“Virginia is the first state of the old confederacy to go full (liberal)Democrat.”

Actually, confederacy was democrat.Virginia has returned to its roots, which isn’t such a good thing.

“Um, please don’t tell me anyone is surprised by this...”

I lived in Virginia in 1980. It was a nice place but very democrap. I am surprised it took this long to go blue.

Virginia is not Democrat, Virginia is Progressive.

Virginia like all the North East wants to be Europe.

American progressives are Euro wannabes

“Virginia is not Democrat, Virginia is Progressive.”

There is no difference. The democrap party are the liberals. There is nothing progressive about regressive ideas like liberalism.

Socialism on the march.

I fear this will be the country in 20 years. All trends point to it.

“Asian Americans it is more like 90-10.”

They are all for liberalism until it comes for them, such as with Harvard admissions.

....

Yep! Virginia is too close to the swamp to not be infected with the Liberal sickness, and many of the DC Swamp Creatures reside in Virginia!

A real shame!

And they still say that Americans are SMART! HA! DUMBASSES!

The sad fact is that the dumbasses have us outnumbered. We generally skate past disasters because most of the time they are too lazy to get off the couch and vote.

One of the reasons the Dems keep Trump Derangement cranked up to 11 is to keep 'em motivated.

After some difficulty,I think I have found the before and after maps for the recent redistricting in Virginia.

Here is the Republican controlled legislature’s Congressional map as drawn after the 2010 census. I’m not sure that “contiguous and compact territory” as stated in the state Constitution applies to 7 and 5. Especially 5, which while not looking like a salamander (Gerrimander), 5 does look like Godzilla with a thin neck and head.

I had some trouble finding the most recent court ordered redistricting map. I think that at the link, the old one is second line far right, and the new one is 2nd row center.
