We do not know who claims victory for another two months but we already know why it happened.
One side cannot shut up. The other side cannot speak.
Whereas sports, comedy, school curricula, library story hours, awards shows, and even restaurants become ideological instruments for Democrats, the ballot box alone acts as a safe space for Republican political expression. For one group of Americans, everything is politics; for another group of Americans, nothing, save for the voting booth, is politics.

Be damn careful who you vote for in your local elections, particularly if you live n the South. So many transplants are running in our elections. They are easy to spot just by the names. They all come up with hip cool fun names like Chucky or Sol our Pauly, or Ellen or Rachel or Linda or Susan....and occasionally a Karen. These people need to be run out of town on a rail. If their name doesn't seem to fit to the local flavor, check them out real careful.
