Jennifer Rubin was Right about the Religious Political Right

America can't give them what they want. But to call them Evangelicals is no longer accurate. They've abandoned Evangelical doctrine.

Vaccination Mandates Do Not Violate Religious Freedom

https://signalpress.blogspot.com/2021/11/mandated-vaccinations-have-nothing-to.html

And they're not government overreach or intrusion, not since the Supreme Court said so in 1905.

I want this thing to be over, and vaccinations are one of the quickest and most effective routes to it. People are getting frustrated with restrictions and they need to start turning that frustration into votes against Republicans who keep insisting that this somehow violates their rights. It violates my right to not have to be exposed.

I haven't seen any "Massive Voter Fraud" claims from Republicans in Virginia this time.

Because they are hypocrites and liars.

To CNN: Go back to real journalism instead of being a tabloid, the Democrats didn't get shellacked

That's a home decorating term anyway, not a journalistic one.

I'm not even going to link to CNN's page. It was one of the most pitiful jobs of sensationalizing something that wasn't worth it. As far as they're concerned, Trump is ready to be "reinstated" on January 20, now that the Democrats have lost all hope.

Democrats lost statewide elections in Virginia, by the narrowest of margins. They gained about six points over their performance in a heavily Republican Ohio congressional race and won the other one. Was there a mayor of a major city elected last night who was not a Democrat? And in a Florida congressional seat runoff, Democrats outpolled Republicans 4 to I in the total vote.

And no, Joe Manchin, the Virginia vote does not validate your concerns, it validates complaints about your obstructionism. If that reconciliation had passed, McAuliffe would be Governor-elect. Hunker down, Senator, with your buddy Sinema. The party is going to call your bluff. I watched you when you stood by the miner's families when the Sago mine disaster occurred, that's why, in spite of your Democratic affiliation, they elected and re-elected you. You need to go to those same families now and ask them what they want to see happen in Washington. Let them tell you how to vote, which isn't as much of a novelty as it might seem. I'm betting they'd tell you to put a trillion and a half back in and be the first one in line to vote yes.

It was a wake up call, so wake up, grab the coffee and use it to defeat Republicans in 2022

The Democratic party just got an awful lot of answers and solutions to problems that were shaping up to make for another bad night in November 2022.
First, don't look at CNN's political web page today. They're not getting it right.

"Let this fact sink in for just a moment. Critical Race Theory/Intersectionality is not being taught in Virginia's public school system. But a Republican candidate for governor succeeded in making it the key centerpiece issue of his campaign and when the analysis is complete, it will turn out to be the tipping point in the election."

We have to stop assuming that everyone sees what we see and figure out how to fire up the base and undermine the cultural and social narrative the other side is using effectively. It's a false front without substance and it will come down if it gets hit hard enough.

Why Does This Keep Happening and What Are We Going to do About It?

https://signalpress.blogspot.com/2021/11/why-does-this-keep-happening-and-what.html

Republican congressional majorities close ranks and obstruct everything they can when they are in control. Democrats sit back and let journalists and pollsters pick them apart. Here we go again.

There is no longer any margin for error. The GOP will burn the constitution and dismantle the Republic if they get a majority in Congress. And yet, here's a mainstream media network doing some real opinionated bashing.

The Constitution is only as strong as those who defend it

https://signalpress.blogspot.com/2021/11/the-constitution-is-only-as-strong-as.html

Events need to move along on the January 6th committee. The evidence is pretty overwhelming and I'm wondering why some people are still walking around outside of prison or jail at this point, including Trump.
