PA: Reflections On The Big, Beautiful Blue Wave In Bucks County And Across The Country
I, along with many other Americans, woke up on the morning of Wednesday, November 8, 2023 hopeful for the future of America. Democrats unexpectedly won an incredible number of contests across the nation and especially here in Bucks County where there were resounding Democratic victories from school boards to township supervisors to county commissioners. No doubt, many volunteers in the Democratic political community felt, as I did, a great satisfaction knowing that the hard tedious work they exerted for this off-year election had not been in vain. More importantly, there was relief and joy that so many voters resoundingly rejected the extremist MAGA agenda at the polls. There was hope in the air that the long nightmare of the extremist MAGA political ideology had begun to sour – and that a return to a civilized normalcy was finally on the horizon.
I see three failures of Republican policy and ideology that led to our victory in November:
– their continuing war on the freedom of women,
– their outrageous attacks on our public education system that often demonized and discriminated against the LGBTQ+ community, vilified teachers and librarians, and banned books and mutilated,
– and their ongoing attacks on voting rights, elections, and just democracy in general.
