What? No, it won't affect me, period, ever. That's what I was led to believe.
@TLDR20, can you clarify here? I assumed your political theory of localized protection from national issues was *NOT* time-bound.

Virginia sees highest-ever voter turnout in non-Presidential Election year - Cville Right Now
The numbers show a much larger turnout this year than ever before, by at least 100k.
All the non-partisan news channels are dunking on the Republicans for losing in mainly blue states. This Mamdani election reminds me of all the hope and change of Obama's first term.
Not much will change, and NYC doesn't have a good track record of electing anybody worth a damn. Look at the congressional districts...

Speaking to the larger culture and the current MAGA slap fight...
I told y'all this is exactly what was going to happen. The moderates are dead, and young American males are marching steadfast to the right.
Nate is an early adopter. The rank and file come next.
"They have no idea what they've wrought".

Amazing what the executive enforcing the law does for this country.
If Fuentes lost his ability to speak tomorrow I wouldn't care, dude needs to find Jesus via water boarding. Dude was telling people to vote against Trump. He's essentially a Democrat.

Lmfao, I don't think you're aware of Fuentes then.
He was anti-Trump because he's farther right; dude literally wants a Catholic Theocracy.

Who cares. He voted for Kamala.
I think you're making assumptions dude.
The guy pretty clearly said he was never voting for her and his hate for Trump was because he was (paraphrasing) "too submissive to the Jews".

Using words like "war" within the topic of politics, makes you no better than radical leftists. Words have meaning, which is why the political violence from the left is happening. Inciting violence on the right will only ensure an actual civil war. The only solution is actual dialogue and getting people on both sides out of their bubbles.

Youngkin in Virginia was an outlier, not the new norm. I also think that thousands of fired/displaced former federal workers who were DOGEd and affected by the government shutdown contributed. So, not surprised how the governorship went.
I AM surprised that the dog-kicking (as seen on video) murder-wishing (as seen in texts) AG candidate won.
Mamdani is just the latest far-left/socialist mayor, and that's a trend that ain't changing.
I don't think there is a whole lot of need to search the soul of the GOP to see what went wrong. If Trump, et al., don't make a plan and figure some shit out November 2026 will be a Blue Wave.

Ideological Conflict? One that has been destroying our country and social contract? There's only one side of the political spectrum when something happens has to disassociate and it's the conservative side. Democrats can call for the outside murder of their neighbors and get elected.

Agree. I like the direction our military is heading under Trump, among other things. But Trump keeps talking about "prices are down on food and gas, etc." Nope, gas prices went down here just long enough for him to make that claim. Now gas prices are right back in Biden territory here. Prices at the grocery store are still off the hook. Eggs are not the only thing Americans buy, lol. I think people are worried more about their jobs and the economy and less on social issues now, but either way they want something to change...and as usual, they are given only two options.

Republicans followed the same playbook they've been using for ages. They got power and have sat on their asses. They were elected to instill change. Dems don't do this.
What has Congress done in the past 10 months? They could codify many of the EOs. Have they? Nope.
Anyone remember DOGE? Evidently Republicans don't.
Illegal immigration. Quit dragging this out. Rip the band-aid off and get it done. Some people will scream and yell, but once it's done and the news cycle passes, we can move on.
Similarly, Voter ID, just get it done.
Banning men from women's sports. It's an 80/20 issue. Get it done.
These are low hanging fruit, but the types of things they were elected to address.
While foreign policy is important and I'm glad we have people that understand this, right now domestic issues and the economy are more important. America First, remember that? Evidently Republicans don't.
The President needs to step up and visibly lead Republicans on the domestic front. This silly socialist wave that's taking place cannot be allowed to take root. Republicans need to get their shit squared away.

Correct. It took a lot to mobilize voters for Youngkin, and Trump voters turned out for both him, Earle-Sears, and Miyares. All three victories were pretty narrow. Earles-Sears disassociated from Trump during 2024 and that probably affected her quite a bit. But then again, even though Harris carried VA, 400k more people voted for Trump than voted for Spangberger. I get the idea of not being sold on the candidate, but there's enough going on that state parties need to cut the bullshit and organize.
