“That is merely a symptom of a decadent and sick society. The fact is that the Greatest Generation built an empire and gave it to their idiot sons who promptly squandered their inheritance. We are going to tank the USA immigrants or not. It’s in our DNA.”

Oh so true!! If you want to see exactly how true, watch the first five minutes of this video about the book Coming Apart. http://bit.ly/36TVydS

At least one person gets it.

Eric Holder / Obama Redistricting attack plan was focused on VA .
The Corrupt Bushy VA Gop ignored it .
The same fools that didnt even research or attack the Black faced Governor during the election cycle.

Amen, brother. I'm kind of surprised it took you so long, but then you were in Chesapeake instead of northern Virginia!

I was really surprised at what I found on my first trip to northern Virginia more than 20 years ago. My one lasting impression was that it was a hot, crowded, sterile place ... and this was an impression that was formed in my mind while I was sitting in bumper-to-bumper traffic on the Beltway -- on a Saturday morning.

It may have been the only time in my life when I (figuratively) got out of my car and kissed the ground when I returned home -- to NEW JERSEY, of all places. LOL.

Again -- this was 20 years ago. Immigrants didn't ruin Virginia. White Americans from Maryland did.

The nation cannot survive as a whole with the devolution of the Virginias and the Colorados and the Californias into neo-Peronist dictatorships. Virginia and Tennessee will eventually come to share a very uneasy border.

"In any collaboration between two men (or groups) who hold different basic principles, it is the the more evil or irrational one that wins." -- Ayn Rand, Capitalism - The Unknown Ideal

When you engage in the feckless collaborations and make the lopsided deals the GOP is so fond of, ruin is the inevitable result. Collectivist ideals need to be blasted off the face of the Earth, but don't look to the Republican Party to even attempt a genuine fight for liberty. They are just the faction of Deep State-affiliated narcissistic sociopaths who couldn't win their local or state elections with a (D) after their names, so they tried it with an (R), instead.

I’d be willing to be that local, state, and federal employees living in VA vastly outnumber illegal alliens.

If so, even if you get rid of the illegals, you still have a problem. A problem that you are paying through the nose to screw you silly.

Virginia has been in decline for many years but most just covered their eyes and refused to see it. I lived the first few years of my life in Virginia and returned for a stint in the Marine Corps in the early 90’s. It was obvious to me then that things had drastically changed, Washington D.C. was stretching far beyond what I remembered as a kid. Government became the main business of northern Virginia and as we all know most government civil service workers are leftists, native Virginians were becoming a minority to bureaucrats raised in New York and California that were moving in. I knew then that it was only a matter of time before conservative Virginia was gone, it might not have been illegal immigrants at the time but it was being overrun with coastal immigrants bringing their leftie agenda with them. That was over 25 years ago and the writing on the wall was showing then.

I noticed the author refer to Tennessee as “deep-red”. I wouldn’t be so sure of that, Tennessee is starting to show some early signs of leftism itself. It wouldn’t surprise me to see TN trend towards becoming the Colorado of the south, the trends are not all in a positive direction there.

VA had its own “Redness” issues - there we’re fault lines in the GOP there, long before it was a national issue. Senator John Warner (R), organized a third party candidate to run against Ollie North in 1994, to ensure North did not become a Senator as well. When you have that kind of a GOP in your state, it’s hard to stay united - John Warner is probably happy the RATs won there as well.

“Yeah, yeah, I know I’m supposed to just say something about illegal aliens”

This entire mess started when we took in refugees from Russia in the early 20th. We imported hard core Marxists. They burrowed in like ticks and have been busy ‘transforming’ this country ever since.

Texas will soon fall.

The trend is certainly heading in that direction thanks to massive ILLEGAL ALIENS invading & voting.

Where is the TX Gov?

Not sure where you’re from, but demographically, places like Falls Church and Arlington, look a lot like LA; and Vienna is a Middle East colony.

Virginians will be surprised how fast VA will change into a progressive shit hole. When maggot Malloy stole the election in 2011 to make Ct a one party state, he transformed a prosperous, business friendly state into a progressive hell hole in just 8 years. Of course the loathe some Lowell Weicker set the stage by jamming the income tax down our throats in 1991.

If you look at the facts, immigrants from Chicago, Flint, Cleveland, Pittsburgh .... Rust Belt cities to TX, GA, FL are the real threat, not immigrants from South of the border.

Jobless Rust Belt immigrants move to the jobs. No Republican, no Conservative is operating a welcom wagon to meet and greet us Yankees and ask us to consider why there are no jobs in Chicago but plenty of jobs in Rust Belt states.

Ohio is turning Red because Ohio Republicans have jobs and Ohio Democrats do not. So it is Ohio Democrats who are leaving the state and leaving a higher ratio or Republicans in Ohio.

Ohio’s good fortune is the reverse in TX, GA, FL, NC, TN.
But that could be flipped. Those voters could be flipped. Here in GA those yankee voters are ripe for flipping. But the Republicans, The state GOP, Heritage, CATO, AFP are so busy preaching to the choir they do not see what is happening.

If CA has 5+ million ILLEGALS, then TX has an equal number...or more.

TX needs to be more proactive in discouraging ILLEGALS - i.e. no public education, no welfare, etc.

I was born & raised in Ohio and been here all my life except for 5 years in Hollywood...and it’s good to see OH turn back to red.
