By the time this election rolled around, Moms for Liberty seemed to have already realized their brand had become poisonous. As the Daily Beast reported, “In 2021, Moms for Liberty claimed credit for 33 seats in Bucks County,” but in this election cycle, the group “endorsed only a single candidate in the county.” The Philadelphia Inquirer reports that some Republican candidates wanted the group to keep its distance, fearful of the taint. And that was my sense of things in the Pennridge district this fall. School board members who had links to Moms for Liberty tried to downplay it and ended up getting outed by investigators from the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC).

      On god dude. Adults w/o kids should consider investing in the next generation, especially when your investment is actually just you weighing in on governance.

      You’re gonna be an old fart with lots of needs very soon and the grand majority (maybe not, idk how close things are after boomer pop resides) are gonna be younger and your decisions, like it or not, made them in some part who they are
