Despite the Republican assertions that the economy was the core of voters’ anxieties, their post-election responses revealed that ‘saving democracy’ and a ‘woman’s right to choose’ topped their lists.

There has been virtually no response to the Republicans’ continuing assault on America’s democratic institutions, especially K-12 public education.

we are witnessing growing economic, political, and gender apartheid between America’s White and ethnic minority groups in all spheres of our national life.

When the power shift occurs, the Republicans will immediately rush to implement voting, electoral, and justice Apartheid that will parallel that of South Africa prior to 1992 and assign minorities to even more segregated spaces than they are in today.

Democrats are taking an aerial view of their supporters’ interests and needs rather than interacting with them regularly.

Repeatedly warned about their lack of an appealing political message, they have elected to stand steadfast in their belief that they know what their voters want and need.

The Republican strategy is to double-down on critical race theory (CRT) which was the point of their educational spear in the Virginia and New Jersey elections. They plan to buttress, if not upstage CRT, with legislation and advocacy to promote corporate-owned charter schools, school vouchers, homeschooling, school savings accounts, and the increased funding of religious schools.
