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.

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.

I wouldn’t step foot in Florida much less move there.

Well considering that the majority of Americans did not vote for Trump I don’t see how declining to be impressed by some uggos (inside and out) is some sort of travesty.

It must kill you Trump won the popular vote and the Reps flipped the Senate and held the house. It makes me happy you console yourself with obtuse statements like “the majority of Americans” while ignoring the reality of “the majority of voters.”

The majority of voters did not vote for Trump.

“Harris would not necessarily have benefited from higher voter turnout
When asked how they would have voted, people eligible to vote who did not do so were fairly evenly split in their preferences: 44% said they would have supported Trump, while 40% said they would have backed Harris.”

“As a result, if all Americans eligible to vote in 2024 had cast ballots, the overall margin in the popular vote likely would not have been much different.”

I don’t get why you are lying? The majority of voters in the 2024 election voted for Trump AND data shows he still would have won with greater turnout.

Sorry, Arlington is way too educated. You have to travel much farther out to find that much stupid.

It’s telling you used “educated” instead of “intelligent”

DP. Because there’s available data on a given population’s level of education

+1 If PP was educated, PP would know this.

+2

It’s no wonder why MAGAs are anti-education.
