The Political Overlords ™ in Virginia are taking a different plan. Their plan here is to KEEP their cushy government jobs (but for Leftists ONLY), and steal the votes and voices of half their "Democratic" electorate to maintain their gravy train.
The plan is to use the "democratic process" to silence half of their electorate altogether. You know, HALF of the people making up their alleged "democracy". The intent is to illegally force a vote (a "referendum") here to make Republican votes ineffective or utterly silent, so that only their pet Progressives get elected to congress.
They are doing that by forcing a vote to allow them to illegally gerrymander voting districts to give Democrats an unjust majority in ALL of the districts except one - and hey are leaving that one only because they could not find enough Democrats surrounding it to tip the scales within it.
This despite the fact that two years ago, Virginians voted to eliminate political gerrymandering here, and make politically slanted redistricting illegal. Now, just two short years later, those same folks are trying to break the law they championed in order to stack the deck massively in their own favor.
In Virginia, currently Democrats (through a massive foreign immigration into the northern part of the sate) have a slim majority - 52% vs. 48% for the Republicans... but, in a "democracy", that is enough. 52% of the population can entirely eliminate the rights of the other 48% through a mere vote - they can vote YOUR rights entirely away
That's the problem with "democracy" - rights mean nothing if they can stack the bullshit high enough to just vote YOUR rights away.
Which is why the founders, in their wisdom, gave us a republic instead of a Democracy... but now that is being entirely ignored in favor of a massive communist takeover and the elimination of individual rights.
So, yeah, I'm good with burning "democracy" entirely to the ground. It's only purpose is to lay the chains of slavery on half of an entire population by the other "privileged" half.
