If Republicans don’t act fast, Virginia will turn into Colorado, but it doesn’t have to happen that way, although it’ll be hard to undo the damage.
Election Day 2025 was a broad disaster for Republicans. Everyone could see that.
New Jersey stayed blue, but Virginia went back to being blue at the state level, and the Virginia Democrat party took greater dominance over the Old Dominion’s state legislature.
Nationally, Republicans could not avoid the backlash in voter turnout, since the common pattern is that the party out of power rebounds in the Virginia and New Jersey elections the year after the Presidential election.
However, Democrats didn’t just rebound, they superabounded, especially in Virginia.
It didn’t have to end this way. There was hope that things could have turned around for Republicans to retake the state. After all, they scored a nice upset in 2021, in reaction to President Joe Biden’s first disastrous year in office. Republicans took back the Virginia House of Delegates, and all three major executive offices—Governor, Lieutenant Governor, and Attorney General—came back to the Republicans.
Hope sprang again in the hearts of the national Republican conference. Republicans could rebuild from the Democrats’ imposed rack and ruin, couldn’t they?! For the previous eight years, Virginia had suffered under two Democrat governors, and then voters watched the General Assembly fall into Democrat hands, first in the state senate, and then the House of Delegates.
From 2019 to 2021, the Democrat party pushed through its wish list of progressive demands, including gun control, LGBT promotion, hand-outs to the public sector unions (although the Democrats could not remove right-to-work from the state constitution), and more taxes and spending. And who can forget the relentless assault on parental rights and the rampant pornography pushed in the public schools?!

I think what you are seeing is part of a huge demographic shift in the country. Conservatives are moving to conservative strongholds, and liberals are moving to or staying in the liberal crapholes. The problem is, some are also moving to the conservative strongholds. These are the "cowbirds." (If you don't know what a cowbird is, then read up on their behavior.)
Now, if we could only separate the finances between the conservative states and the liberal states, we could fix many things. The desire for this financial separation is what drives the Texit movement here in Texas.
Minnesota is also following this pattern of failure and is descending into a Marxist hellhole. One can only hope that people living in these states will see the utter ruin these leftist policies bring and vote the communists out while there are still free elections. Governor Spanberger and her stooges in the Legislature who are trying to fix the Democrats in power overlook that people in Virginia are still free to migrate to other freer states like Florida and Texas. The Communists finally had to put up fortified walls to keep their people from fleeing to freer states least they rule over no one.
its not a state its a people.
No, Virginia. There isn’t any Santa Claus coming to save you.
Sounds exactly like my home state of California - which is governed almost entirely by lefties from the coastal areas of San Francisco, Los Angeles and San Diego. The rest of the state is red - and has gotten redder over the past four-five years.
Importantly: there is no fixing any of it.
The western part of Virginia should join West Virginia.
Yes, just as the conservative, eastern part of Oregon is trying to join Idaho, which more closely aligns with their political views.
“Eastern Oregon counties are pushing to join Idaho through the ‘Greater Idaho’ movement, which seeks to redraw the state border to include 13 Oregon counties that have passed non-binding measures in favor of the change.”
I have (very) conservative family members in Norther Virginia, they are extremely upset at what is happening in their state.
Fixed, as in having balls removed?
Look up states, companies on these sites :

It’s time for AI to start causing the layoffs of easily automated Democrat demographics. Don’t patronize businesses employing such demographics. Patronize businesses in West Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee, not Maryland.
Initiate city split-offs, in the style of St. George from Baton Rouge, Louisiana.
THANK YOU for these great district-by-district graphics that show the real picture.
Dems employ communist/marxist methods to take control and deny us our rightful political influence
Make DC square again - that will help. Unfortunately hte testosterone level in DC repubs is probably not up to the task.
