Lessons from Glenn Youngkin’s surprise win in Virginia

mohmad free

What lessons can be learned from Republican Glenn Youngkin’s victory over Democrat Terry McAuliffe on Tuesday for Virginia’s governorship? Polls show some interesting opportunities. For Democrats, McAuliffe’s poor performance among younger voters is the most troubling finding. Opinion polls show Yongkin only narrowly lost among voters under the age of 25, receiving 47 percent of their vote. President Donald Trump garnered only 33 percent of that group’s support. McAuliffe’s poor performance here appears to be driven by a relatively low appetite among the younger group. According to polls, 18-24-year-olds made…

It turns out that the FBI sting on Mama Bear and Papa Bear isn’t a vote-winner. Nor are their children indoctrinated in the fine arts doctrine of racial hatred, homosexual pornography, gender neutrality, and anti-Americanism.

The disastrous presidency of Joe Biden loomed over every poll. High gas prices,…

But the other piece of the puzzle, no doubt, has been the utter failure of public…

mohmad free

The Republican victory in Virginia – the state’s Democratic nominee Joe Biden won last year by 10 points – is a huge political story that is hard to get all of it. Key: Donald Trump wasn’t on the ballot. This basic fact works in two directions. First, it spoils the Democratic playbook moving forward. How is that? Well, losing Democratic candidate for governor Terry McAuliffe has spent his entire campaign working to tie Glenn Yongkin to Trump. This was an understandable motive, since Trump’s dominant presence from 2016 onwards led…

There’s nothing fake about parental outrage in the American culture war

Are culture wars bad? Or is it necessary to shape the direction of the country? Last week, former President Barack Obama baffled to Terry McAuliffe in Virginia: “This false outrage being promoted by the right-wing media to adjust its assessments” and the fact that Republican nominee for Governor Glenn Yongkin “is willing to go along with it rather than talk about serious problems affecting reality.” For serious people – that’s a shame.” But the shame is that people like Obama pretend that wars over culture are irresponsible or “fake”, all…
