The columnist argues that redistricting in Virginia yields a 10-1 Democratic advantage
Let’s be completely clear. After the narrow electoral victory achieved by the anti-American redistricting process, which aimed to give Virginia, a 45% Republican state, a 10-to-1 advantage in its delegation to the House of Representatives, Democrats became capable of doing anything, no matter how immoral or duplicity.
And it’s not just politicians this time. It was Democratic voters, mostly in wealthy, elite northern counties, who cynically chose to disenfranchise their poorer neighbors to the south.

Just as elite Virginians from places like Fairfax and Richmond went to war in 1860 to challenge Republicans And to preserve what they saw as the moral imperative of slavery, this week their heirs, the same Virginia Democrats, nuked democracy.
Virginia Democrats criticize gerrymandering and blame Trump for redistricting
Today, the issue is not slavery, although, let’s be honest, illegal immigrant nannies in Loudoun County come at a discount. But instead, Democrats want us to believe that president Donald Trump He is such a threat to America that rules must be broken to stop him.
Funny they said the exact same thing Abraham Lincoln.
Democrats in the Mother of the States knew all too well how terrible this new redistricting process would be. That’s why they are The new map never appeared In one ad, he mentioned the new 10-1 D-to-R ratio, insisting that this radical act of so-called justice is only temporary.
A Democratic strategist says the party lacks “moral authority” in the redistricting battle in Texas
The temporary argument was particularly disgusting, as if stealing people’s votes from time to time was a good thing. maybe Virginia should change its logo From “Sic Semper Tyrannis” (ever like tyrants) to “Tyrannidem Aliquando” (sometimes tyrannical).
Democrats have argued that they are simply trying to keep up with the redistricting process TexasBut Texas did not give the Republican Party 90% of its seats in the House of Representatives. He did not create a situation where a wealthy city like Fairfax had an octopus hold over poorer rural voters.
Basically, people in Virginia who get dirt under their fingernails at work are being told by screaming, rich white ladies carrying Prada bags that they don’t have a say in Congress anymore. In grand old Virginia style, Elites will rulewill serve the peasants.
Professional Republicans, and the politicians who pay them, need this to be a wake-up call. As I am I reported last week from the south Not only were Virginia, the state, and the national Republican Party spending too much and working too much, they seemed to be barely trying.
GOP insiders tell me that a handful of political consulting firms handle nearly all GOP campaigns, including soft-spoken efforts to Stop manipulation. But these lovable losers, the same ones who warned us about Trump actually winning, are getting paid no matter the results.
Meanwhile, Senate Majority Leader John ThuneRSD, who believes he is a pastor, not a politician, insists that we still cannot blow up the filibuster to pass the Save America and Protect Our Elections Act, because if he does, Democrats might eventually do so, too.
With all due respect to Thune, the Democrats are fair Almost every Republican was disenfranchised Virginia. They will not respect procrastination. To keep suggesting they will do that is simple madness at this point.
It is time for Republicans to think big and realize the enormity of the battle they are fighting. Proposals to Add lefty Arlington and Alexandria to Washington, D.C. should definitely be on the table.
additional, Plan by republican West Virginia State Senator Chris Rose’s proposal to offer about 30 border counties in Virginia the opportunity to join the Mountain State should be vigorously pursued.

People like to make jokes about my home state, West Virginia, and yes, we may be poorer and less educated than other states, but we don’t allow wealthy elites to steal the very rights that gave our nation its bloody birth.
These men in 1863 chose wisely when they created West Virginia, “By God,” and because of them, I woke up Wednesday morning with my family. Voting rights connected. Which is more than I can say for my neighbors in the Old Dominion, who have returned to the rule of the rich and powerful.
