I think perhaps we might have found the line between how much people are willing to take governments trampling on their individual rights/freedoms and when enough is enough...
Virginia is the perfect example of a situation where "beltway" politicians in the northern part of the state close to Washington DC / Fairfax County really have no idea about the rest of the people in the entirety of Virginia - from Richmond, to the Blue Ridge Mountain area (Lynchburg, Roanoke, Blacksburg) over to the Virginia Beach, Norfolk, Hampton parts of the state - I'm not a native of Virginia or know the state that well, but have driven through it enough to know that the Democrat blue of Fairfax County is not exactly representative of the rest of Virginia....

The Gov really thinks he can make the populace forget the black face thing with this bullshit. I truly hope the voters in Virginia aren't this stupid.

Unfortunately, the # of Democratic voters in the northern part of Virginia (Fairfax County near Washington DC) really do outnumber the rest of the voters, so Virginia is now a blue state through and through and will be that way for the forseeable future. What's occurring in Virginia is similar to what's occurring in New York State, which is typically mostly blue but always had a Republican majority in the State Senate Assembly...until recently when Democrats took over the entire NY State Assembly and Democrats control the entirety of the State government, similar to Virginia. And what they've passed - along w/ NY Governor Cuomo - has been one progressive bill after another, that has been unpopular with upstate NY people...but upstate NY people don't count as long as NYC progressive politics get their way.

Pretty cool they even picked up after themselves If this was a different scenario, say instead of gun confiscation. It was the state planning to take away obama phones and ebt cards. We would be looking at broken windows, burnt cars and garbage filled streets.

This is why the democrats argue for ending the electoral college. The states, mostly on the coasts, with the higher population numbers will simply outnumber the fly over country. They (liberals) will then dictate to the rest of the country as they see fit.

Great point he used emergency to disallow protesters carry guns. So they protested with guns around the fence not in the fence.
Was the Gov trying to create a false flag by declaring an emergency when none was needed?
They need to recall him and send him packing

Remember though, we were paranoid nuts for claiming this is the goal the left had.

They’re making sure a republican is never elected in Virginia again. This is what happens when democrats regain power, redistricting, change election rules, restore voting rights of felons even while they’re incarcerated. The democrat legislature in Virginia has introduced a national popular vote bill as well. wtop.com/virginia/2020/01/virginia-voting-changes-possible-in-2020/www1.cbn.com/cbnnews/politics/2020/january/va-bill-is-latest-effort-by-democrats-to-kill-electoral-college-taking-away-voice-of-rural-americans

Imagine instead of Northam that was a Pub Gov who wore kkk outfits and blackface. Then imagine instead of gun rights protesters you had Antifa and BLM protesters.
How peaceful does anyone think it would be?
