The Midterms and Gen-X Super Voters
« on: November 03, 2022, 04:35:19 pm »
...Digging into recent headlines in suburban Philadelphia may provide some insight into why these parents are trending toward Republican candidates.

In suburban Quakertown, voters flipped a school board from a 7-2 Democrat majority to a 6-3 Republican majority in one election after learning that incumbent Democratic school board members attended a conference to integrate Critical Race Theory into the district’s policies and curricula. In exurban Lehigh County, emails reveal school administrators directing teachers to conceal from parents when their children choose to be re-gendered.

In the Borough of West Chester, home to Pennsylvania’s largest teaching college, elementary school teachers were trained by the school district to integrate sexuality curricula for kindergarteners. In the heart of Philadelphia’s toney Main Line, Great Valley parents struggle to remove pornographic and pedophilic material from the district’s libraries and curricula.

Children taught to judge by race. Secrets kept from parents. Sex taught to 5-year-olds. Sexually explicit material in homework.

These instances are not just limited to suburban Philadelphia. Gen-X parents are confronting them across America...

...Gen-X suburbanites may start using an updated description for themselves: “fiscally conservative, but socially sane.” Emphasis on sane. And they may have found a political party to carry their fight, potentially transforming American politics for generations....

Not buying most of the generational generalities here, what is interesting is the copy and pasted text. We may have the foundation for a made-over GOP.
The Republic is lost.

Gen-X'ers are center-right moderates.  They lack the numbers to have the political pull of the Boomers and the Millennials.
