Where can my family move? As a 9th fenerarVirginian, I Hate what the Old Dominion has become.
Not even close anywhere.

I was thinking of retiring in the Shenandoah Valley which is mostly Republican, but I don’t know now with Dems in control.
You might check this map to see if any of the red counties could work for you, by hovering the mouse pointer over the map to see Republican versus Democrat percentages...

If you want to stay in Virginia, when things get even worse (and they will) you can move to the Appalachian mountains in Virginia. Go to places like Elk Creek, Troutdale or Mouth of Wilson near Mt Rogers. No colleges around to pollute the neighborhood. All your neighbors value their privacy. It gets noisy sometimes during deer season or when they’re just improving their accuracy - which is always. Good people in the area. Fresh food, eggs and fish as well.
Thanks for that info, ladyjane!
My husband and I were just in the New River and Shenandoah Valleys. Really like both those areas, especially the smaller towns .
Prop 50 passing in California.
Blue gonna Blue.
🚨JUST IN: Florida Governor Ron DeSantis says there's hardly any Republicans in a blue state anymore. They ALL moved to Red States!
"Jack (Ciattarelli) would have won tonight if you just took all the Republicans who left New Jersey and moved to Florida!"
"When I got elected, we had 300,000 more registered Democrats in Florida, and today we have 1.4 million more Republicans. Nobody has ever in this—has ever seen a change that profound."

Yes, and Red States are gaining in the Electoral College.
As they sow, so shall they reap.
I don’t think you can effectively “respond to attack ads.”
You get out ahead of attack ads with clips of your candidate in pleasant family surroundings saying sensible things in a pleasant tone that is welcoming to all.
Dark ads. Negative ads about the Democrats. Scowling Republican candidates. This is the stuff for which Republicans have been spending millions of dollars—for election after election. No wonder Democrats think Republicans have bad attitudes. Republican ads make the Democrat case for them.
Candidate image has to be projected before the attack ads. Response is too late.
Earle-Sears should have been projected as the loving mother of all the Commonwealth People, heir to responsible and capable Glen Youngkin. From the first of January 2025, that should have been the first round of ads. Attack and party conflict comes after Labor Day. Image comes first
You are so right about “sitting.”
Trump got out to the rallies, again and again, as often as it took to create a campaign and a strong public image.
Virginia needs a group of serious, get in the car and go, Republican organizers and advisors. Then, when there is enough local support, there need to be 200 campaign events (candidate there in person) in the election year.
Ads DO NOT take the place of face-to-face hard work by the campaign and public visibility and vitality by the candidate.
