Wokeness was the biggest loser.
Both New Jersey and Virginia have been strong Democrat bastions for quite some time. Republican presidential candidates usually do not even bother to waste their time and money campaigning in these states. Republican candidates enter any electoral race in these states with the knowledge that defeat is almost inevitable.
Last year, Joe Biden won both these states in a landslide.
However, the tables have turned and rather drastically now.
Republican Glenn Youngkin has triumphed over former Governor Terry McAuliffe in Virginia while Republican Jack Ciatterelli is in a very close contest with New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy.
The following are some of the major reasons for Republican victories in no particular order of importance:
Democrat Obsession with Identity politics
The goal of confronting racism ostensibly is to facilitate equality, i.e. to have a society where people are not be judged by the color of their skin, but solely by the content of their character and their abilities.
However, the Democrats dedicated a lot of their campaigns to focusing on race. They thought they could appease minorities by playing the race card to demonize the majority demographic.

Virginia was won by Donald Trump in 2020—the only “landslide” was the “landslide” of Democratic vote stealing in the middle of the night.
I stopped at, “ Last year, Joe Biden won both these states in a landslide.”
Great Night... If we get NJ, I’ll be extremely happy...
Fixed it.
BOTH Virginia and NJ need a comprehensive vote audit. Both elections are far closer than they should be- meaning there is a boatload of endemic corruption and fraud in each.
Voter Fraud is the greatest civil rights violation you can commit. The disenfranchisement of one another’s vote was one of the foundational contributions to Civil War 1.0
It’s a referendum against Biden, #Vaccines and a signal to milquetoast Republicans that the MAGA base is growing and as virulent as ever.
I fear we are being led to slaughter.
I think the left was fine with losing Virginia so we would stop trying to end vote-by-mail and the other fraud put in place.
2022 will be the big one. The left will lose the House. They cannot have fraud in GOP districts.
But they cannot afford to lose the Senate because they need it to keep installing more deep state communists into strategic positions inside our government.
I think that they will turn the fraud machine back on to hold the Senate.
Biden will announce in 2022 that he is not running for re-election in 2024. That forces Kamala to try and win the primary against many who do not like her and opens the door to a true believer socialist.
Hey Rajan whatever…Biden did NOT win anything in a landslide so your article is shit, not worth the paper it’s written on.
Exactly. A victory because we only think short term while they think long term. 22 won’t be the blow out so many believe. And nothing will be done by the time 24 rolls around to change anything.
Excellent article.
Thanks!
The author recounts Democrat overreach in so many policy areas but one can scarcely blame their hubris considering how the media has consistently covered their sins so assiduously. If the media could and would cover-up the Hunter Biden laptop, for example, Democrats could hardly be blamed for believing that no overreach would be exposed. As long as they could play the race card, they believed all sins would be sanitized.
Not this time.
Incorrect.
“BOTH Virginia and NJ need a comprehensive vote audit.”
The problem with the system is a vote audit to the media and most politicians is simply a recount. If ballot boxes are stuffed with fraudulent ballots or mail in ballots are filled out by someone other than the voter, a recount will not uncover the steal. Witness the Arizona recount. The tabulation of the ballots showed a Biden win. The press and politicians are ignoring the irregularities which indicate more than enough votes were fraudulent to change the results. In addition, courts are reluctant to get involved the time consuming minutia of identifying and investigating potential fraudulent ballots. Finally, prosecutors are politicians and most seem unwilling to undertake lengthy and expensive investigations which may take months and even years to bring to a conclusion while being vilified by the press, social activists groups and the politicians who may be guilty.
Our founders understood a Republic can survive only if the general population is virtuous and elects virtuous leaders to represent them. The concept of honor and virtue are almost gone in America today. We elect mostly lawyers to public office. Those attorneys are educated in law schools where the concept of justice is politicized and distorted. Judges are selected primarily from the pool of attorneys who are politically active.
We seem amused by the fact that most politicians blatantly lie. Most politicians are attorneys. We should therefore not be surprised our legal system is not concerned with truth or justice or that our elections are fraudulent.
Youngkin will be a one-term governor unless he puts a lot of effort into ending mail-in voting, and investigating voter fraud.
In Virginia, Governors can’t run for re-election. They can run again later, as McAuliffe just did.
The term "equality", as commonly understood, hasn't meant that for fifty years, if it ever did.
"Equality" as commonly understood today, is the antonym of "liberty" and will require dictatorship to achieve its full expression.
Crushing European Americans with unemployment, discrimination in education, the white death of opioids, and unpunished violent crime against them is just not getting the job done fast enough.
As a conservative Virginian I am beside myself with joy :) On a meeting now with my conservative boss in NJ who is beyond hopeful the same will be the case there.
In Virginia Governors have been limited to two NON CONSECUTIVE terms in office since 1851. Prior to 1851 the Governor was appointed by the state legislature.
Mills Godwin is the only person to serve two terms since 1851. He was elected first as a democrat then elected four years later as a Republican.
