Tucker Carlson calls him Governor Klansrobe Blackface.

As many others have pointed out, the Corona Virus lockdown experiment has been a sort of “last straw” in terms of autocratic, extra-constitutional rule by elite authorities who haven’t a clue about what kind of misery their edicts inflict on ordinary people who are just trying to make a living and get on with their lives. As such, and for all of its hardship, this episode may — as in the case of the voters of Staunton — be a strong indication that citizens can still connect the dots, identify the causes of their distress, and make logical choices at their polling places.

What is particularly interesting / frightening to me is the extent to which the “progressive” elites and their media camp followers now seem to openly reject even the *idea* of representative democracy, and they make no pretense that the kind of “mistake” that just happened in Virginia (or in the presidential election of 2016) must not be allowed to happen in the future. “We are your keepers, and we know what is best for you.” Representative government, they say, is not “good” for us because it reflects all of our implicit biases, and, moreover, we don’t know enough to make rational choices for ourselves. Democracy is “dangerous” because people make the “wrong” choices. We’ll fix that.

At its core, we are — now more and more visibly — being offered the stark choice between naked authoritarianism and a constitutional republic (i.e., the difference between a nation of powerless sheeple and responsible citizens) as envisioned by its Founders, and it looks like it’s going to be a bare knuckle brawl in terms of which of these concepts is going to prevail.

Scaling this up to the state and national level, let’s hope that enough citizens / voters can exercise the same kind of discernment as the voters of Staunton. Again, it’s a great lesson in practical civics, and we should all learn something from this.

“Trump, especially during this Corona virus contagion event time, continues to be the political catalyst, the focal point that forces these “Progressives”, these “Democrat Socialists”, these un and anti American junior Fascists to reveal themselves to those that they lord over, the people. Referring to Democrat lead states and their governors and mayors and their abuses of power. And in doing so in the era of Trump they are better identified to be removed and replaced in the coming elections. Very simple.”

So the apparent chaos and confusion and fear being pumped by the opposing politicos and their media allies, in the era of Trump, has its purpose in restoring America closer to its Founding and intent.

That is what I see anyway.
