Even when the Dems have to create white supremacist false flag they include a minority and a woman.
Actually, now that you mention minority supporters, there's a kind of funny thing about that. People have mostly been talking about the governors race, but the top of the ticket on both sides is a bit interesting. .
Here's the top three on the Democrat ticket:
For Governor
Terry R. McAuliffe
Relatively rich white guy, been involved in politics for at least 20 years.
For Lieutenant Governor
Hala S. Ayala
Daughter of an El Salvador immigrant, fairly mixed ancestry but basically a white hispanic woman. No real wealth in her background, was one of the state's many federal employees before she got into politics a few years ago.
For Attorney General
Mark R. Herring
A white guy, a lawyer and a bit of a career politician.
So a rich white guy, an average white guy, and a hispanic woman who is the daughter of an immigrant.
Here's the top three for the Republican ticket:
For Governor
Glenn A. Youngkin
A rich white guy, just getting involved in politics.
For Lieutenant Governor
Winsome E. Sears
Jamaican immigrant brought over by her father when she a child, been involved in politics on and off over the last 20 years.
for Attorney General
Jason S. Miyares
Son of a Cuban immigrant, so a white hispanic guy. Got involved in politics several years ago.
So one rich white guy, one immigrant black woman, and one hispanic guy who is the son of an immigrant.
So while this does appear to be the Democrats attempting a weird "Remember Charlottesville" stunt, it really shouldn't be surprising to see a women or a black guy among the Republican supporters. The top of the Republican ticket actually has the minority and immigrant advantage over the top of the Democrat ticket.
Now, I have no idea how these other two races are going, but this also might help explain why the Democrats screaming "white supremacy" hasn't been very effective in this race.
why aren't governor incumbents in Virginia allowed to have consecutive terms in office, anyway? Seems gamey.
Old state constitution decisions made by people that distrusted the idea of a powerful governor hanging around for multiple terms. Combined with inertia, and the lack of any real pressure for a change.
