All right, so less than a week ago, a Democrat government took power in Virginia, and they are ushering in nothing less than a Marxist hellscape.

I mean, I feel like we are watching a slew of cartoon villains with every single bill and

amendment they are proposing.

And in looking at all of this, you know, you could argue, especially if you're somebody who hates

Trump, that, you know, he did the exact same thing.

He came into office a year ago this week and immediately made all of these hundreds of sweeping executive orders. So why are we complaining?

But there's a big difference. There is actually a huge difference because what is happening in Virginia is policy making. It is actively changing laws that will directly impact citizens. Whereas executive orders, when done by the president, are policy directives. They signal priorities and they guide agencies, but without Congress codifying any of these executive orders, they're temporary.

And the next administration just can undo them or make their own.

And that's why the election Virginia mattered so much.

It's why New Jersey mattered so much.

It's why New York City mattered so much.

All of this is further proof that local elections have consequences. And while so many Republicans are sitting on their hands and squabbling, Democrats around the country are running full steam ahead and you will not believe the insane bills they are trying to pass. I could very well just like sit here and read off all of the bills to you, direct you to a couple of tweets, talk about the amendments that they're proposing in Virginia, and we will do some of that. But I do want to give you a little bit of context here because I do think that that is important. So remember, in November, we had huge elections and a lot of people were focused on Mamdani and New York City, but Virginia was also majorly in play. And Republicans were very worried that with Glenn Yonkin leaving office, they were going to lose their hold over the state.

And they should have been worried because there was a major blue wave. The Virginia House of delegates retained their Democrat majority. They even picked up more seats.

They now narrowly have their state Senate. The new lieutenant governor is a Democrat Jay Jones, who literally fantasized about Republican children dying, was elected Attorney General, which is just great to hear, obviously.

The Democrat Abigail Spanberger was elected Virginia's first female governor.

And you might not know that name, but I am certain that you know this image from way back

in COVID days.
