Observations and thoughts...hope the GOP takes both VA and NJ. Have seen the "defund the police" issue lose in Minneapolis. Saw where a school board in TX now has a conservative majority. Probably some more good news out there. Hope so.
Some might think this will lower the way-too-high national level of anger. Unfortunately, no. We still have the most incompetent "President" and regime ever. They can now always be depended upon to do something really stupid or simply fuck things up that used to work okay. We still have school boards trying to indoctrinate children and outrage parents. Still have a whack job as DA in San Francisco, but looks like he'll face a recall election. Successes tonight just slow the rate of increase in the national level of anger for a while. "They" likely will push even harder, suspecting they'll get whacked next year and in 2024.
One good thing, for now. People still see change as possible via the ballot. However, should either or both the VA and NJ elections be stolen that perception will take a huge hit. The level of trust in government/law enforcement/judiciary/media at any level, already at a probable nadir, will go even lower.
Who can say what might happen? I sure don't know. But those who talk don't tend to act. And those who act don't tend to talk.
