After Abigail Spanberger won the Virginia governor’s race going away in November, the consensus among the political chattering class was that it’s a foregone conclusion the Republicans will lose in next year’s midterms. The experts said this was a referendum on President Donald Trump, and an early sign that his America First movement is cracking.
The same experts pointed to “key Democrat wins” in the New Jersey governor’s race and the New York City mayoral election as further indicators of a coming blue wave.
To be so smug in their predictions, the experts had to ignore the fact that the races were in two blue states and a deep blue city without Trump on the ballot. The polls even indicated that without Northern Virginia and its huge number of federal employees, Spanberger would have lost her race. In short, you can’t apply these outcomes to congressional and senate races across the country that simply.
But there is one other thing the experts ignored – with Spanberger taking office close to a year before the midterms, midterm voters will have had the chance to see exactly how voting blue worked out in Virginia and elsewhere. If the Republicans are smart, they will turn every midterm race into a referendum on Spanberger and the larger tax-and-spend Democrat approach to governing everywhere.
Enter Exhibit A. This news report is the ad that every Republican candidate needs to use to win his or her race in the midterms.
🚨 JUST IN: Virginia voters are shocked as Democrats roll out a tidal wave of new taxes — from deliveries to cars, gyms, and even pet services.pic.twitter.com/lH9AsPUJe4— Derrick Evans (@DerrickEvans4WV)

Virginia residents are now panicking as, not even a full month into 2026, their electricity bills are nearly tripling as they are being hit with new Democrat-approved energy rates, with one resident saying she is now paying $600 per month, more than her car payment.
So, how much damage has Spanberger done in a month? According to WJLA-V News in Arlington, here’s a list of the proposed taxes Spanberger and the Democrats have already introduced:
"New local sales tax in all Virginia counties and cities
New personal property tax on electric leaf blowers and electric landscaping equipment
Large employer tax
Gun and ammunition tax
New income tax brackets
Delivery tax, which would hit Amazon, Uber Eats, FedEx, and UPS orders in Northern Virginia
Investment income tax
Event tax
Storage facility tax
Gym membership tax
Dog walking tax
Dog grooming tax
Counseling tax
Digital personal property tax
New car taxes and highway use fees
Increase in the hotel tax in Arlington
Statewide speed cameras (not a tax, but more fines for drivers)
Vehicle repair tax
Home repair tax
Dry cleaning tax
Fantasy sports tax
Rideshare taxes"
Can also run ads against Dems (I believe all of them) who voted against the BBB - but a series of ads that they:
“voted against ending the tax on tips.”
“voted against ending the tax on overtime.”
“voted against lowering taxes on Social Security benefits for our seniors.”
Etc.
This is what you’ll get of nobody is in the executive office to stop the Democrats if they take control...
Democrats now hold the governorship, a majority in the Virginia House of Delegates, and the state Senate, and they wasted no time pursuing their leftist agenda beyond higher taxes. They’re seeking an extremely aggressive, leftward overhaul of the state’s constitution. There may be four “major” constitutional amendments on the ballot for Virginians in November.
The Virginia Mercury reported that the four amendments “would protect abortion access, enshrine same-sex marriage, automatically restore voting rights to felons who have completed their sentences and allow a rare mid-decade redistricting ahead of the 2026 congressional elections.”
If you want to see more impeachments, then vote Democrats in the midterms because this is guaranteed to happen.
California in the Shenandoah Valley.
electric landscaping equipment = electric lawnmowers, which two or three of my neighbors have purchased.
Come and Take It
Look who and what democrats support though. Chomos. Murderers. Crooks. Illegal aliens.....
A little tax ain’t gonna smarten them up.
That one sounds like it's specifically targeting the families of deceased veterans. That's super low, even for Democrats.
Will the democrats be taxing torches & pitchforks too?
Before they raised all these taxes they changed the election laws so that they can never lose.
what happened to affordability?
A Virginia judge already ruled against the redistricting plan, it’s dead.
Screw them they voted for it - pay your taxes and SHUT YOUR MOUTHS you morons.
One and only one benefit, I see from the global warming hoax, is that the batteries improved immensely.
The old cordless tools used to be practically useless, but now are great for home use.
I, for my home use, have ditched all gas and cord tools and use only cordless electrical tools.
No more problems with trying to start gas implements after they sat for while and no more spilling gas and oil.
My tiny grass patch is greatly served by cordless grass mover.
But I just use my tools occasionally.
The professionals, in daily use, are all using gas powered tools.
They do not have the problems I had with starting them and messing with gas and oil.
And, the batteries are not that great, they are not professional grade!
I bet if they had Voter ID and clean voting rolls, she wouldn’t have won.
Why not just hang the 'hammer and sickle' over the Governor's Mansion?
Turnout was so low in many of these losses that the Republican voters could have won some of them just by showing up.
Tax and spend is bad enough, but tax and steal is much worse, as legal residents of Minnesota are finding out.
I have zero sympathy for the morons who voted Spanberger into office. Let them wallow in their misery.
