Earlier I dismissed the Vichy GOPe’s Va win as “self-evidently meaningless,” and I meant it too. Eric Peters begs to differ, and could be he has a point.
It looks like the standard-bearer of the Woke Authoritarian Left (WAL) will not be anointed as Virginia’s next governor. Of course, this may change as new “ballots” are discovered – but for the moment, a respite.
Not because the other guy (apparently) won. Rather, because it appears that WAL suffered a significant repudiation. Even in Northern Virginia, where the WAL appeared to be in full control – of everything.
And got too publicly cocky about it.
The Clinton’s buck-toothed donkey lost – again, apparently – not because a sufficiency of voters were enthused about Glenn Youngkin, a Republican cut from the same cloth as Mitt Romney. Rather, the Clinton’s donkey lost because he brayed too loudly, too openly about such things as parents of kids in government schools needing to shut up, sit down and let the WAL put boys who dress like girls freely enter the actually girls’ bathrooms and lecture kids of both sexes who happen to be white that they are intrinsically oppressive to “people of color. “
Youngkin is not likely to restore the Bill of Rights in Virginia. But that misses the point of this election.
WAL lost – in a state presumed to be its fief-perpetual. WAL may have lost another state – New Jersey (as this is written early post-election day, the NJ race is too close to call) which is a loss for the WAL even if the WAL’s candidate – the sitting governor – clings to his office.
The tide is turning.
The country resonates with chants of Let’s Go Brandon! It is driving the WAL batty because it is a barometer of that changing tide. The WAL has been using the strategy pioneered by the WAL’s founder – Vladimir Lenin. He knew you win by presuming you are the majority, which you achieve by belittling and demoralizing the actual majority.
He literally seized the name – majority – for his minority cabal of original gangster Woke Authoritarian Leftists, styling them bolsheviks, which in the Russian language means…majority. Which conferred upon his radical minority a false legitimacy. The Bolsheviks – as their party became known – seized control as the representatives of “the people.” In fact, they represented a tiny minority of the populace. Indeed, many of them weren’t even Russians – as the imprisoned Russian dissident Alexander Solzhenitsyn would note in his Gulag Archipelago.
Today’s WAL has been using the same technique – with great effect because its membership controls what is styled the “mainstream” media, which includes social media such as Facebook and Twitter. Which the WAL has used to create a false impression of majority-hood.
By suppressing the majority.

Those who offend the WAL’s sensitivities are disappeared – not by goon squads hauling people off into the night but via the less overt method of cancelling them. Their mouths are electronically muzzled (an interesting parallel there with the Face Diapers also pushed by the WAL) and their persons isolated thereby, causing them to believe they are at odds with the…majority. This stifling effect ripples through the general population, making the majority feel themselves a displaced minority, obsolete and in the way.It worked – superficially – for quite some time.
Most people may not be libertarian – yet! – but they are not Woke. And the more the WAL’s tyranny of the minority is rejected, the more the majority inches toward the libertarian point-of-view. This evolution is inevitable for just that reason. As people reason it out, they begin to see.
The rejection of the vicious authoritarianism of the Left implies a repudiation of authoritarianism, as such – because authoritarianism is always and inherently vicious. Psychologically normal people begin to see that.
Take heart!
And Let’s Go Brandon!
Take heart indeed. There is plenty of cause for concern, yes—plenty and to spare. But we must NEVER yield to despair.
Update! I repeat: No opportunity to rub shitlib noses in their own shit ought ever to be passed up. Ever.
Dear Leftists,
Let’s be clear: Tuesday’s election wasn’t about us, it was about you. It was about putting a stop to your failed American Marxist policies that have been fundamentally transforming and dividing our country by race, class, and ideology. We see it, but, unsurprisingly, you don’t.
Voters—across not only on the dark blue east, but the midwest and Texas too—resoundingly and decisively rejected what you’re selling at all levels of government. Tellingly, though, rather than taking some time for introspection to consider why you lost, we see you’re immediately doubling down on those very same failed policies…
Follows, a Tweet from some doltish twat claiming that the big problem for the Demonrats isn’t with their “messaging,” but that “This country simply loves white supremacy.” At this time, it remains unclear just why the actual fucking fuck this parasitic bint hasn’t long since departed these unspeakably racist shores to shag her Brown Sugah ass on back to De Motherlan’ for good. I do so enjoy this sizzling rejoinder to all that sniveling race-pimpery, not that it will have any effect on those most in need of the schooling.
Hey, @JoyAnnReid. Meet Virginia's new Lt. Governor. Does this look like the 'face of white supremacy' to you?? pic.twitter.com/blbVdCDZHc

That, of course, is the entirely awesome Winsome Sears: former Gyrine, outspoken Gun Gal, and soon to be Va’s new Lt Gov. I consider Sears to be the most salutary result of the whole shebang, not least because of how very many shitlib shibboleths she righteously upends just by simply existing as the person she is.
“I am at a loss for words for the first time in my life,” she told supporters. “I am here because of you. I’m here because you voted for me. I’m here because you put your trust in me. Thank you, thank you.”
“I’m telling you that what you are looking at is the American dream. The American dream. When my father came to this country on August 11, 1963. He came at the height of the civil rights movement,” she said. “He came from Jamaica. I said to him, ‘why did you come?’ He said, ‘because America was where the jobs and the opportunities were.’”
She explained that her father arrived in the U.S. with $1.75 in his pocket, taking any job he could find and putting himself through school so he could enjoy the American Dream.
“He came and got me when I was six years old, and when I stepped onto that PanAm Boing 737 and landed at JFK, I landed in a new world. And so let me tell you this,” she said. “I am not even a first-generation American. When I joined the Marine Corps I was still a Jamaican. But this country had done so much for me I was willing—willing to die for this country.”
“U-S-A! U-S-A!” she chanted, as the crowd enthusiastically joined in.
She’s a-okay with me. Read all about her here; Sears has lots more to say, every word of it pure gold. Anyways, several ‘graphs deeper into the pre-digression post above we arrive at what was almost certainly the biggest single reason Va Demonrats got their empty heads cut last night.
When leftist candidates said over and over that parents shouldn’t have a say in their children’s education and bureaucrats called them “domestic terrorists” while siccing the federal government on them, America’s parents were listening. While leftists locked us down; closed our schools, churches, and places of employment; tried to force us to mask and vaccinate; and taught our kids to hate this country, their own gender, and even us, American voters were listening. On Tuesday, American voters spoke loudly and clearly not about racism, but about woke-ism.
The truth is you lost many seats on Tuesday but more than that, your leftist ideas lost. Your ideas are extreme, divisive, tired, and failed. America is indeed tired of the left’s American Marxism.
It’s not us, it’s you, and may God Bless Red America.
Damned skippy. For what it’s worth I believe Sims, among others, is reading way too much into this than the facts will ultimately bear, for all sorts of reasons I won’t go into for the nonce. But that’s okay; there’s plenty of butthurt to go around in Progtardia today, which is never a bad thing.
Updated update! A small victory that could very well end up being a truly meaningful one.
A Massachusetts teacher who was forced to resign after photos of him at the Capitol on January 6 were shared online has won a seat on the district’s school board.
The former Braintree High School teacher Matthew Lynch, 35, was visited by the FBI during his campaign.
Lynch resigned in February after working at the school for approximately ten years.
In his resignation letter to the school, Lynch wrote about how his military experience has left him very concerned about the direction of our nation.
“My military experience as an Intelligence Analyst has given me unique perspective on what is currently going on in both our country and our town and I fear we are heading on a real collision course,” Lynch continued in the letter. “I feel I need to make my voice heard in the town of Braintree but in doing so will have unintended side effects which will be completely unfair to my students.”
The former teacher explained to the outlet that he believes in Braintree schools and believes that they are “worth fighting for.”
“There is a revolution in education going on right now. More and more kids will be leaving public schools for private, Catholic or homeschooling, which will have a negative effect on Braintree’s schools. I love Braintree Schools and I believe they are worth fighting for, so we have to show parents why Braintree Schools is the place for their children.”
On Tuesday, Lynch won.
Good on ya, Teach. Here’s hoping you can make your presence felt up there in the People’s Republic of Massachussetts, in whatever way you’re able. May the example set by your dauntless will to win serve as inspiration to us all.
Update to the updated update! Okay, I confess I did NOT see this coming.
RICHMOND, VA—Tuesday seemed to be a banner day for Republicans. They won a huge victory in Virginia, and without the involvement of former President Donald Trump. Perhaps the Republicans had turned a new leaf.
But it was all a ruse.
As Youngkin gave his victory speech, he pulled off his mask and revealed that he had, in fact, been Donald Trump all along. “Hello, haters and losers!” Trump yelled. “I win again! Now I’m president of this state! Forty-nine more to go!”
“See?! I told you!” screamed Terry MacAuliffe from the crowd. “I told you that electing Youngkin was basically electing Trump! I told you!”
“Shut up, loser!” Trump responded. “I never came up with a nickname for you. It’s Terrible Terry. That’s your name now.” He looked at the rest of the crowd. “Now you’ll never get rid of me! Never!”
Moderate Republicans who had supported Youngkin in the race were inconsolable. “We thought it was okay to vote Republican since they were moving on from Trump,” sobbed Bryant Patton, a Never Trumper. “I just thought the Lincoln Project and Bill Kristol were weird grifters and/or pedophiles, but I should have listened to them and just voted for Democrats who hate and despise me instead of the Republican.”
Trump, though, was ready to get to work, first trying to find how he could get access to the Virginia governor’s Twitter account.
Reports of Pelousi immediately scheduling US House impeachment hearings for an unprecedented fourth time are almost certainly true.
Updates, forsooth! The Last Sane Democrat sounds off.
McAuliffe’s loss is a victory for all Americans. Why? Because it was a resounding rejection of efforts to divide us by race, the stripping of parental rights, and arrogant, deaf leaders. This benefits us all.

Yes, she’s a Democrat. Yes, she still hews to some shitlib beliefs like gun control, or as far as I know she does. Nonetheless, I still kinda like her.
Yesterday’s results were hopeful, in the sense that anything that upsets the left so much is certainly a good thing. And it is a nice boost to morale, at least until the inevitable caving in and sucking up to the left by Youngkin begins.
I do have to disagree a bit with this part:
For now. The left dreams of disappearing people the hard way — their thought leaders like Ayers openly talk of eliminating us normals by the tens of millions, and most leftists nod along and agree that it is necessary even if they personally don’t want to get their hands dirty or think too closely about the details. But there are plenty on the left who fantasize about it, and are actively planning to make it happen. They just don’t have the power needed quite yet to put all the pieces in place.
“They just don’t have the power needed quite yet to put all the pieces in place.”
Something they call a “vaccine” might just be the ticket.
While I don’t hold out great hope for the next Gov of Virginia, despite his links to the deep staters, we really have no idea how he will perform. He certainly has a pit bull performer backing him up, and I predict she will be the next Gov of Virginia.
Celebrate the win until it’s clear it wasn’t. Rub their noses in it as their insanity becomes clearer to the marginals.
Stop acting defeated all the damn time.
Agree on this, Barry. Too many on the rightward-leaning side of things are already beaten in their own minds. Even after a victory there is an immediate chorus of “but…but…but” and “don’t get cocky” and so forth. Quick, everyone, tamp down that enthusiasm! Get gloomy again! Heaven forbid that people celebrate a bit and have some fun. Heaven forbid people get a little excited and start building some momentum.
I am as susceptible to this as anyone. Decades of defeats and disappointments and ever-ratcheting leftward movement make it difficult to be optimistic. But perpetual gloom and doom does not attract new people to a movement or keep people fighting, and the struggle is important. I try to remind myself to take a few minutes and enjoy the small victories along the way. Yes, Youngkin is probably going to be a Mitt Romney clone (at best). Yes, it should never (in a sane world) have even been close. But the recycled Clinton bag man would be much, much worse. Enjoy it for what it is.
Plus, a whole bunch of lefties just got a sharp stick jammed in their eye, and are busy blaming one another for it. That’s worth something, too. 🙂
You take your wins where you can get them, whatever they may be. A minor win is still a win.
Poking the Left in the eye is always worthwhile.
Yet another, more optimistic take from Francis:
