But it’s only the republicans that do the blame game, am I right? 🙃

Some election returns here.

In Virginia, Glen Youngkin beat Terry MacAuliffe by a huge margin. MacAuliffe’s platform was “He’s tied to Trump!” Youngkin ran on education, lowering taxes, and issues that really affect Virginia.

Here in New Jersey, Phil Murphy won by 9/10 of 1% over Jack Ciatarelli. For a state as blue as mine, this is almost unheard of.

Eric Adams will be New York’s new mayor, but Curtis Sliwa gave him a good run.

This time next year many seats in Congress will be up for grabs. Democrats are going to have to run on something more than “We’re not Trump!” and Biden better pay close attention.

None of which Republicans ever actually follow through with if a red state like mine is any example of.

In all fairness, all Murphy promised to do was keep our blue state permanently locked down.
It should shake him up, out of a state of nine million people with over six million voters, he only won by twenty thousand votes over someone nobody heard of three months ago.

In Virginia, it’s funny how the media focused on the GOP’s white supremacy, in spite of the fact Youngkin’s lieutenant governor is a black woman, and his attorney general is Cuban.

And it was MacAuliffe who was soundly beat, who had a yearbook photo of himself in blackface.

Once again, it's cute how all of these Reps are trying to paint this picture of Biden trying to become a dictator when the "President" they blindly supported for four years did more of the things dictators actually do, like strip basic human rights away from certain groups of people like disabled and lower-income Americans, try to eradicate certain other groups of people like people of color and the LGBTQIA+ community, basically take our money away from us and give it to the wealthy elite, encourage and encite violent division among the people of the country, and basically brainwash and gaslight his followers into believing whatever he had to say whether it was factual or not (and it mostly was not).

But, no . . . Biden is urging people to either wear a mask or get a vaccination, so that apparently makes him the dictator.

I mean…. He literally forced black people to vote for him because he thinks your skin color determines the correct party you should be in.

Since when does making a remark with very poorly-chosen words equate to forcing people to do something? Besides, it's not like the GOP ever do anything for blacks anyway; ****, even black Reps like Ben Carson, Candance Owens, and Kanye Pest hate their own race and **** on them any chance they get.

The Democrat party has continually shown they only see minorities as their own little puppets unless they’re the Uncle Tom right wing ones. Even if Biden’s comment may have been directed at the gentleman he was interviewing with, it might as well translated to the black community as a whole to determine who they should be voting for.
