ABIGAIL SPANBERGER’S CREEPING APOCALYPSE
The most extreme visions of an apocalypse usually depict it as a sudden, irreversible event. Think of a massive asteroid hitting Earth, a virus that spreads rapidly with no immunity, or nuclear threats on the horizon.
When it comes to a political apocalypse, Abigail Spanberger is akin to one of Homer’s sirens. She lulls the voters into a slumber, slowly creeping in, her exterior seemingly warm and human but hiding a core that erodes our institutions from within.
Initially, there was some optimism surrounding her election to Congress. In a closed meeting with fellow Democrats, she notably criticized the “Defund the Police” movement as “stupid,” warning it could cost many their jobs.
However, that initial stance seemed merely cosmetic. Having a CIA background, she understood the importance of appearance over substance; outcomes were secondary to how things looked. If the goal were genuine reform, there were less toxic ways to communicate it.
“As a former federal law enforcement officer who worked alongside local police, Governor Spanberger strongly believes that violent criminals illegally in the U.S. should be deported by immigration authorities. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) should obtain a signed judicial warrant to ensure these criminals are removed,” she said.
Yet, this statement came just as she sought to block local law enforcement partnerships with DHS, in a context that echoes “sanctuary” policies. The requirement for a judicial warrant complicates the deportation of violent offenders, adding an unnecessary barrier.
What’s crucial here, I think, is that many people remain unaware of these finer points. Spanberger pushed through legislation for Virginia’s redistricting, potentially undermining the votes of roughly 45% of Republicans in the state. This new map could alter Virginia’s political landscape from a 6:5 Democrat to a 10:1 ratio.
“This is the work of the legislature. We have the opportunity and the duty to respond to efforts to alter maps nationwide…” she remarked.
She also emphasized it was a “temporary” solution, a response to the current political landscape. However, the timing raises eyebrows given the circumstances surrounding the midterm elections, as if trying to preempt any Republican gains.
Moreover, she signed legislation that could hand over Virginia’s electoral votes to states like California and New York. SB322 would mean that if the popular vote diverges from the electoral college outcome, Virginia would forfeit its votes based on the democratic choice of those two states.
This essentially disregards the foundational design the founders implemented against the tyranny of majority rule (happy birthday America!).
She expressed, “I think this is a clear, long-term plan aimed at ensuring every citizen’s vote carries equal weight.”
Your vote holds the same value—unless, of course, it gets drowned out by fraudulent ballots from states lacking stringent voting regulations. Who really keeps track anymore?
This is just a few months into her tenure as she prepares for a national campaign in 2028. The Republicans need to catch on quickly; they must resist her narrative and those of similar colleagues. A lot of us seem resigned to complain without taking action against the existing system.
If not challenged, figures like Spanberger, with her background, could insidiously dismantle everything.
And when she’s done, she might just drape America around her like a second skin.
