Yeah, that's my impression too. The former exurbs like Loudoun are now suburbs and infested. Even the rural areas are infested. We were 60-40 Clinton and I don't see it getting much better. The one positive is the Trump enthusiasm is very high out here, much higher than 2016. But there are ambivalent union types who think Joe is just a union guy and not a socialist.
If VA is so darned hopeless, why did an unproven braggart with little help from the RNC/GOP and Republican approval in the mid 70s lose VA by only 4.9 points, with two Republicans "stealing" 4.4 of those points from him?
Good grief, reading the stuff on FR you'd think VA was NY or something. For the record, DJT lost NY by over 21 points, not 4.9 points.
That’s my view from the ground here in Fairfax as well. I hope I’m wrong- that would be absolutely insane. People are pretty pissed at the teachers union and the schools being closed in Fairfax indefinitely though and are beginning to realize a school board full of dems and unions may not be such a good thing- so maybe some on the fence / lean dem voters flip. We are in the bluest area of Fairfax County and my son is president of the newly launched young republicans at the public high school and they have 18 members. More membership than the young democrats. Last year there wasn’t a young republicans. Many Of these young republicans are minorities -the school is Title IX and is 45 percent hispanic, 30 percent Asian. 18 percent white and 7 percent black . There is an awakening under President Trump and Covid also has caused an awakening as to tyranny. Teenagers for the most part think it’s insane. They think it’s completely fabricated. They are having a debate about abortion, Covid response, gun control and race Monday. In a government school that is lovingly called by the students the ghetto school of fairfax county. This school that pushes the 1619 project and LGBTQ issues and gun control walkouts and safe spaces on them 24/7. These kids aren’t buying into it and think it’s BS. The overdone attempts at indoctrination by authority that has turned them into sceptics! I know the parents of some of these kids who have joined the young republicans - or Trumplicans- and they are liberal. It’s pretty awesome! I’m sure they have no idea that their kids are in the club!
kids and their parents are liberal....
