Virginia Mega Thread: The Youngkin Administration

When will these people learn to just take their kids out of public schools and then vote to totally defund them since all the moneyed children will be in private schools where we do control the curriculum

I can't wait for the Democrats to win just so they confiscate all of NSV's earnings. I would commit so much voter fraud for whatever politician created that outcome.

I don't think NSV is even that rich, and wealth confiscation is just bad policy in general, look at how well it has worked out, wherever it's been tried.

And I thought the GOP was the party of individual responsibility...

Good thing I am a registered Democrat who votes Democrat more than half the time since I don't believe in that myth.

This election is really bringing out the worst in Atlas, huh? Good god.

Good thing so many have vowed to quit the forum if their candidate loses. We all know we can trust Virginians to follow through on their promises to stay off this website.

I don't understand why someone would donate to a campaign the night before the election? It seems completely useless.

Because it's legalized bribery. The goal of donating to a campaign isn't to help it win over votes, it's to bet on the winner. They can use that money to pay their consultant nephew to make a meme for all the donor cares. Who gives $10,000 because they believe in someone's platform?

The next step for some in the election mafia will be to downplay the significance of this race as McAuliffe was a "bad candidate" (which, he was) that uniquely underperformed. So... how does that explain the New Jersey results, or the other statewide races that look nearly identical (with an incumbent Dem AG likely losing)? Or the competitive HoD?

Thank you for all the thankless work you do in promoting truth. I know you continuously got called out a lot for trying to be accurate. There were accusations that you disappear when the GOP is doing bad, but it is not because you are gloating in other instances and absent (like NSV lol) when things are bad. It is because you are a critical voice needed to disrupt the incorrect groupthink in certain instances. Appreciate all your commentary.

Great call on calling this out. We went through this with Hillary Clinton, and we go through it again here. These people are raved about as "great candidates" all over the place until they lose. Robby Mook was a genius leading a blowout romp until unforeseen defeat in certain victory. Insane to see narratives rewritten overnight by the people who intensely bicker and scream loudly about how right they were and how wrong others were....until they are wrong and need this excuse the explain why they were wrong. No one ever self-evaluates.

Dems got cocky after 2020 for the narrowest of wins in an election that had no business being close. They treated it like a devastating blow and rejection of Trump because they won by half a point. Because that's what they needed to tell themselves to get their agenda across. Completely misguided.

Glenn Youngkin is the last kind of Republican candidate I'd expect to over perform with hispanics - he's basically got that Mitt Romney asthetic.  You need a strongman like Trump to fire up the low info hispanics, not a guy who looks like his mom just knitted him his fleece.  He didn't project strength.

youngkin was basically the perfect fit for college whites in va and he still lost them according to exit polls

i mean, sweet jesus, who does the gop have to nominate to win back these voters?

To go a verse further in my own signature -

Now you intellectuals may not like it
But there ain't nothin' that you can do
'Cause there's a whole lot more of us
Common folks then there ever will be of you

The GOP made a great trade to get real and dependable Americans instead of a slim majority of a smaller group of entitled people who think they are superior people because they paid for a piece of paper to say so.

I LOVE THE POORLY EDUCATED!

Youngkin derangement syndrome is so real. It's hard to imagine having a strong opinion about this guy one way or the other, and it's nice that at least 15% of Virginians aren't complete hacks
