I understand what your saying, and by all means conservatives, libertarians and republicans need to vote now more than ever, but did you ever think that many if not most that are crying were part of that 30%? Don't get complacent!I'm mad as hell--at Republicans and conservatives in America.
The message here is clear: VOTE or be prepared for the socialist democrats to take over your life. I feel bad about what's happening in Virginia--but not for Virginians. I feel bad that we may lose one more state to totalitarian socialist dictators. As to the Virginians, why didn't all the gun owners vote in every election? They didn't and now they're crying about the result. If they had VOTED, they wouldn't have to protest in the streets about what the people they allowed to be elected are doing!
124 million gun owners in the U.S. could dictate the outcome of most elections. A 30% turnout, though, just hands over your city, school district, county, state, and nation to the left. We have an Hispanic woman who has never before had a job of any kind running Harris County. Think about that. The second most populous county in the U.S. is being run by someone whose whole life has been spent in various schools and universities paid for entirely by you and me. ZERO working life experience. She's the local equivalent to AOC, or actually worse, since AOC at least worked as a bartender.
How many of you reading this didn't vote in the last election? Where I live there were no offices up for vote, but there was a whole list of propositions, and a couple them were pretty bad for taxpayers. I voted no, but they won anyway--and the total vote (yes and no combined) was a smaller number than registered Republicans here. Assuming Republicans can recognize a bad deal when they see it, they could have made the final vote NO. But they didn't bother to vote. Just like in Virginia. So we have a couple of new bad laws in place. If you don't vote, you don't get to complain.
If we sit back and allow states like Virginia to turn away from the Constitution and become totalitarian, it won't be long before it comes here.
