I am going to curate a thread of all the “racists!” reactions to Youngkin winning.
They’ve learned nothing. They’ll double and triple down on this losing argument and hope one day it’ll win. 1/?
Calling people racists, terrorists, and saying they have no say over their children’s education is a tired, losing argument. But it’s all they’ve got.
That and “TRUMP!”
And they lost VA because of it. 2/?
They covered up the rape of two students in Loudoun County and arrested the father of one for demanding answers. And then they tell you to shut up and sit down. 3/?
They staged a blatant, laughable stunt to paint Youngkin voters as racist. Not once, but twice. And it failed. 4/?
And now that they’ve lost; they’re continuing to scream about racism and white supremacy and haven’t even taken a breath to try to figure out another way to argue the issues. Because they don’t have one.
So here we go.

Bonus tweet!
“Misinformation”
13/?
14/?
15/? Terry McAuliffe lied about critical race theory, about sending his kids to private school, about the motives of parents concerned about education. But the GOP is the problem. Keep running with this guys. Special RT appearance by Jennifer Rubin.
16/?
17/? This one is particularly egregious, because it 1) Continues the lie/spin the critical race theory isn’t being taught, and 2) that actual history, would not be taught. Which is a lie. CRT doesn’t focus on history, it focuses on telling white kids they are inherently evil.
18/? Please keep dismissing concerned parents as racist, @CheriJacobus. It worked so well last night!

Want to know why these accusations of racism hold no water outside of the left? Well, the next couple of tweets will show you just a taste of all the things that have been labeled racist or white supremacy over the last couple of years.

27/? The OP isn’t the issue, but the meme he tweets is.
28/?
29/?
Not racist, but still completely missing the point.
30/? We’re women again, when we are blamed for the outcome of an election.
31/? Damn white women.
31a/?
People who hate children and families cannot fathom that women would prioritize the needs of their children over their own self interest.
They cannot comprehend that mothers — who spent a year of virtual learning — do not want their kids being taught they’re evil.
31b/?
The Mama Bear is strong and the left misplayed their hand.
And now they’re doubling down on everything they did wrong.
32/?
Terry McAuliffe ended his campaign calling for more diversity in education. His voters, apparently, do not want diversity in public office. I’ll be kind since it’s a smaller account.
33/? Youngkin winning in Virginia somehow proves the electorate is racist, so the media will casually omit the fact they also elected an African-American lieutenant governor, as well as a Hispanic Attorney General, because they don’t fit the narrative.
33/? Bonus INSURRECTION tweet
31c/ White women voted for Biden just a year ago.
34/? CAPS LOCK! AND NAZIS!
35/?
You’re damn right I’ll protect my sons. Get in my way and it’ll end badly for you.
36/?
No one wants to be friends with this lunatic, do they?
37/?
They’ve lost their damn minds.
38/?
So the left is having a totally normal one over the VA election.
Having learned nothing, they’ve doubled down on the hysterical rhetoric that caused a MASSIVE swing to Youngkin and an extremely close race in New Jersey (!) of all places.
39/?
They are self-loathing racists and bigots and overgrown children who love democracy until they lose at the ballot box.
They are incapable of introspection and learning and growth. They are perpetual toddlers.
40/40
There are countless more examples of just how awful they are. But as fun as this is, I have to say thank you for the tips and DMs and to @TwitchyTeam for my own article.
And on that note I’ll leave you with the absolutely perfect words of @TulsiGabbard :
