In short, the reasons why the marxists won in Virginia are 1) that communism sounds more compassionate to the dumbed-down public than does freedom (somehow the inevitable gulags and genocide never come into the discussion), 2) the fascists want to win more than do the patriots and "we would never stoop to be like them"; as Jesse Kelly said, "I hope you find this comforting as they drag you off", and 3) the marxists control every vehicle for inculcating patriot citizenship and are perverting those enterprises into ones of support for submission to the central collective. And since the communists control every single public institution, we are between a rock and a hard place. If the feckless GOP manages somehow to win in Virginia's 2021 elections things may be stalled, but if not Virginafornia will become hard Stalinist almost immediately IMHO. Up to now they've only had their foot on the gas pedal. If they win again, it will be their boot heels on our throats.
Read this and learn.
Less - Larry Sabato - a Leftist phony who gets state funding via the University of Virginia for his own political organization pretending to be an unbiased “political analysis” outfit, when all he really does is promote Dim, Progressive, Leftist political narratives written into his “analysis” of any political topic or issue.
Or perhaps they did not “win” anything at all. Vote fraud! Is there some reason to think it is just going to stop? That elections will now just be free and fair???
Now the anti-Americans prevail in Virginia and are trying to eliminate Dr. Suess and George Washington from history and they are not going to stop there.
Their goal is socialism; communism if they can get it.
But the important thing is, Democrats still win every election and wield absolute power.
The overall growth of federal govt over the last thirty years has been a factor as well.
Northern Virginia (aka NoVa) was once, with the exception of the cities of Alexandria and Arlington, a GOP stronghold. The legislative delegation from Fairfax County was strongly GOP. Even counties like Prince William were GOP.
But so many govt workers have flooded into NoVa that the whole region has become untenable for GOP candidates.
I think it is pretty easy.
The swamp votes Democrat because they support more money and power to swamp creatures.
And Virginia is basically a suburb of the core of the swamp.
In the future, please use only the published title. Thank you.
Read the whole article. I was at UVA when Sabato was there.. Contrary to his observations, UVA even then was a liberal fever swamp. Hand me my barf bag.
The #1 reason VA has turned left is found in NOVA (Northern VA) where billions of $$$ from the Fed. Gov. enrichen gov employees and contractors who suck at the Federal teat. That cancer has grown from Alexandria and Arlington to Fairfax, then Loudon and other nearby counties down to Spottsyvania. The cancer has so spread that almost everyone within a 70 mile radius of DC works for or is dependent on the Fed. Gov.
Of course the left has always had Richmond, Charlottesville (a major commie center of the nation) and Roanoke. But numerically, those 3 cities are small.
If you cut off NOVA, Virginia would probably come out mostly red. Yes, formerly very conservative Henrico and Chesterfield counties have been slightly taken over by the Dark Side (Spanberger replacing Dave Brat), but that divide is very close.....and questionable......
As West VA is a state, NOVA should be cut off as Northern Virginia, leaving everything 50 miles south and west of DC to be in Virginia.
And I think we’d have our state back. Technically, our Commonwealth.
The influence and dominance of the Federal Gov. is demonic - or almost so.
nope. Go watch the Presidential returns late evening for 11/03
Virginia legitimately went Red. electoral FRAUD in Fairfax disenfranchised the Virginia state residents and turned the state Blue. Most Blue states are the consequence of FRAUD
The “image’ of the Left as an honest political wing in the USA has been driven by the media.
Since 1984 the control of media outlets has dropped from over 50 different organizations to just 6 today. The product of that consolidation is an ILLUSION of a “powerful Left wing”, a manufactured progressive consensus that has usurped political power it has no business with honestly. “honest” votes for Biden/the Left were 30-35 million. At most.
The problems originate in corrupted, local electoral precincts in deep Blue urban centers. These NEED to be cleaned. Nobody desires the dirty job. Part of “redistricting” projects, BTW, is to create regions and social environments permitting unfettered and unhindered electoral Fraud.
Think parts of cities where Republicans fear to tread. No bipartisan voting observers. If any Republican observers, or even voters show up,they are threatened. This is the beginning process of turning a Red state Purple.
This article provides a glimpse into exactly this process going on in Philadelphia in 2009

There are more of “us” than “them” A whole lot more
Its all kayfabe. Its what they want you to believe, its what they want you to “feel”

What the left has done, ever since the 1984 Reagan-Mondale blowout - (and Mondale was a “moderate” Democrat!) - is to start electoral fraud programs in the largest states to turn them from Red-to-Purple-to Blue. They realized they had no future otherwise. It started in California and New York.
This last election cycle local Texans managed to turn it around at the precinct level-their RINO Governor not withstanding.
Extreme involvement in your local precincts and making sure paper balloting on ELECTION DAY, with hand counts and recounts in a transparent fashion and setting with open audit trails available to the general public, among other measures-are key.
Its dirty, tough work and initially confrontational with the existing perps. As the above article illustrates, it will be dangerous. But it beats the heck outta the alternatives -which are bearing down like a runaway freight train
The left has focused on corrupting our local electoral process. They focus on the deep urban centers. This process of corruption is very active presently in Georgia, using Atlanta as its base, the last 2 election cycles. This process is seditious.
We the People have no future otherwise. These people INTEND to “rule”
The benefits of this process created the UniParty which is WHY this has been allowed to mature.
No it’s for two reasons which are related. In 1970 Virginia had one in a hundred foreign born people. Today it’s one in ten. To a foreigner, Washington, Jefferson, Lee, VMI, etc mean nothing or worse, are held in contempt. And second, as the nation became more centrally planned and government exploded, the central planners working in government flocked to the areas around DC as a suburb. Hundreds of thousands of highly paid bureaucrats in every civilian, military, intelligence agency etc. And don’t forget the lobbyists.
It all added up to Virginia being flooded with people dedicated to expanding intrusive government and mining money from DC.
That is what happened to Virginia.
And in this last election Virginia was stolen. On election night Trump had an insurmountable lead. Only the hardest red counties were left to count. And not enough there to beat him. Then once again, magic happened late at night.
The only actual reason that Virginia is now “progressive” (i.e. neo-Marxist) is that it was essentially invaded and conquered. Actual Virginians still vote the same ways they did when VA was red. All the DC leaches, Yankees, and foreigners are in control along with the Richmond scum that was already there.
Northern Virginia is most of the problem with it’s proximity to the District of Criminals.
Virginia is in the unfortunate analogous position as Ithilien, a beautiful garden region whose proximity to Mordor-D.C. doomed it to a land of horror and darkness.
Every time I post an article detailing liberals' plans I'm told I'm a liberal plant.
Many people here don't want to read the truth.
BTW, some articles I've posted and was accused of being a liberal concern Democrats working to turn Texas blue. That one triggers a lot of anger and denials.
Funny how liberals openly discuss their plans but people don't like reading the writing on the wall.
Virginia needs to be renamed. It should be South Maryland.
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.
