"For instance, Gillespie claims that Ralph Northam is one angry liberal who disdains us
looks down upon us
[pits] Virginian against Virginian, constantly trying to divide us. WTF? Psychological projection again? Not crazy enough? Gillespie also wildly argues that Ralph Northam has embraced a radical environmental policy (FALSE, unless you think that encouraging cheap/inexhaustible/clean energy, which overwhelming percentages of Virginians and Americans do, is somehow radical), wants to raise your taxes (FALSE, unless perhaps youre super rich), abandoned Virginias so-called/Orwellian right-to-work laws (I must have missed that
wish he HAD abandoned that one, though); etc. "
"Last but
actually, least, Gillespies overall vision is for Virginia to look more like states to our south (what, like Mississippi? Alabama? Louisiana? sounds great, huh?)."
