They’re wasting their time.Delaware is a one-party state. What is feared in Texas from an influx of liberals from the blue states happened in DE over 20 years ago, and I fled the place when I saw the inevitable. Bill Roth wouldn’t stand a chance getting elected there now .
I’m here in DE in Sussex County, in the south, where it is still very conservative and Republicans can get elected.
Delaware has three counties, and the population lessens the further you travel from north to south. In Sussex, the flavor is actually Southern in nature, as we are bounded on two sides by the Mason-Dixon line.
The 9-12 Delaware Patriots is a great organization, which any Freeper would be proud to be a part of.
1,500 people attended a gun rights meeting in Dover, our State’s capitol, last Sunday. Over 300 had to be turned away due to capacity of the venue. In a state of just less than one million people that is a lot of people for a Sunday.
My State Senator and my Assemblywoman have heard from me, and both are pro gun.
Delaware’s election results are essentially a 40% GOP-60% Democrat state. The northern county, New Castle,is blue and is the most liberal, and has the cities of Wilmington and Newark(pronounced New-ARK, not New-werk!). Their sheer numbers carry the elections. The middle county, Kent, is purple,splitting to red below Dover. Sussex is red, but trending blue, as more and more of the government class retire here from DC/Maryland areas, for the beaches and low taxes here.
We keep trying but in this state, an idiot like Joe Biden can get elected to the Senate for 36 years. Think of it as being a big fish in a very small pond.
Delaware, especially below Wilmington is sort of geographically isolated, and the gene pool hasn’t changed much, meaning new ideas and modernity come slowly.
That is part of the charm here, but if you are used to high paced living, you will need a major attitude adjustment to live here.
People where I live are still of a small town mind, very pleasant and polite. We start our Town Council meetings with an invocation by the Mayor, that kind of thing. Property taxes are low, and the roads and schools are excellent. Coming from high tax NJ, it was a bit of a shock to see a place where things actually work, at one fourth the property tax rate.
There is a direct connection between our Governor and the White House, because of the geographical proximity, and because of Joe Biden. Joe’s son, Beau, is our Attorney General.
It is an uphill battle here, but we are trying.
Our Senators, Carper and Coons, and Congressman(we only have one Congressman-at large)are all Dems, but they hear from me regularly. It feels like pissing on the wind, but America is too great to give up on.
Our State Senate and Assemly are now run by the Dems, so in some ways I feel like I am behind enemy lines. At least here in my corner of DE, it is still red-ish, so that gives some relief.
Democrats are the enemies of freedom. If we cannot break their stranglehold on our government, they will ruin our nation.We cannot make it easy for them.
