COLUMN: Don't Believe the Media's Claim that Youngkin's Victory is a Rejection of Trump

REDPILLED Media Weekly Column

Do not be fooled by the outlandish lie now being made universally by the professional demoralizers in the media claiming that the total Republican victory in executive and legislative positions statewide in purple Virginia represents a rejection of President Donald Trump by the Republican base.

The Hill: “Youngkin shocker shows Trump isn’t needed to win.”
The Atlantic: “The Virginia Results Aren’t the Victory Trump Thinks They Are.”
The Washington Post: “Youngkin’s balancing act with Trump appears to pay off in Va. governor’s race.“

Most in the media are shocked that not only did a Republican governor win election in Virginia, but so did a (black, female) Republican lieutenant governor and (it appears likely) a Republican attorney general. Further, Republicans recaptured the Virginia House of Delegates. Democrats now retain only a “narrow 21-19 majority in the Senate, where members aren’t up for reelection until 2023.”

Virginia is commonly thought of by politicos as a bellwether for upcoming midterm and presidential elections due to the notable reality that in the year following each presidential election there is an election held for a new Virginia governor, with governors for the state being barred from consecutive terms. The media likes to extrapolate from the results of the election to predict upcoming trends, particularly in their application to upcoming national elections. This time around, news outlets are pairing the facts of Republican victory and relative absence of Trump on the campaign trail to paint a highly manipulative narrative alleging the plummeting electoral salience of President Trump among Republican voters. The contention is patently ludicrous and provably false.

First, almost needless to say, Virginia does not represent the base of the Republican Party or conservativism at large in our nation. Once home to the only European colony on the continent, the state has been at the national forefront of enacting toxic critical race theory curricula in public schools, which thoroughly reject the nation’s founding and history. A century and a half ago housing the capital of the confederacy, the commonwealth was in recent years the first to tear down statues of southern heroes in staggering numbers — a poisonous trend that has now swept the country. Still ranked first in producing most US presidents, Virginia is now a major hotspot for legal immigrant settlement and the accompanying solidifying of Democratic Party rule. The drastic liberal shift in Virginia politics from reliably red, to purple, to increasingly blue within the last decade alone puts into question whether the now quite-reliably Democratic state can be accurately used to imply future voting proclivities of the American people at the national level to begin with, let alone as a bellwether of Republican voters across the country; Though, inasmuch as a conservative Republican endorsed by President Trump himself and outspoken in favor of positions held by Trump supporters wins a large, upset victory in a blue state during a time of apparent liberal dominance in national politics, the very last conclusion drawn from the affair should be that Trump’s national appeal is dwindling.

And on the point of the Trump endorsement: Much has been made about despite receiving Trump’s public, enthusiastic endorsement, Youngkin opted not to campaign with the former president, and didn’t make Trump a focal point of the campaign. Political analysts are now using the fact of Republican victory without the candidate clinging to Trump’s presidency to tout the apparent loss of Trump’s influence in Republican politics. Rather, Trump was a major factor in the campaign on both sides. Whether Youngkin considers himself a Trump disciple or not, his Democratic challenger Terry McAuliffe at each and every rally invoked Trump endlessly, and tethered Youngkin’s candidacy to Trump’s presidency at every opportunity. In fact, Joe Biden named Trump 24 times at one of McAuliffe’s rallies — breathlessly comparing Youngkin and Trump dozens of times in a single speech to the point of visible senility. And for Youngkin’s part, he ran singularly on Trump’s main campaign planks of 2020: coronavirus restrictions and critical race theory education in schools, both of which are currently extremely resonant with the voters of Virginia.

During his presidency, Trump was generous with his political endorsements, using the bully pulpit to attempt to elect more Republicans across the country. This was largely unsuccessful, especially in the waning years of his tenure. Hypocritically, when Trump endorses a candidate and he loses, the media blares: “Is Trump losing his endorsement appeal?” Now, when Trump endorses a candidate and he wins, the media must change their tune to come to the same conclusion: The Trump endorsement is still meaningless, even when the endorsed candidate accepts the endorsement, runs on the Trump platform, wins, and so do all other Republicans up and down the state’s executive positions and across the legislative races. The claim is so fraudulent that all media outlets must emit the lie in unison.

Is anyone truly fooled by such an obvious myth? It appears so.

Some leftists might have been tricked by their own propaganda. Reported in the Washington Post, some Democrats have concluded that the solution to the loss in Virginia is to go all in on diversity politics, and “aggressively” recruit the young, blacks and women to run in future elections in an extreme left turn from the last moderate attempt.

Democratic officials and strategists said that to counteract unfolded in Virginia — strong anti-Democratic and anti-Biden energy driving the conservative base and suburban independents to vote Republican — the party needs to significantly improve its economic pitch, engage with young voters, voters of color and women under 50 far earlier and more aggressively than they have this year and renew efforts to recruit a more diverse slate of candidates.
[…]
Still others took aim at what McAuliffe represented — a 64-year-old White man, part of a more moderate Democrat party of the past that is now losing ground to a multiethnic, more liberal base.
McAuliffe’s profile may have worked during the early Trump years, some Democrats argue, but now, women and candidates of color are more likely to excite the base.

Virginia voters are not ready for this. Democrats will not win future elections with these antics. Perhaps Old Dominion is not fully lost after all.
