I was under the impression that Washington was pretty much down the liberal toilet forever, a la California, Massachusetts, and New Jersey because the major Democrat parasite nest of Seattle (and vicinity) dominates the vote in that state.

Do the decent, traditional American families of Washington stand a chance? Is there still hope?

Yes, there is, but only if they discard the notion that they've done all they can by voting.

I don't know how many voters we've got in our once traditionally Republican state legislative district, but it's probably in the hundreds of thousands. In the last election my wife and I worked (primarily) for a Republican trying to unseat a liberal whose money comes mostly from outside the district. We spent weekend after weekend working precincts that didn't have a single Republican willing to step up and be a PCO -- and so did the ten other volunteers, most of whom we've known from other campaigns. But our numbers were so small that precincts were skipped because there was nobody and no time to cover them.

It was heartbreaking to see our candidate lose by a percentage point, knowing that if just 1/10 of 1% of even just the conservative Republicans in our district had volunteered but one afternoon to help, we would have had dozens of times the manpower -- and likely taken the election.

But they didn't so we didn't so our candidate didn't -- and we all get to pay the price.

Yes.
Be patient, my friend. Be patient.
So long as those conservative Republicans continue to have big families with lots of children, the "zero population growth" pro-abortion socialists (who now control the state's political apparatus) will eventually die out, and the new generations who grew up instilled with morals and values from conservative parents will take over.
Oh happy day!
Pray you'll still be alive to see it.
