The majority of voters in the 2024 election voted for Trump AND data shows he still would have won with greater turnout. |

Ironically I think we’re up to 3 people who missed the point of my message but are so confident and smug in their misunderstanding. |

Something is wrong in the DC area if it is so heavily slanted in one direction, especially in Arlington. There needs to be a shift in the population to properly represent the country, particularly since the DC metro area is home to the federal government. Something is way off if it leans so strongly in one direction when the federal government is meant to represent all Americans. Since DC is a town whose workforce changes with each administration, its political character should reflect the administration that has been elected.

| I'm surprised some oligarch hasnt overpaid for it to get some kickback, similar to Trump's purchase that Epstein was bitter about. |
Nothing needs to change. We’re here because we love it here and we love our neighbors. We don’t want you here if you’re going to come at us and try to change the way things are. Try out Ashburn. Bye. |
^ This is the same type of person who will move to say Naples, FL or Rehoboth Beach when it’s time to retire and get involved to turn the area blue. Never fails. |
But what kickback could you count on Miller to deliver? Is he just a Trump sycophant, or does he actually have the power to deliver something that an oligarch wants? The oligarch would probably just do better by contributing to the ballroom. |
I don't get why you suck at math. The majority of voters did NOT vote for Trump. He received <50% of the vote. |
You contradict yourself - do you want the DC area to reflect the country or to reflect the current administration? Arlington is not just federal workers. It's probably mostly not feds given low gov't salaries and high housing costs. Lots of lawyers and tech people though. Most feds live farther out. It's a county that is highly educated which inherently leans left. |
I wouldn’t step foot in Florida much less move there. |
Democrats need to move to Florida and other red states if they want to help make these states blue. Republicans don’t have the same hang ups about moving to blue states. |
No one is stopping republicans from buying in Arlington. But having grown up in a red state I can tell you most the conservatives I know choose a larger house and plot of land over dense neighborhoods, which is why there is a larger conservative base in places like Loudoun County. You are welcome to campaign for republicans to choose smaller lots, density, and walkable neighborhoods. But it’s not the fault of democrats if they choose exurban living. |
I’ve said this before - in 2025 Trump still got about 1/5 voters in Arlington, which feels like - a lot - for this area. And Youngkin did even better in 2021. It’s 100% a deep blue area, but there’s enough Reps here to swing a statewide or presidential election if the right moderate candidate is running on the Republican ticket. Obviously Winsome and Trump wasn’t it, but someone like a Rubio could pick up a lot more votes here in 2028. |
PP here - 2024** not 2025 |
