The one thing we always had was cultural power in Virginia. People saw us as the adults. Now that dancing shithead and his army of schoolmarms are throwing it all away.
Our people live for process these days. They think everything is the Voting Rights Act. It’s not. This is catnip for white women but it doesn’t help somebody get a job or buy a house.
To succeed at governing, you have to be good with people without needing people. If you need people, they’ll eat you or leach you or screw you or you’ll do something stupid.
The neediest type of person is the one who needs to feel powerful rather than just having and exercising power. That’s Cuomo. He’d pull the wings off of flies to get a fix. But some damned fools gave him control of a large state instead.
Many people think toughness is the same as endurance or cruelty. It is those things, yes. But also more. Toughness is discipline. Toughness is seeing the bigger picture.

Virginia will be removing our universal indoor mask mandate for fully-vaccinated individuals tonight at midnight, consistent with the latest @CDCgov guidelines.
It’s simple: either get your shot, or wear a mask.
