So What?

The Virginia elections were held this past Tuesday and the results were what was expected. A ridiculous system of gerrymandering, the usual Republican mealy-mouth ‘anything but win’ attitude coupled with a nearly universal franchise meant the kinda-left lost seats to the communist-left. In the land of the mathematically and morally challenged, the communist-left took a loss in the popular vote and three percent majority in the statehouse to mean a mandate. In all seriousness, the most meaningful development for the state of Virginia in the last 24 hours was the local talk radio hosts unveiling the nickname “Senõr Blackface” for Ralph Northam (pronounced Nhhhhaaaaaawthaaaam).

One of the most insufferable side effects of this ‘vote harder’ fad is the impression that somehow one is obligated to listen to the oppressors. To get mildly academic for a minute, the act of voting does not imply the rule of recognition for the local, state and federal officials. It certainly does not require it. People can talk and pass laws until they are blue in the face and demand my respect and obedience, but to what end? The political will to do me harm must be there as well as the mechanism, and the entire premise hangs on my unwillingness to accept the manifest consequences of that political will. The reason nine robed geriatrics have any power to decide anything is people are afraid of the masked men from three-letter-agencies coming to their door. That power ceases to exist the moment you start accepting that you’re already a dead man walking.

Today I wasn’t hated any more than I was yesterday for my skin color, sex or religion. My political beliefs didn’t get any less mainstream. My weapons are still zeroed. The realpolitik of most people’s existence hasn’t changed and if it has because a bunch of people who don’t live near you get a say in your life…you need to change your realpolitik, friendo. Maybe there’s gun control and they ban certain pieces of metal. Perhaps there’s more taxes, or $5,000/hr minimum wage clown world economics. The entire premise of preparedness and a heightened political and social awareness is to deal with these things. I can minimize the risk, legal and otherwise, but at a certain point life is less about safety and more about principles. No one here should have any illusions about whether or not being a vocal political dissident is safer than an obedient serf. Act accordingly.

So in response to the elections in my state, I say…so what? I hope the citizens (I use that term loosely) of Virginia get precisely what they voted for. Let’s turn this commonwealth into the feces-infested streets of California and the third-world status of Chicago. The carpetbaggers from NOVA living paycheck-to-paycheck in their Barbie world are ill-equipped to deal with anything upsetting the delicate balance of barely keeping their financial head above water enough to live in the ‘right’ neighborhood. I’m entirely willing to go farther and harder down that road than they ever want to. Ban the guns, ban civilization…ban me. The clarity will be welcome. Many of us have been paying attention for the better part of a decade. Why should I fret or worry about the inevitable results we all knew were coming. The left wants me and everyone like me dead. Fretting won’t solve the issue and voting harder certainly won’t. We have all been gifted with years to sort our lives out, make friends, get harder and more dangerous, and arm ourselves to the teeth. We are in the middle of the golden age of firearms and the average civilian has never had access to this level of quality training and firearms in history. It’s a good day to be alive, so use it wisely. The communists and anarchists are going to do what they must do, spread chaos, slavery and destruction. We are going to do what we must do. I can square what I do with my God, my wife and my people, so to the simpering cowards in Richmond and D.C. I say…so what?

    ” I can minimize the risk, legal and otherwise, but at a certain point life is less about safety and more about principles.”
    I’m not sure this is true. If it were people would be acting by now. To date people have responded only by burying their guns and then congratulating themselves on how clever they are. No one has raised a fist in opposition to this oppression. I see no indication that this pattern is going to be broken. You train to habitualized action so that you can do it more smoothly and efficiently. Conservatives have habitualized, they have trained in postponing the taking of any action. Doing nothing is the default conservative response. It is ingrained.

    Amen brother! We are not any less despised today than we were last week, so everyone keep up their training and preparedness and prayer.

    Great article. I too am in VA. Look how poignant our flag is (“Thus Always To Tyrants”), but we’ve let the passing of time blunt our thoughts and awareness about tyranny. I also believe that patriots are waiting to use force as a LAST RESORT, which is a principle of the just war concept. As almost all writers on this website have reiterated What Are You Doing With The Extra Time? What have you done today?

    So, now that the mask is off in the Old Dominion, who will bell the cat? Northam and the Infanticide Party are firmly entrenched, right down to the local dog catcher. And, the five richest counties in the FSSA are situated in the Old Dominion, surrounding the Swamp. These FEDGOV tax termites have a vested interest in keeping their boots on our necks. I agree with Mr. Shapiro. people are congratulating themselves for burying their firearms. Of course, they could always move to Rawles Land, and congratulate themselves further.
    NO ONE will do ANYTHING as long as there is food on the Wal Mart shelves, gasoline at the pumps, working iPhones, and other electronic pacifiers. The small-dose strategy of these Godless Alinskyite Communists is working perfectly. The Deplorables have been sold down the river by the Mango Emperor and it would appear Princess Gray Beaver will occupy the Crime Family Time Share at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave come 11/2020. Plan accordingly. No one is coming to save you.

    Amen brother….preach it!

    You stoked the fire. My thoughts and feels exactly. The difference between us and the joke boomer (type and real) conservatives is that my mindset it’s already in that dark day. When it hits, “hello darkness my old friend”. Most will be shocked while I’m loading mags, smoking cigars from my stash and drinking my last cold beer because we went full Venezuela. Embrace the suck, people. As the Ulfhednar put it…”No mercy, only violence.”

    Ann Coulter points out a different source: http://www.anncoulter.com/columns/2017-11-15.html

    The important Quote:

    “True, Virginia is home to 322,198 people who are either current or retired federal employees. On the other hand, there are more than 800,000 Virginians who are foreign-born — and that’s not including the children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren of the foreign-born who arrived in the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s.”

    This was from 2017.

      It’s democracy. Everyone gets a say and we all have to be ok with that. Shut up and be glad, or you’re a horrible racist! Like I said, I hope those retirees get precisely what they voted for. Sucks to be too old to outrun the machetes and other fruits of diversity.

    This article has left me with a real sense of loss and sadness, I wish all here could have known the Virginia I was born into over 70 years ago. My GG Grandfather from the same town was a junior officer in the 17th Va. Inf. wounded, captured and sent to a yankee prison camp in ’63. As kids we’d play in the remnants of the log dugout pits @ Bull Run. As corny as it may sound to people today we were taught that a man’s honor was his most sacred attribute and once lost could never be regained. Now it’s all gone. The world is a poorer place now; poorer for its loss.

  10. David Stone November 9, 2019 at 20:31

    Speaking to Old Shoe, my GGgranddaddy was enlisted in the 63rd Ga Vol Inf and was captured a t the battle of Kennesaw mountain, sent to Camp Douglas, and summarily murdered. I feel for ya’ll up there but try being born and raised in North Florida. We have been replaced and within the next election cycle or two we will be right there with Virginia.

    I lived in Virginia for ten years as a kid and attended school there from the 3rd grade through high school graduation. I was taught a thick and nourishing diet of Confederate lore and constitutional freedom. They really believed Sic Semper Tyrannis. Even the carpet bagger counties believed and taught it. I used to drive by the place where JS Mosby captured the Yankee general and smacked him on the ass with his sword as he slept to wake the Yankee up. Bobby Lee, Stonewall Jackson, J.E.B. Stuart, John Singleton Mosby all weep. It is time to invoke the spirit again of the 1st Virginia Partisan Rangers.

    The Zimbabwe/Cuba/Venezuela enrichment improvementation is going nationwide. There won’t be any escaping The Great Leap Forward.
    Eventually you’ll have to fight where you stand but nothing worthwhile is free. Use the time that Mr. Trump is buying us wisely.

    Virginia is a Microcosm of the U.S. as a whole- the Cities are reliably communist-infested, the Exurban Areas (majority of the State) are the kind of Gun-Owning, non-complying, No-respect-for-.Gov Deplorables that the libtards Fear. Outside of the perimeter of the Swamp, the ability of the state or feral ‘government’ to Enforce the coming ‘Gun Ban’ they desperately want is going to be Tenuous at best. Like Connecticut, New York, and Maryland, ‘bans’ and ‘registration’ will be Universally Ignored, and any attempts at Confiscation, beyond a few individuals made ‘Examples Of’ would make Feral Hog Season go 24/7 (wait, wut? We can shoot Feral Hogs without a ‘license’?)
    I think the democrats having a ‘majority’ of the State Legislature is being over-hyped, as a “democrat” in one of the Western Counties Owns a few Guns, and is Surrounded by people who Do. Those Votes are Not assured to toe the (communist) Party Line, nor are the Sheriffs in most of the State going to be Eager to start kicking in doors where their Families Live.

    The rural counties and their conservative populations in Virginia are starting to brace against the specter of the Left’s wetdream of new anti-gun legislation starting in 2020. Several local counties in the central and western end of the state are planning on becoming 2nd Amendment Sanctuary Counties, refusing to enforce any new laws deemed unconstitutional. CAMPBELL County (south of Lynchburg) has already taken this step, with the County Commission publicly declaring this policy.

  16. […] if you can’t win through stuffing the ballot box, as we saw in Virginia, the liberals can simply open the door to a flood of dubious lawsuits the same way they went after […]

  17. […] come, and they are on your front door. Maybe not physically, yet, but that’s coming. If the lessons from Virginia are a bellwether for the near future, the communist machine at work will not allow American voices […]
