This video is worth the watch. Once you see it, you can’t unsee it.
This is what single issue voters finally find out. Your vote should be about policy, not the person. Identity politics only goes so far before it all unravels.

Democrats do not have a monopoly on tribal loyalty over policy. Republicans talk a good talk about economic freedom and gun owner rights, but don’t really do much about it, they opposed gay marriage and grudgingly tolerate it now. And they are downright hostile to social freedoms such as freedom from religion, recreational drug use, social nudity, and sex work.
But freedom loving people cannot fight on all fronts at the same time. If we have the backing of Republicans and a chance to fix the wrongs of Democrat policies, then help them out. And when there is a chance to undo wrongheaded Republican policies, take advantage of that momentum too.
Wake up and align yourself against government overreach. The policy is important. The party and the people are not.

A person has to be really slow, or seriously not paying attention, to not notice until now the blatant lying, flip-flopping, stance-changing, say-what-sounds-good-at-the-moment, amoral, unprincipled nature of politicians, and not just modern ones. The only thing surprising about it at this point is that there are people who are still surprised by it.
And this is one of the problems we’ve had in Virginia over the past 30+ years I’ve lived here:
A district has a weak republican candidate for state legislature and a “moderate” democrat candidate that makes all the right mouth noises, so they vote for the policy rather than the person or the party.
Which gives the dems another seat in the chamber. And another. And another. Until they scrape up a majority and then the leaders of the dem party control the agenda. Guess what they do with that?
Doesn’t matter that YOUR democrat representative says all the right things about policy, it matters that the party they belong to won’t allow conservative policies to see the light of day…they never make it out of committee…and ensure that every liberal wet dream they can come up with makes it to the governor’s desk.
Yes…the republican party doesn’t fight hard enough for the things we want. When they’re in power, we make slow, plodding “baby steps” progress if at all; but when the dems take over, it doesn’t matter how great on policy YOUR dem representative is, the raging liberals are the ones in charge and you end up with Virginia over the past few months.
And dems are MUCH better than republicans at keeping their renegades in line. your “moderate” democrat representative will be voting for those hard left policies right along with all the other Dems…or else.
