Virginia voted, and the Democrats treated the Republicans and Independents in the state like Bill Clinton treated so many women over the years – forcing their will on everyone else. If southern and rural Virginians didn’t want to be overpowered into submission, they shouldn’t have worn such a short skirt.
In an election decided by three points after last year’s Governor’s race was won by the Democrat by more than 15 points, Democrats switched the state’s Congressional district map from six Democrats and five Republicans to 10 Democrats. Hitler would be proud.
This is why we are a Constitutionally Limited Republic and not a democracy. Despite what everyone with a nose ring and purple hair would say, our Founding Fathers were brilliant men. They didn’t do this by accident or even luck; they weighed all the options and chose the best.
Democrats in Virginia, and across the country, have been trying to undo their brilliance since they emerged from the womb. Virginia just did some.
Before then, New York did it. The Empire State was the first shot in the redistricting wars, despite what the liberal media and Democrats (but I repeat myself) would have you believe.
A guy named Matt Forney laid out the case on Twitter, writing, “The first mid-decade redistricting of the 2020s was when New York passed a gerrymandered map in 2024. This was after they had tried to cram all the state's Republicans into four out of 26 districts only to get sued for violating the state constitution and a special master was appointed to draw fair maps. In the 2022 midterms, the extreme unpopularity of both Joe Biden and Kathy Hochul saw the Republicans gain four of New York's seats (the net change was only +3 due to New York losing a Republican district in the Buffalo suburbs). This was the best result the GOP had in the state in decades. A year later, the Democratic state government sued to replace the fair map with a slightly-less gerrymandered map and the Republicans lost three seats in 2024 despite getting roughly the same percentage of the vote.”
You can, as they say, look it up for yourself.
It wasn’t Texas; it was Democrats. It’s always Democrats.
Our government was set up so there was a place for both the people and the states in the legislative process. The House was elected by the people, and the Senate was selected by the state governments. The 17th Amendment to the Constitution – the direct election of Senators by voters in the states – fundamentally transformed our government for the worse.
Thanks to that, there were now both sides of the Legislative Branch pandering to the public. The Senate used to protect the rights of the state against federal incursion; now it demands that incursion. The rights of states are irrelevant, as are the rights of individuals to leftists. Centralized power is all that matters, and “democracy” is the way to get that.
True democracy is majority rule, on anything. No sane person would accept their rights and liberties being subjected to the will and whims of 50 percent plus one of any group of people. Even Democrats, as crazy as they are, don’t do that. How many referendums have you seen win at the ballot box, only to be enjoined almost immediately in response to a liberal lawsuit filed the second they lost?
Democrats only support democracy when they win, which is to say they don’t support democracy at all. Their leadership is evil people, not stupid ones. (Their voters, on the other hand…)
Democracy is a horrible form of government that always leads to centralized power. That’s why Democrats use it; it’s a very effective weapon. But they don’t mean it, as evidenced by when it doesn’t go their way.
They won in Virginia, but just barely. The courts should toss the whole thing out over how it was done and a myriad of other legal issues. But even if they don’t, let this be a lesson to freedom-loving Americans across the country that the other half of the population is waiting to see an opening and pounce on them and their rights the second they get the chance.
While we’re still a republic, Republicans and Independents need to recognize the threat the left represents and work, act and vote accordingly.
