School Board Sweep Should Unnerve Republicans Everywhere

There are only a handful of counties in this country that can authentically claim their voting habits are bona fide bellwethers for elections in battleground states. Bucks County, a suburb near Philadelphia, is one of them.

(snip)

On Tuesday, voters decided to change the balance of power on the Central Bucks School District's school board, which previously had a 6-3 Republican majority. This week, voters flipped it to a pending 6-3 Democratic majority.

At issue for these voters, known for swinging back and forth between Republicans and Democrats, was the restriction of political advocacy that the Democratic candidates called "harmful policies" against sexual minorities.

Very troubling trend. I am familiar with this area and while it's true this is an area of moderate Dems and RINOs, I am disgusted with how far left these people have gone. Then again this is the land of Pink who hails from Central Bucks.

At some point you have to look past the political parties and right at the people who vote these far leftists into office. The world my grandchildren grow up in will be an awful one

Could be a good thing- they will go to far, allow boys in the girls bathroom and all that LW woke BS which could potentially swing everyone to the right in 2024.

A bigger trend is parents pulling their children out of public schools altogether.

It looks like they want Hamas to run their schools.

Bucks County used to be a bastion of sanity.

“There are only a handful of counties in this country that can authentically claim their voting habits are bona fide bellwethers for elections in battleground states. Bucks County, a suburb near Philadelphia, is one of them.”

So, let me get this straight... Dozens of statistical anomolies surrounding the 2020 election and the LSM tells us we are idiots to believe such silliness; but, one damn county in PA goes wonkey and we are to accept that it should confirm for us that the libturds will rule?

Typical leftist tripe... And, the people of Bucks County get the government they elect and deserve.

“Bellwether” Bucks County voted for Hillary in 2016, Kerry in 2004 and Albert Einstein Gore in 2000.

An actual bellwether is supposed to get things right a little more often than that.

It’s true that, compared to the other suburban Philly counties (DelCo, MontCo, ChesCo), Bucks is the only one which retains even a shred of sanity, but that’s not saying much considering how far around the bend those others have gone.

Philadelphia, what do you expect? That city has fallen apart and any county that touches it will follow suit. They just put a Black women in as mayor. They have such a great record as mayors. Democrats are In charge of the whole F-in state. Were going To have to hoist the Bonnie Blue Flag very soon.

I thought bellwethers didn’t matter anymore since Biden won

Bucks County is home to New Hope which has a large gay and liberal arts community.

The GOP is essentially out of cash and they allowed themselves to be tarred as engaging in "book burning" which has been the talking point for months.

They didn't defend the policy for what it was, keeping homosexual pornographic propaganda out of schools and preventing children from being groomed. Instead of calling a spade a spade, they cowered and gave nobody a reason to vote for them.

The “Hamas wing of the Democrat Party” is in full flower.

People in other countries post videos of the streets of Filthydelphia to show people how run down and drug addicted America has become.

Sad to watch.

I have had disagreements (often heated) with people on this forum who believe that “social issues” are losing issues for conservatives (such as Climate Change, abortion, debt forgiveness, homelessness, sexual issues such as transgenderism, etc) and that we should avoid those issues at all costs and focus on reducing inflation, fostering industry, higher employment, and lower taxes.

I counter that avoiding things like battling the hoax of climate change which is going to cost us trillions of dollars and make it impossible to control taxes and inflation, and I’ll be damned if I am going to surrender the moral high ground of opposing abortion or transgenderism.

I reject that soft, deceitful, and in the end, immoral approach utterly. I am astonished that ostensible conservatives would even posit that approach.

This is home for me.. all NY libs that moved in over Covid. They brought their politics with them and will make this a shithole like NYC.

Washington crossed the Delaware here on Christmas, but he wouldn’t be welcomed or supported here these days. It’s sad.
