Good. I live in Connecticut. It used to be a decent place to live but now I feel like a perpetual blood donor paying these taxes. We’re moving to VA in three years but somebody has to explain how Terry McAuliffe got elected there. It’s not how I vote.

he was elected the same way democrats get elected anywhere. They suppress the opposition vote using media lapdogs they feed with false narratives and they scare each minority group with stories of fewer benefits and offer more free stuff.
In VA, all the dems had to do is use the media to downplay the election and pump up the voting blocks in the high population areas like NoVa, Richmond and Tidewater because the rest of the state doesn’t matter from an electoral standpoint. Too many crybaby republicans stayed home because of some technicality in the nomination process and a total lack of financial support from the national GOP hurt. Even after that, they almost pulled it off. VA is a microcosm of the country IMO, we have an unpopular leader acting in defiance of the will of the people and a legislative branch (practically split)with not enough power or leadership to kick him out. The lower chamber is dominated by the republicans and the upper chamber is split and the judiciary is littered with leftists who forward the agenda whenever possible. With the exception of maybe a governorship, I don’t see it changing much.
We now have a financial situation that will only grow worse and our suburbs and schools are being seeded with illegals that Obama is looking to legalize.

Virginia has been flooded with Fed workers- who, naturally, love government dollars.

the Federal employee bubble will burst here soon though.
