Virginia Democrats are steamrolling Republicans with a gerrymandering scheme so obvious it would make even the most corrupt Chicago ward boss blush – and the GOP's response has been pathetically weak.
While Democrats brazenly redraw district lines to guarantee their stranglehold on power, Republicans are doing what they do best: filing lawsuits and hoping someone else will save them. Spoiler alert, Patriots – the courts aren't coming to rescue you this time.
The harsh reality is that Virginia Republicans are getting outplayed at every level. Democrats understand that politics is about POWER, not procedural complaints. They're not sitting around writing strongly-worded letters or filing motions that gather dust in some judge's chambers.
Where's The Fight?
Here's what's maddening: while Democrats execute their power grab, the GOP establishment is nowhere to be found on the ground. Where are the door-knockers? Where are the voter registration drives? Where are the grassroots organizers mobilizing everyday Virginians who are sick of this corruption?
The American people didn't give Republicans control of Washington so they could watch state-level Democrats rig the game unopposed. President Trump didn't win a decisive victory in 2024 by playing defense and hoping courts would save the day.
"Republicans cannot use lawsuits as their only strategy to stop gerrymandering. They need be in campaign mode, knocking doors, and getting people to the polls," a frustrated GOP operative told The Federalist.
This source gets it. Politics isn't a courtroom debate – it's a street fight for the future of our Republic.
Time For Action
Virginia's gerrymandering fiasco should be a wake-up call for every Republican who thinks filing paperwork equals fighting. Democrats are playing for keeps while the GOP plays patty-cake with procedure.
The Trump-Vance administration is delivering on America First policies at the federal level. But if Republicans can't even stop blatant cheating in Virginia, how can Patriots trust them to protect election integrity nationwide?
It's time for the GOP to get off their backsides and start organizing like their political lives depend on it – because they do. Will Republican leaders finally wake up, or will they keep losing while Democrats laugh all the way to permanent power?
