Virginias gun extremist Lieutenant Governor says shootings in the state are not caused by easy access to guns, but by her administrations failure to identify gunmen before they open fire and to jail them pre-crime. 🤔

(2,373 posts)And anyone who actually cared about the candidates knew that before the election. Unfortunately, I suspect that conservatives reflexively voted the entire Republican ticket when they voted for Youngkin as Governor, assuming that the other candidates were as normal as Youngkin. Theyre not.
Roughly 80% of my neighbors are batshit, Fux-watching repugnant repubs who know very little about the candidates they vote for. The R behind their names is all they seem to care about.

(17,173 posts)Virginia could still smell the teargas, smoke and blood of Jan 6 waifting across the Potomac when we went to the polls and installed straight-up fascist fuckwads to the 3 highest statewide offices.
In fact, if you want to know where the national GQP "woke" shit targeting schools and libraries, and the hatred and dehumanization of LGBTQ Americans came from, you need look no further than the elections of Youngkin, Earl-Sears and Jason Miyares.
Retrumplicans learned that treason, fascism and violent insurrection doesn't fucking matter if you give people something to hate.
That message was sent by Virginians.
