Republicans in Reston?

[Anonymous]

Reston is the Takoma Park of Fairfax County. Ultra-liberal. Surprised they have allowed so many businesses to move in and all of the development. Guess they like the tax revenue...

Trump was impeached, so there is the first and second in a loooong list of constitutional violations

I have plenty of friends who were Republicans when I met them.

But they don’t support evil and unconstitutional acts, so they don’t support Trump.

It says something about you as a person to support Trump

Please list every unconstitutional act and the article they violate

They've been going to court to get Article II, Section 1, clauses 2 and 3 ignored and now that they've failed you have presidential advisors pushing for Marshall law

This is so false. Have you been to TP? Have you been to Reston? Two completely different areas.

If they were referring to politics, the areas are very similar. Heavy liberal bent toward both.

Bethesda and Potomac also have a "heavy liberal bent" if you just look at election results. But it doesn't mean either are as left as Takoma Park.

Equating Reston and Takoma Park just makes you look like an uninformed, unhinged rightwing moron. Policy and tone matters.

Wow, so going through the judiciary for dispute resolution and considering the possibility of exercising existing laws are all unconstitutional. Nice.

I thought that honor went to the People’s Republic of Falls Church City, politically speaking

I really liked Reston when we lived there. We lived in a small TH near North Point. Great place with young kids.

Reston is a complete inigma, in my opinion. Very liberal politically, but has major business development projects, corp headquarters etc amongst its streets. Generally libs don't love corporations I guess is my point, yet the buildings keep going up.

Well, the residents may be liberal politically, but Reston is an unincorporated area so it falls under the management umbrella of Fairfax County and Virginia, both of which are not nearly as liberal as, say, Arlington, Alexandria, or Falls Church. If you want to see what real liberal policies and governance does to a suburban town, take a look at Herdon. There is nothing happening there other than strip malls. I've lived in both Reston and Herndon, rented in the former, and owned a home in the latter. I have fond memories of both, but Reston is unquestionably better than Herndon in terms of development. Another good comparison is Vienna, also a town with very liberal local governance and characterized by ugly strip malls, decrepit commercial buildings, and a general lack of new development. Compare this to where all the development activity is occurring: Tysons, Reston, Merrifield, Springfield, and the Rt1 corridor north of Ft Belvior.

At least in Reston they do allow their children to play with their less privileged neighbors- unlike some rich progressive areas where "Hate has no home here" but neither does anyone without gobs of money.
Reston was developed as a progressive experiment in mixed housing with green space and hidden retail and infrastructure so progressive neighbors should be expected there. The idea is ethnic and economic diversity but idealogical unity.
I am always thankful to get home from work to my more culturally diverse walkable neighborhood with a mix of ethnicities, religions AND political viewpoints.

It's a monolithic mindset where they come after you if you challenge them but they think they're progressive. And the entitlement never ends. It's a bizarre mix.

It's mostly elderly people who vote republican.
