Having lived in Virginia most of his life, Larry Sabato can remember racially segregated schools and systematic efforts to stop Black people voting. Now 68, he observes a state that has diversified, embraced liberal values and shifted from symbol of the old south to symbol of the new.

“I have to admit, as a young man I would never have believed it was possible for Virginia to move in such a strong progressive direction,” said Sabato, director of the Center for Politics at the University of Virginia. “I worked for candidates back then who were progressive. I used to joke, ‘If I work for you, you’re going to lose, you have to understand that’. And they always did.

Yes, do something about it...

LOL. National law enforcement, the DOJ/FBI/CIA/NSA are all completely in the pockets of the Globalists. SCOTUS. The Dems, the Media and Big Tech are all in on Marxism on a Global scale.

Buying off a City Councilman for a building permit in Manassas isn’t the issue.

They want a Global Plantation, run like Orwell.

I think that there is a slippery slope when it comes to corruption. It starts out small, like buying off a city councilman for a building permit. If that city councilman happens to be a Fed (some of them are), you better believe he’s going to apply what he just learned about how to make extra money on the side to his day job.

There’s HUGE money in Wash DC getting bigger every year.
Many of those folks making the HUGE money live in Virginia now.
So this is a no brainer.
