Last night’s election in various locales brought some interesting and well deserved results. Especially in my beloved state of Virginia. But appears that the “PEOPLE” struck back at the efforts of the politicians, propagandists, dark money PACs and billionaires and of course the fascist-leaning Christian Nationalist like the new House Speaker. Calm and clear heads in many of the competitive elections cast their ballots to retain our democracy and individual rights.
Especially here in Virginia where ALL of the Legislature’s seats were up for grabs. I was particularly concerned that evening as I readied for bed, but the belief in our Democratic Republic’s concerned voters came through with flying colors. I awoke to find that the Republicans had lost the House majority and the Democrats were now in charge of both the houses of our Virginia legislature. We were able now to stop the Youngkin Administration and the Republican legislators from further damaging our school system with made up crises for implementing book banning, true history of our Commonwealth and the USA, and implement a religious tone to the promotion of collegiate information/topics. Plus the right of women to make their own decisions along with their physicians regarding the health and well being of their bodies and in keeping the government and religious fanatics out of their faces. Problems were rampant in those items and the invasion of the rabid right wing Moms for Liberty terror groups were defeated in school board elections across our state.
SO, we survived another assault by having true interested citizens who stood up to the tyranny of the Republican Fascism/Christian Nationalism and showed the entire nation that Virginians still stood for individual rights and the historical definition of freedom in the Old Dominion Virginia.
Makes me proud once again of my home town and home state.
