Democrats often claim they want to win over rural voters. Yet when it comes to hiding their scorn for them, they’re hopelessly incontinent.
When most Democrats today use the phrase “our democracy,” they mean not a democracy for everyone but one exclusively for them. And Virginia’s ballot question on redistricting is the latest proof.
The ballot question is not merely a political power play. First and foremost, it’s an act of contempt for voters and the voting process itself. It’s naked disdain for the democracy they’re always pretending to care about.
Second, it serves as a censorship tool because it’s meant to deliberately erase the voices of half of Virginians, particularly those living in rural areas who will lose any chance at being represented in Congress. Rather than the 6-5 edge they have now, a margin that more closely reflects the popular voting patterns in the state, the Democrats in Richmond are aiming for a 10-1 advantage. Virginia Republicans might as well live in San Francisco or Mayor Mamdani’s New York.
We can all predict what will happen next. Just like the People’s Republic of Maryland, Democrats will later try to oust that very last Republican member of Congress so Virginia becomes a one-party state. As with all totalitarians, that’s the game plan. And like all totalitarians, they couch their goals in Orwellian verbiage like “fairness.” Just read this joke of a ballot question for yourself:
Question: Should the Constitution of Virginia be amended to allow the General Assembly to temporarily adopt new congressional districts to restore fairness in the upcoming elections, while ensuring Virginia’s standard redistricting process resumes for all future redistricting after the 2030 census?
Fairness? Give us a break. Temporary? Yeah, sure. No doubt Virginia Gov. Abigail Spanberger also has a bridge to sell over the Poop-tomac River to go along with the “temporary” status of this gerrymandering scheme. Compare the two maps below. First is a fairly reasonable drawing of districts in 2022 that represent the voters in those regions: --->READ MORE HERE

Out-of-state money, anemic GOP candidate recruitment, apathy toward local elections, and emotion-laden propaganda led Virginia to this point.
Virginia Democrats are swooning over the prospect of wiping out congressional representation for the overwhelming majority of Republicans in the state if voters pass their April 21 gerrymandering referendum. As I wrote here at The Federalist, that ballot question drips with contempt for rural voters as well as the “democracy” Democrats pretend to care about.
How did things change so fast? What’s behind Democrats’ cockiness to behave with impunity like Soviet apparatchiks? Normal Americans are still scratching their heads over the outcome of Virginia’s 2025 election that handed over the governorship and a massive statehouse majority to the Democrats. They especially wonder how Jay Jones easily won his election for state attorney general despite openly fantasizing about the murder of his Republican colleague and two young children. Not long ago, such creepiness would have totally collapsed any American candidate’s campaign.
We can attribute a lot of this current insanity to the usual suspects: a coarsening of the culture, the dumbing down of the electorate, the lackluster campaign of the Republican gubernatorial candidate, and probably a certain degree of election rigging enabled by some 45 days of early voting, mail-in voting, and ballot harvesting.
But let’s look more deeply at a few other factors that have led Virginia to this point. They include out-of-state money, anemic GOP candidate recruitment, apathy toward local elections, and emotion-laden propaganda.
Money and Campaigning from out of State
Virginia is just one of many states targeted with piles of out-of-state dark money, such as George Soros’ funds, to create one-party states. That’s pretty obvious, especially when we see Virginia voters receiving postcards pushing for a “Yes” vote on a redistricting referendum that are postmarked from places like Oakland and Santa Ana, California.
The Federalist’s Breccan Thies has covered various aspects of out-of-state meddling and dark-money propaganda used to push this referendum. One example is a faux newspaper called The Virginia Independent that has left-wing influence written all over it. Another is former President Barack Obama’s inability to retire from his constant political badgering.
Anemic GOP Candidate Recruitment
Democrats did not allow a single one of the 100 seats in the Virginia House of Delegates to go unchallenged in the 2025 election, not even in deep-red districts. In contrast, Virginia Republicans allowed 16 of the 100 House seats to go unchallenged, effectively handing over those seats to the Democrats who could then concentrate their money and energy on tighter races.
The result? The Democrats gained 13 seats, leading to a 64-36 Democrat majority in the House of Delegates. They had previously held a slim 51-49 majority. GOP leadership could have worked a little bit toward minimizing losses if they had simply made sure every single district at least had a “placeholder” challenging the Democrats, no matter how blue the district. Why didn’t they? It was probably a matter of sloth or betrayal. You decide.
