Virginia is a pretty moderate, laid back state. But having said that, I also have to note that Virginia is actually two states fused together who hate each other. You have the Blue Virginia of the Urban Corridor and you have the Red Virginia of everything else.
So, while ideally Gov. Glenn Youngkin would apologize for making a joke about Paul and Nancy Pelosi after Mr. Pelosi was attacked with a hammer as part of an assassination attempt on Speaker Pelosi, lulz, he’s never going to do so.
The reason is — the vast majority of the people who put Youngkin in office don’t want him to, would see it as a sign of weakness if he did. We live in an era of no shame. And Youngkin is — at the moment at least — believes he might be elected POTUS in 2024, when, of course, he’s more likely to be a dark horse candidate for Trump’s veep.
This is yet another sign that the United States is circling the drain as it heads towards autocracy, civil war or military junta at some point in late 2024, early 2025. What the endgame is, I have no idea.
But I do know that the situation we’re in at the moment is untenable long-term. Something’s gotta give. And I think if the absolute worst happens — civil war — Virginia is going to be a state that implodes, with coup and counter coups happening as the two sides vie for control of a strategically important state next to the national capitol.
