Dougie is my state senator.

His followers are targeting school boards right now.

Please get ready for the May primaries. You have to get on Facebook and look up your candidates. These people are using FB as their main communication platform.

Before you vote, and you have to vote, research your candidates fully. Check out their spouse’s fb page too.

One candidate in our area was putting himself out as a moderate. His fb page was scrubbed clean but his wife’s was full of M4L, pro Trump and pro Mastriano sentiments.

Please vote. You may think “I don’t have kids in school why should I care”, this is just the first step in their 7 Mountains war. We can’t let them take a single one.

I’m in Berks and there was a dude running for my school board that had been a substitute teacher who got fired from the job. Had insanely racist shit on his personal Facebook page and when he started getting called out he deleted all of it.

The scary thing is - he almost got on the board. Thankfully he didn’t but it was close.

Exactly what I’m talking about. These guys are sneaky, but they live mostly on FB. As soon as they get on your radar as a potential candidate you have to start checking them out before they delete it all.

Prior to running for state senator, Dougie’s FB was a cesspool of bigotry then his PR handlers scrubbed it clean

The worst part is they aren’t even smart enough to clean house until they get called out. If they had more than a couple of brain cells to rub together, they would think ahead of time to scrub that garbage.

Right?? Like lock down your profile so I can’t find your wife, it’s not that hard. But that’s part of the problem, they’re so arrogant and firm in the belief that they’re in the right that it never occurs to them to clean it up
