For almost a decade we have advocated for womens safety, for gun rights, and against domestic violence.

Now, several sussex county council members are endorsing a candidate with 15 years of domestic violence history and who switches parties like they switch underwear over two other upstanding candidates, Jacki Slonin for Delaware State Rep and Vote Doug Conaway

So much for progress.
Google John Atkins.
Get it together Sussex County.

An abuser could have a documented 20 year history of DV, violate alllll the PFAs, do time in prison, be required to go to classes for anger management and/or substance abuse, and do time on high level probation.

People will still believe the abuser is the victim the majority of the time. And we wonder why survivors don't report.

Society is fu**ed.

Here's how it works.

People tend to side with the abuser due to several deeply ingrained social and psychological factors.

1. The "Nice Guy" persona:
Abusers keep abuse private. Public behavior is portrayed as flawless, successful, and well-liked image to employers, friends, and neighbors.

Its a survival mechanism that almost guarantees, when a victim speaks out, cognitive dissonance forms for outsiders.

Its hard to reconcile the abuser with the charmer.

2. Weaponized Charisma and Composure:
Abusers maintain a calm, rational persona outside their direct circle. Outsiders often mistake this for innocence.

On the flip side, the psychological manipulation of the abuser causes victims to seem distressed or emotional.
This is often wrongfully judged as "crazy".

3. The need for simplicity:
Blaming the victim provides a false sense of security, like the situation couldn't happen to them.
This leads to subconscious victim blaming.

4. Controlling the Narrative:
Abusers invest heavily in controlling perceptions by discrediting the victim to friends and family.

This is a mix of the "Just world hypothesis" and normalcy bias at work.

The human brain's natural inclination is to make you want safety and believe you're safe.

Accepting that the charmer is actually the abuser would be like admitting how unjust the world is and how broken the systems that are meant to protect truly are.

In many cases accepting that the charmer is the abuser would also mean outsiders would have to accept some form of responsibility for it happening or its continuation.

Bottom line is, this is how the cycle has always continued. This is why its rarely ever broken. Because science.

The 41st District (Dagsboro, Frankford, Gumboro, parts of Selbyville area) has a 3 way primary that's heating up.

Jacki Slonin for Delaware State Rep A+ for gun rights and women's/children's safety

Vote Doug Conaway A+ for gun rights and women's/children's safety

to Elect John Atkins F- all around

There is also a VERY pro 2A Democrat running in the 41st, Ryan Stuckey. A + for being pro gun rights and marked safe from hitting women

While Jacki, Doug, and Ryan seem to be running a clean race, that can't be said about former State Rep John Atkins.

Given the advocacy and mission statement of this page, some important details about this candidate need to be stated for awareness and transparency.

John Atkins -

➡️ Originally elected as a Republican.

➡️ Accumulated multiple domestic violence charges related to multiple women over a 12 year period

➡️ Several attempts to use friendships and his position as a lawmaker to get out of charges for various crimes

➡️ Had numerous physical altercations with law enforcement -not charged

➡️ Subjected to multiple PFAs by different women, including a PFA that prohibited him from seeing his children

➡️ Aressted for strangulation but plead to lesser charge

➡️ Attorney General investigated him for attempting to convince a child (babysitter) to lie and tell law enforcement she did not hear him fighting with his wife (now ex wife)

➡️ Many dropped charges, plea deals, and several times LE decided not to file charges

➡️ Ethics committee investigation and was going to remove him. Atkins resigned before the Ethics Committee could remove him, which allowed him to run again later

➡️ Atkins later ran as a Democrat and won the seat back.

➡️ Sponsored legislation to raise fees for CCDW permits

➡️ Incarcerated 23 Days, ankle monitor, 1 year probation for multiple PFA violations & potentially entering his exs home while she wasn't home

➡️ History of nurmerous domestic violence incidents, charges, and PFAs from 2006 until 2018, 1 PFA dropped as recently as 2021

Atkins is now running again in 2026.... This time as a Republican ... again.
