Virginia City That Voted Obama Twice Just Threw Democrats Out Of Office
Daily Caller ^ | May 20, 2020 | Scott Morefield

Three Democratic members of the Staunton, Virginia, city council were ousted by Republicans on Tuesday despite receiving more votes than they did four years ago.

Republican candidates Mark Robertson, Amy Darby, and Steve Claffey all joined incumbent Andrea Oakes in a four-seat GOP sweep, WHSV reported. The three incoming council members replaced Democratic incumbents Erik Curren, Ophie Kier, and James Harrington all almost doubled their vote totals from 2016, yet still lost.

President Trump adhering Strictly to Federalism principles during this pandemic and allowing the governors and mayors within each state and their cities within those states have resulted in the basest oppressive fascist tendencies of the Left to be revealed for all to see.
The more draconian and authoritarian their behavior the more people begin to see what life would be like with these people in control. And, the people aren’t liking what they’re seeing at all in many many areas within our country. Even in areas the dems have considered a lock for quite some time.

The Stalinist propagandists of yore got nothing on the Stalinist propagandists of today working to get Demonrats anointed to high office like they’re gods. Black lady Hitler ought to be cleaning toilets with a toothbrush at a SuperMax lockup.

The Dems have awaken the sleeping giant across the plains. The silent majority will stay silent no more. The silent majority along with the current vote cast last general election will be a suburban/fly-over red tsunami of 2 to 1 levee-breaking flood that will drown the blue-communist urban strongholds and flip several state legislatures, governors and US house/senate seats to red.

That is true, but even Democrats are fed up with the far Left Democrats!

I looked at this city’s presidential vote history on wikipedia. Dang. This city voted Republican starting all the way back in 1948 and kept voting that way until 2008. Maybe this city is finally snapping out of whatever weird spell Obama put on them?

Are they ? The Demonrat base demands raw Stalinist power and actions. The regular Demonrat Communists ain’t moving fast enough for them. The ChiCom puppet Plugs isn’t Communist enough for these lunatics.

Let’s get it right: The Communists are the Reds. GOP is True Blue.

We’re getting that movement going to take back the color from the FAKE Orwellian newspeak leftist propagandists. Commies ain’t BLUES !

Many Democrats are small business owners who are being destroyed by these policies. They will vote against this far Left party.

It has only been marginally Dem in recent years, a bare plurality in 2016. But a lot of the urban (even small urban) places have gone hard left since the 1980s. The Red Demonrat areas on the map are either Black majority, college areas, urban White/Black mix or gubmint parasite. Charlottesville is one example of a college area gone insane. They vote closer to San Francisco than counties just a few away from them. The sewage spilled over into the county that surrounds it, Albemarle, which was Republican until not long ago and sent a Republican State Senator into the ‘90s (who was defeated by Katie Couric’s sister, a Dem nutter who died not long after).

Interesting, but VA has to do much more than this to save the state from socialism.

We shall see. Of course, I don’t trust any Demonrat state to fairly count the votes of Republicans. They simply cheat. Virginia has been hijacked by Stalinazi loons, led by the fascist-racist Governor Wreck-It Ralph Northam, and given that they cheated and stole the legislature with lines drawn by an out-of-state Demonrat to explicitly give them control last November, I especially don’t trust anything they do.

I had to look beyond the headline to be sure they weren’t talking about a city in Nevada.

Block Red was always for the hired gun Red Coats, Communists, and NAZI’s.

The blue field in the American flag literally stood for actual justice (as there literally could be no liberty for the individual or the nation without the foundation for justice), the white stood for purity (as their could literally be no justice without righteousness), and the red stripes for sacrifice (bloodshed) in defense of justice, purity, and our liberty as a nation.

The left-wing media, literally over night, decided to flip the psyops symbology script, and made liberty loving Americans red and evil, so younger Americans would associate red with evil Christians, conservatives, and liberty loving patriotic Americans.

As little as it may seem, we really should universally take Blue, and our Red, White, and Blue back, from the anti-American global socialists!

And we should do it with total symbolic prejudice!

It would probably confuse the left for a minute as well. If you don’t think it’s important, watch how they probably fight to keep it from going back to how it was before the global marxist media forced our compliance to their symbology.

And we just put our tail between our legs and ran with our new red tag...
