Democrats are going ham in Virginia.
In case you missed it: Democrat Abigail Spanberger was sworn in as governor, replacing Gov. Glenn Youngkin. They also took a decisive majority in the statehouse.
The newly empowered Virginia Democrats wasted no time organizing an absolute orgy of legislative stupidity. Why this should matter to you is that it’s a blueprint for national rule should any of this spill over.
Let’s start with law enforcement, or lack thereof in vapid left-wing dreamland.
Spanberger immediately rescinded Youngkin’s executive order requiring law enforcement to aid federal officials in deportations. On top of that, statehouse Dems introduced a litany of bills that would make illegal immigration markedly worse. They want to ban civil arrests for immigration offenses at courthouses (HB650). They want to guarantee free education to illegals (HB912). Virginia Democrat Jessica Anderson, who filmed herself peeing in public and then posted it to TikTok, introduced HB533, which would use taxpayer funds to teach English to incarcerated criminal illegals.
I’m just getting started, Dear Reader. Virginia Democrats have also targeted law enforcement officials themselves. HB1314 effectively ends qualified immunity for police and federal officials, allowing for civil suits across the board. That’s not all: If you’re wearing a mask as a cop, a criminal can claim his rights were violated and sue you after the fact. If he gets a win, the officials would be personally liable for things like legal costs … incurred by a criminal!
On the other hand, criminals under Democrat rule in Virginia will see quite a reversal in treatment. HB244 would “reclassify” certain kinds of robbery as non-violent, even if said robberies include intimidation. The bill would create legal ambiguity about what constitutes violence, effectively ending Virginia’s “three-strikes to life” policy, which required enhanced sentences for repeat offenders.
HB863 removes mandatory minimums for things like repeat violations of protective orders and certain assault enhancements. So your crazy ex-boyfriend can violate a restraining order, rob you and your new boyfriend while wielding a knife, and all he’ll get is a ‘bad dog!’ from the state.
Their approach even applies to schools. If you want to expel an unruly, even violent student, under HB298, you’d have to demonstrate that you first applied an “evidence-based restorative disciplinary practice.” I wonder which Democrat-run NGOs will be cashing in on restorative discipline, eh?
The Pro-Crime Party has really held nothing back in the first week or so of the new legislative session.
And just in case you were thinking: Well, none of this will be popular and they’ll just lose the next election … no they won’t!
A raft of voting measures are also in the pipeline. They want to prevent hand counting of ballots in close races (HB968), they want to expand the timeline for absentee ballots and “ballot curing” well past Election Day (HB640), and they want to outright ban voter registration challenges (HB640). Hmmm, I wonder why.
The coup de grâce on voting is truly next-level stupid, however, as Democrats envision a world in which certain kinds of voters can participate in elections “electronically through the internet” (HB493).
I shit you not, Dear Reader, that’s literally in the title of the bill.
What could go wrong?!
They’ve in the meantime moved to “enshrine” a number of inverted “rights” to the Virginia Constitution, regarding Alphabet People (transgenders, ahem) and abortion.
Kill your kids or trans them into oblivion, but please make sure to do it before the illegal armed robber with multiple assaults breaks into your home and kills you all. And if responding police have a defective bodycam as they’re arresting the killer, he can sue them, and win!
Sadly there’s not a damned thing the GOP can do about it if Virginia Dems get what they want in redistricting. They’ll never manage to hold the statehouse again if that comes to pass.
The last thing I’ll mention is HB459, which would allow someone to anonymously report you for a “hate crime” in Virginia. Anyone with even slight endowment in the frontal lobe department knows what HB459 would mean, if passed.
Guilt or innocence is irrelevant when it comes to thoughtcrimes. It’s the accusation and the following process that is the punishment, and the punishment, I can assure you, will be costly.
So don’t you dare say a damned thing about any of this, Dear Reader. Don’t protest “trans rights” or “immigrant rights” or “voter rights” or any other Orwellian euphemism they deploy to revise reality in front of your very eyes … because if you do, they’ll anonymously destroy your livelihood.
It’s a sad time for Virginia, home state of George Washington, but it could be worse. It could be a blueprint for national rule if the GOP doesn’t wake up and start fighting back.
