[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I cannot believe that you all voted against Chap Petersen and George Barker. I mean seriously? People in SD-36 voted for useless SB member Stella Pekarsky and took out normal dem Barker. Barker didn't even do anything that the left would define as "conservative" yet he wasn't woke and annoying so he got the boot.

I do understand that Chap Petersen did things that many on the left deem "conservative" but in all reality Chap was a standard liberal who was essential in building up the Democratic party in Fairfax back in the early 2000's. I think the fact that he gave credibility to Republican viewpoints on Covid restrictions/masks in schools drove the local Dem apparatus absolutely insane and they were going to stop at nothing to defeat him. He literally had a "F" rating from the NRA and was backed by Clean Virginia but apparently him thinking that 5 year olds shouldn't be forced to mask all day in 2022 was a bridge to far.

Steve Descano won simply because of braindead white liberals who read Blue Virginia and convinced themselves that Nuttall was some sort of MAGA Republican. The Asian areas in western Fairfax rejected Descano while the white liberal areas voted for him.

NoVA used to have some amazing Democrats representing the area. They supported gay rights, the environment, and strong schools. They kept crime low and were not partisan hacks who spend all day on social media fear-mongering and yelling.

The reason many people moved to this area was due to the good governance and stable environment. The rise in crime and decline of the public school is sad to see yet it seems like a majority of NoVA voters support it for whatever delusional reason.

I miss the NoVA Dems of 2015 and the sane leadership they had. The Republicans can be nutjobs at times who I wholeheartedly tend to disagree with on certain issues. I voted for all the local Dems in 2019 and didn't think twice about it. I wrongly assumed they would govern like their predecessors.

I feel politically homeless on the local level right now and I am concerned about the direction Fairfax is headed in. Long gone are the days where good governance and moderate politicians ran things up here.

Maybe I am wrong about all of this, I don't know. How does everyone else feel?[/quote]
I’ve been here 30 years as a conservative and was always basically ok with things. From the Obama years on, things have gone to absolute hell, with [b]some rays of sunshine during the Trump years[/b]. I’ll be leaving for MA soon enough where even thought its blue, people are SANE[/quote]

One of those, huh?

Good riddance. [/quote]
