Virginia, please don’t become Colorado. Don’t ruin a perfectly good state.

STARVE THE BEAST!

Gradually phase out and eliminate the scam of “location pay” in which federal employees in blue states are paid substantially more in blue states than they are paid for the same work in flyover country. Do that by reducing the “location pay” by half of each year’s pay increase in base pay.

It is technically possible to build a nice house for $50,000.

Levying $7,000/year in property tax on a house and charging $20,000/year for a family’s health care cost coverage isn’t going to be possible for many more years.

Most of us live most of our lives in areas of a few square miles.

My county in Florida much resembles the Fairfax County, Virginia I left in 1994.

Colorado has indeed been Californicated. Thankfully, I’m capable of leaving for a civilized state and plan to do so as soon as our obligations to my wife’s father end.

Quitting is not an option for patriots. If a fix is not possible now, Democrats should at least be made pay a price for their wins. How about ads detailing the vote cheating, illegality, and unfairness involved in the gerrymandering vote?

In 1970 one in a 100 there was a foreigner, now it’s one in 10. Also, as DC has consolidated massive amounts of power since that time, since the national security state is utterly exploded in size, all of the companies and banking related to those industries have moved there. That means most of Virginia is centered around the goal of a large uncontrolled National government.
So the answer is no, it cannot be fixed. At least not unless that land slide in the Canary islands happens. But we can’t count on that.

The intelligence community, the military, progressive women, and illegal aliens, and foreigners run Virginia now. All hard left.

We Virginians are sick.

NOVA - Northern VA, is 99% Fed Gov & communist, and solid Blue now drops all the way down to Fredericksburg, half way into the state, as Fed workers have to live not-to-far from their big-bucks Fed jobs. Abigail was one of those Fed workers, CIA no less - USSR owned.

NOVA is NOT VIRGINIA! More like the USSR!

And all of us conservatives can do nothing about it - we are vastly outnumbered.

Add to that a weak Repub party and we are TOAST!

Be nice if we could cut off NOVA into Northern VA like West VA - but no way to make that happen. And NOVA LOVES control over the whole state. Look at a map of districts and see how Red most of VA is......but we are powerless.....

And I and our 8 kids are too embedded here to move - tho some want to move to FLA where I and my family came from.....

In a word? No. Only if a couple of meteors land in Richmond and NOVA.

Virginia turned from Red to Blue because Washington expanded massively. How can Virginia be fixed? Chop the size of the federal government. Get rid of federal workers. All these games about increasing the size of DC or redistricting aren’t going to solve the problem. Since Obama, a huge number of militant government workers were imported into the state who will vote Dem. Will Republicans cut the federal workforce? Probably not. So the problem won’t be fixed.

Don’t forget that former “conservative” Governor Youngkin sign the state “marriage equality” bill into law, which soured a LOT of conservatives in the state for the Party. He could have easily vetoed it and banked a lot of conservative bona fides.

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.

Make DC square again - that will help. Unfortunately hte testosterone level in DC repubs is probably not up to the task.
