2021 Virginia State election - Federal Beaurocracy and National Establishment vs. Everyone else.

When it comes down to it, I think credit for flipping the VA election might go to Chris Rufo, the journalist who's been talking about CRT more than anyone else. Amusingly, he was granted a Twitter checkmark earlier this year, but it was revoked within a handful of months because he was, according to Twitter, "incorrectly Verified."

its alot of factors. The Loudun county scandal also impacted dem/rep margins. CRT being entirely denied to be existing yet parents involved with their kids are aware of it. immigration is also an issue in VA that brought out MAGA voters.

with NJ...murphy being a failure on covid and using govt to attack business leaders like the Gym guy along with the recent drop by Veritas are factors. Also with NJ the GOP did not do ANYTHING to help Ciattrelli's campaign.

Credit for the loss goes to McAuliffe and the folks working on his campaign, and all of his backers including Biden. It was their race to lose, and they lost it.

I think the NJ vote was also helped by how hyped up the VA vote was. It reminded people that there was an election this year.

The real story of this election though was Youngkin managed to find 10s of thousands of new voters in Appalachia. Turnout in the West was enormous. And while individually the voting pool in those counties is small, it all added up pretty quick. Losing Virginia Beach was the final straw and on that one I can blame the Bidens vaccine mandate for the military. It brought out alot of voters who usually skip off year elections.

there was also a larger amount of involvement from republicans on a basic level.

"It doesnt matter who votes..it matter who counts the votes." Virginians decided there were too many questions and the only way to 'fix' that is for locals to get involved on election comittees. Historically Democrats have been running the best ground game. Republicans NEED TO VOLUNTEER

It was mostly when McAuliffe refuse to comply with what the people wanted. Him or someone close to him stated that they'll double down on CRT in schools. But it was Loudoun County that I feel got McAuliffe to be voted out. He refused to show support to the victims, like he should have, instead he was silent about that. People remember those things.

This is how you stop "fortification."

Lie: if you get polled, lie. Don't tell them your party, or lie about it, lie about your opinion, etc. Make it look like your county is 80% Dem so they they think it's a slam dunk. Make it like 2016 where the already lazy Dem voter thought Hilldawg had it in the bag so they stayed home. This will also prevent them from having the correct amount of 3 AM ballots.

Volunteer: If it only matters who counts the votes, then count the votes. Get involved. The polling people at every election I've voted in are elderly women. Maybe when they get too old some nice young 25 year olds could replace them. Take a day off work, school, whatever. It's one day.

Vote: Then after doing both of the above (or at least the first one), swarm the polls. They won't be able to fortify enough to overcome it. Hell, maybe even start early voting by mail like "they" do. If they withhold 10K mail in votes until the eleventh hour, but 30% of those 10K are for the not woke candidate, then that could still be game over for them. It still wouldn't be enough.

Not voting because "it doesn't matter, muh doom" is exceptional. This CAN be combatted.

Well, it's good to be wrong sometimes. What's happening in New Jersey?

Mcauliff also had his own record working against him. The only memorable thing he did as governor was the absolute debacle at Charlottesville. Which is also what made the Lincoln Projects reminder of that doubly hilarious. Alot of people believe he deliberately allowed that mayhem to happen. After all, When the Virginia State Police cleared the park, they drove the right wing people into the left wing. That was when the fighting broke out. Not during the rally, but after VSP broke it up.

He also very stupidly did not work to get Douglas Wilders endorsement, which really hurt him in the black vote. Mcauliff lost chesterfield County because of that. That is where the middle class Blacks live. Wilder also said Mcauliff talked to him "once" while Youngkin was calling him all the time, and in the final week Wilder put Mcauliff and Northam on blast saying that for all their claims to support the black community they had precious little to show for it. Youngkin begun running that statement in his ads on the eve of the election.

It cannot be understated how bad that is. Wilder is revered in Virginia. On top of being the first Black governor of the State, he was a GOOD one. He's one of our elder statesmen and when he calls you out shits bad.

I really want to know who planned this campaign out. Mcauliff catastrophically misread the mood of the State. I have to wonder if they fell into the propaganda trap. The Democrats have been sniffing their own farts for so long they actually DO believe shit smells like roses now. Mcauliff Ran his campaign like his opponent was a CNN depiction of the opposition as opposed to who he actually was.

The events leading up were perfect for VA to flip. I was more surprised at New Jersey. It looks like a lot of it was former Dems pissed off at Biden and that with being affected by NY politics to an extent too.

This is a massive loss for the Dems and it is only going to get worse. The mid-terms are going to be a slaughter, we could see the bloc that is NY, VA, W-VA, NJ, and others flip or begin to flip. This is the worst time for it to happen with the Democrats having massive leadership issues. Sure the GOP is constantly marred with "The shadow of Trump" but it's fear because it was a revised GOP that was actually winning.

22-24 is going to be fascinating politically with the Dems in a massive bind. Progressivism has annihilated the Democrats because they polluted their own politics with what is somewhat marxist shit. Moderates are re-thinking their allegiance as they hate the Squad, fuck their own leader Pelosi despises the Squad.

Youngkin should send a basket to the Lincoln Project for the free votes.

These points are true, but what I'm saying is that Chris Rufo's coverage of CRT may have been the originating ripple effect to cause these other things to happen:
Rufo raises alarm on CRT in both school and work > parents fight with teachers > McAuliffe's dumbass quote against parents leading education > teachers want to sic FBI on "domestic terrorist" parents > Daily Wire (Ben Shapiro) exposes Loudun County scandal

I feel so relieved to that the anti-white, SPLC donator won the election. We are really making progress!

I really feel that one of the most impactful results of this election for the upcoming mid-terms isn't just the control of Virginia, or the demoralization of the national Democrat party. Its the development, test run and success of the grass-roots anti-fortification efforts like involving people in the committees, training poll watchers, and prepping legal challenges. It looks like they have a system now that they should be able to roll out nation-wide with minor tweaks to any place they think will be 'fortified'.

Taking fraud off the table cuts the legs out from any attempt to staunch the bleeding that will happen next year.

It's not "somewhat". It's overt at this point. The heads of BLM are have openly said they are revolutionary marxists ffs.

Hopefully Youngkin makes sure the Loudon County diarrhea fungus creatures get walked out on dog leashes live on TV and get prosecuted.

This is devolving into a fediverse argument about if hardcore lolicon counts as child pornography. I'm waiting for one of them to bring up how she's canonically an 8,000 year old vampire.
