In local elections all seats typically will go to whatever group has the majority. For this reason a lot of the election is pretty dumb. In my area every person running for the school board had a woke bio, and you get to pick 3, or whatever. So there really is actually no point. I think it is like a 65/35 area or something, so no use in "being the change" and running myself or propping someone up. It feels like they are starting to lose the coercive hold on people, but i'm not holding my breath. I don't think I saw a trump sign in the entire city because the brainwashed masses are so aggressive here (trump supporters aren't perfect, but are better than many).
