In the colorful tapestry of American political myths, there’s one that keeps making a mysterious appearance, second only to Bigfoot sightings and tales of Nessie’s swim across Loch Ness: the myth of the moderate Democrat. It’s a tale spun by those on the left, trying desperately to convince voters that you can have your cake and eat it too. But like those grainy photos of Sasquatch, the myth starts to fall apart when scrutinized.
Take a recent event outside a school board meeting in Arlington, Virginia. A protester held a sign with a remark so outrageous that folks with common sense were left dumbfounded. To draw an equivalence between privacy concerns in school bathrooms to the racial segregation of the past is not just illogical but downright insulting. Even in a crowd buzzing with liberal protesters, it took a while for someone to ask the sign-holder to take it down. And only then, after realizing the cameras were rolling. It seems overpowering support for radical policies is often disguised as progressive activism among Democrats.
Abigail Spanberger, a Democrat facing off against Virginia’s Lieutenant Governor, Winsome Sears, claims to be a moderate. Her statements in response to the protestor’s sign sounded right-minded enough. Yet, her actions tell a different story. When given opportunities to challenge the radical left’s agenda, Spanberger either remains silent or goes along with the progressive flow. Her record, much like Bigfoot’s footprints, fails the test of authenticity.
Spanberger’s voting history is no better. She co-sponsored the Equality Act which would force schools to open girls’ locker rooms and teams to biological males. If that doesn’t raise eyebrows, consider her opposition to the Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act. Her voting record aligns more with left-wing zealots than with the heartland values she claims to represent. It seems her moderation has more in common with the mythical creature of Loch Ness than actual policy-making.
As for the Democrats on a larger scale, they make grand assertions of understanding the average American’s concerns while casting their lot with radical fringe elements. This obedience to fringe elements only amplifies their power within the party. They’ve mastered the art of presenting a pleasant facade while sneaking in an agenda that would make even the fictional Bigfoot raise an eyebrow. The real moderate choice is clearly standing in the wings, embodied by candidates like Winsome Sears who actually align with values of common sense and traditional American ideals.
So, for voters in Virginia and beyond, the choice is crystal clear. Step away from Democratic candidates with moderate masks and embrace those who reflect true all-American values. It’s time to wake up to the myths swirling around in the political fog and make choices that reflect the real world, not the land of progressive fairy tales.
