(1,910 posts)Of course the MAGAs came out with their agenda but that is not what tipped the suburbs. Read the exit polls, go back for the last 18 months and hear what suburbanites have been yelling about.
In the end the parents hated the Covid school closures and were angry and needed to blame someone. That someone was Democrats, as backwards as that is.
Parents in the suburbs had their lives destroyed for 2 school years. Most kids stink at online learning. Moms were forced out of the workforce to stay home. Kids got depressed. The teachers refused, and rightly so, to teach in person.
Once Covid is not an issue in schools will suburban parents come back to the Dems? Now that Dems are also associated with the 'super woke' curriculum being forced on kids according to Repugs, who knows.
Dems have to regain the suburban parents.
