The last election was very successful for the DemocRats of the state of Virginia. They elected (?) a rabid Democrat governor, and an Attorney General who made online death threats to his political opponent. So now, the state resembles my own state of Washington with its trifecta of all-DemocRat governance, at least for the next four years. The winners have already shown how they idolize their counterparts in Washington, with a huge slate of new taxes, abortion support, and rejection of federal immigration laws. Below are two opinions on what this means for the people of Virginia, who range from farmers, horse breeders and residents of backwoods areas that haven’t changed much in a century; to government employees, huge defense contractors, and suburban shopkeepers.
First, my friend Cynical Publius opines on which subset of Virginia voters had the most influence, and why.
RE: Virginia As we all watch Virginia descend into an evil maelstrom of Marxist pro-criminality, please allow me to explain what happened and what the remedy is.
Think back to 2024. One of the major reasons the American people elected Donald Trump was so he would fulfill his campaign promise of reducing the size, scope and power of the evil Leviathan housed in the federal administrative state that controls our daily lives in a grotesquely unconstitutional manner. This necessarily meant greatly reducing the number of federal civilian employees.
As someone who has spent many years in military uniform supervising civilian federal employees, I can assure you that 95% of those civil service employees completely and utterly disregard the fact that their boss is the American electorate. So when the American electorate says “We think your job equals tyranny and we don’t want you employed in that job anymore,” instead of recognizing that the only people entitled to make this decision are the American voters, they resist, thinking that they are somehow more important than the Constitution and the electorate.
It just so happens that the great majority of these unrepentant federal workers reside in Northern Virginia. So when Trump did what the American people wanted him to do and he fired so many of these unneeded leeches, those unionized leeches decided to vote Democrat at all costs, as a matter of preserving their wholly unnecessary jobs and cushy livelihoods.
Another key fact is that the suburban areas of Northern Virginia like Fairfax and Loudon Counties control state-wide elections, and federal workers control those counties. So the inevitable happened and those unneeded, rent-seeking federal workers swung control of Virginia to Democrats.
And guess what? Those elected Democrats took opposition to reducing the size of the federal government as a mandate to rapidly enact an Orwellian set of laws that would make Karl Marx and Che Guevara blush: outrageous taxation; elimination of basic human rights like those embodied in the Second Amendment; pro-illegal alien policies; refusal to enforce federal immigration laws; draconian rules mandating that confused children can destroy their genitals without parental consent; laws supporting criminality; and a host of other insane laws and policies designed to turn Virginia into a modern version of Ingsoc.
Who is to blame for this evil? Federal workers. Their refusal to acknowledge the will of their boss (i.e., YOU, the American voter) has tossed an entire state into Marxist despair. The ability of federal civil “servants” to cling to their cushy, unneeded jobs is why Virginia has become an un-American hellscape overnight.
They simply DO NOT CARE that their fellow Americans are condemned to live in crime and tyranny, because that preserves their cushy sinecures. They are not civil “servants.” They are civil MASTERS, and they don’t care what you think.
Place the blame where it belongs. Federal workers did this to you, Virginia. THEY are to blame.
But there are two ways Trump can remedy this dire state of affairs:
1. Keep on cutting the bloated federal Leviathan.
2. Move federal agencies out of DC and spread them across the rest of the country, depriving this unionized cabal of unelected bureaucratic tyrants of the nefarious power of concentration. I have a message for Virginia (less Fairfax and Loudon Counties): the rest of America is here to save you. Hold fast, don’t give up, and we WILL eventually save you from this tyranny.
MAGA. MVGA.
Next, a post by L H Grey, whom I have not seen before, and she has a longer take on the actual plans the DemocRats have in the way of new laws and policies. This is a long thread, so I will only reproduce the first post in its entirety, but this is the “tell us how you really feel” meat of the post.
VIRGINIA’S DESCENT INTO HELL: DEMOCRATS’ 2026 LEGISLATIVE ABOMINATION UNMASKED A THREAD. And please take the time to read this whether you are in Virginia or not. You need to understand what is staring us in the fucking face. And this is bad. Very, very bad.
Listen closely, because what I’m about to lay out isn’t hyperbole…it’s a calculated, cold-blooded assault on everything that once made Virginia a bastion of American liberty. The Democrats, drunk on their trifecta control of the General Assembly under Governor Spanberger, have unleashed a legislative blitzkrieg in the 2026 session that reads like a manifesto from the depths of totalitarian fantasy.
This isn’t governance; it’s a psychological warfare operation designed to break the spirit of free people, erode sovereignty, and entrench one-party rule through fraud, fear, and financial strangulation.
History whispers warnings we ignore at our peril. Every empire that fel…Rome, Weimar Germany, Venezuela…began with the systematic disarmament of citizens, the corruption of electoral integrity, and the weaponization of criminal justice against the law-abiding while coddling predators.
Psychologically, this is classic authoritarian grooming: flood the system with chaos, make people dependent on the state for “safety,” then tighten the noose under the guise of compassion.
Virginia Democrats aren’t incompetent; they’re precise predators executing a playbook refined over decades of progressive radicalism.
Here is the venomous core of their agenda, bill by bill, category by category. This is no exaggeration…these are real proposals introduced in Richmond as of January 2026.
I hope you will click to see her entire thread, but you get the idea from this.
Well, residents of Virginia, welcome to what we in Washington State have had to put up with for over 40 years.
