“Instead of voting for Winsome Sears…the married, Second Amendment–supporting, church-going conservative…they chose Abigail.
They didn’t want a pro-family Christian.
They didn’t want constitutional restraint.
They didn’t want fiscal discipline.
They wanted the progressive package.
Abortion absolutism.
Identity politics.
Hostility toward traditional marriage.
Policy built on ideology instead of math.
Now the electric bills are exploding.
Fifty-two new taxes landing on Virginians.
Fees layered on fees.
Costs passed straight to families.
And now they’re complaining.
That’s the part that’s rich.
This wasn’t hidden.
This wasn’t buried.
This wasn’t a surprise add-on.
They voted for it.
They endorsed it.
They celebrated it.
You don’t reject the candidate who warned you…
then act shocked when the invoice arrives.
Elections have consequences.
Ideology doesn’t power the grid.
Reality always sends the bill.”

Spanberger, a moderate Democrat, won by more than 15 points and the Democrats added 13 seats in the State House of Delegates to command an overwhelming 64-36 majority.
Tough break for the right wing whiners on X.
@Mott-The-Hoople
That's what happens when the poor become the majority.
That's what happens when poor people watch politics and vote for whoever is promising them something.
The Democrats always cater to the poor vote and then the cities and towns turn to shyt.
@fornichessate saidSpanberger won 63% of the vote of those making under $50,000 and 64% of the vote of those making over $200,000. https://edition.cnn.com/election/2025/exit-polls/virginia/general/governor/0

Barely educated white voters were the last Republican stronghold in Virginia; they won white voters, no degree, by almost 2:1 while losing white voters with college degrees by 57% to 43%.

Be careful what you wish for. You think they are on your side, they are not, they are using you to retain power. The effects are on YOU too.

ignores the Constitution,
has no fiscal discipline,
is full of identity politics,
is run by a man who cheats on his wife and isn't married to the mother of his children,
Policy built on ideology instead of math.
Cost of tariffs passed straight on to families.
