Horribly mainstream is combining Let’s Go, Brandon with a Squid Game allusion.

After what the Democrats have done with COVID hysteria, lockdown, mask mandates and now vaccine mandates, I will never support that party again.
I’m very much in camp DeSantis these days.
Diehard democratic voters will still be waving little blue flags when the lights finally go out, the streets are overcome and the entire populace fights each other on the streets.
Strange how no one compares death rates per capita in Florida to California or New York….even before you adjust for higher cancer death rates, mental illness, etc, resulting from over the top lockdown measures.
To your list add: the Afghanistan debacle, Kamala Harris-the-joke/joker- of a VP, support of CRT is schools, the disaster at the southern border (and just Biden’s laisse faire immigration policy in general), returning the Interior Dept to Wash DC after Trump moved it to Colorado (the USA needs to break up the DC federal govt colossus where the average income is so high from lobbyists and federal dollars they don’t even experience national recessions.), Biden’s disasterous cabinet – General Milley who’s way out over his skis pandering to China, National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan who it appears is going to be implicated for perpetuating Hillary’s Russia Hoax, Transportation Secretary Buttigeig who has completely lost the plot or never really found it and is no where to be seen re: The Southwest Airline problems….just about every cabinet member ‘has issues’. Not to mention the looniness of Nancy Pelosi & Chuck Schumer who can’t seem to fart-straight in Congress. Say what you will about Trump – he got a lot of good things done for the USA – many of which Biden has reversed through Executive Orders. Biden /Harris is a disaster.

Education, education, education! NOVA is heavily Democrat and I would have said, despite parts of VA being deep red, that Youngkin sadly does not stand a chance. McAuliffe throwing his lot in so strongly with the school boards may cost him in terms of turnout and independents.
In Northern Virginia parents are increasingly frustrated with the attitudes of school boards: the COVID response, the equity/CRT policies and the silencing of parents who complain. Take a look at the current goings on at Thomas Jefferson High in Fairfax (the WSJ has a piece on the PTSA leader today and his campaign against the school board).
In Loudoun County school board meetings have been closed to comment due to ‘aggressive’ parents. One of the parents being arrested being Scott Smith of Leesburg who wanted to talk about the assault on his daughter in a high school bathroom by a transgender student, a student who apparently assaulted another girl in an empty classroom not long after. The school board closed comments before he was due to speak and he then got an argument with part of the usual kindness crew who said she did not believe his daughter.
See also in Loudoun County, Beth Barts who is being recalled for after she made a list of parents in a private Facebook group who she said should be tracked so that their claims about the school board could be countered (mostly claims about CRT).
Parents across the board are seriously unhappy with the way school boards are being managed, and no surprise. It will be an uphill battle, but I would love to see Youngkin pull this off.

Well, I enjoyed this read, a relief as I was getting weary of Unheard. I am British but always try to fit Virginia into my US holiday schedules. I had noticed subtle changes through general vibes that you tend to pick up when you stay in places, during my latest visits, there were things abroad that I didn`t like, folk stirring pots simply to course rancour.
An aside – I was lucky enough to visit the old Museum of the Confederacy before it was ” absorbed” into the Woke-fest institution that is now the American Civil War Museum. I am all for telling a holistic story but it is the predictably woke narrative that drives me mad.
In a way its somehow appropriate that a spotlight has fallen on this State.
I have ties to the state going back thirty years and visit often. Appalls me how much Virginia has changed. The Peoples Republic of Northern Virginia, its kudzu-like vines spreading along I-95, has come to dominate Old Dominion.

Win Virginia. Win. Not steal. Virginia does not belong to the Democrats.

A bit of a misleading headline. While NOVA is certainly aligned with the DC bigger government democrat voter, the school issue has been ugly for big government fans. Many are turned off by the arrogance of the school boards and unions who have abandoned their clients. McAuliffe erred in suggesting the boards know more than parents about what children need to learn. If the NOVA turns on him, he is lost. The D’s own urban areas but the R’s dominate other areas. The balance is too close to call, but the incompetence of the D’s has hurt their cause.

Virginia, like the rest of the country, asked for it and they are getting it. One in every seven VA residents is foreign-born.
They thought anybody could be an American, so they let anybody in. One million legal immigrants mostly from the Third World per year for 40 years. Fools.
Now they whine about how things have changed and blame the Democrats — who do they think is voting heavily for the Democrats?
Great Britain would never be so foolish as to believe anybody could be English, right?
“‘Let’s Go Brandon'”
(for those of you up on the Biden memes)
I know it, so it must have gone horribly mainstream.

Aka ‘deathSantis’ in Florida.
Only the a-holes call him that.
Well I guess I’m one of them.
Admitting the problem is the first step to recovery.

Fear is deadlier than COVID.

Is it fulfilling being a pawn of the Establishment?
