I'm on the leadership of our red-County, Virginia Democratic Committee and a contributor to our local Indivisible page. Since Virginia's fantastic Democratic election victories (control of both chambers), we have begun to demand that our local officials (all Rs) disavow Trump. They're in safe seats; getting off the Trump train now will cost them nothing politically. They admit privately that Trump is a criminal and despot. Such cowards.
IMO, if low level Republicans with nothing to lose don't start telling the truth, their fascists base will never see the light.
We're hitting that message - a demand, not an ask - at least once a week until these hypocrites decide to support democracy.
We're not just on FB, but writing Letters to the Editor of our local paper (we still have a local paper). Every one us must push this message wherever we're able to do so.
As much as I despise all elected Republicans, IMO, Wittman is better than Ben Cline (VA06), who is a clone of MAGA Mike Johnson. Cline is just plain stupid. He loves Newsmax and Gym Jordan, loves photo ops with farmers and HS students, and votes against rights and for fascism every time. Folks are working now to find a candidate to run against him. A tough ask in a 65R - 35D (at best) Congressional District.
We must run in every district, every city/ county council race. If we are in a safe blue district as I am, look around and see who might need help nearby. And thank you.
Your urgent writing and quotations are so profound that I must read them several times and think deeply on what I must do. Thank you for your leadership in challenging us to face these terrible realities.
Cline is an embarrassment. Wittman has been keeping his head down and hoping to fly under the radar. Until the new districts were drawn he seemed invincible. I’m supporting Herb Jones again in the election and hope to bring pressure to bear against Ole Rob.

Voter in the 1st here. Rob Wittman has so far been too slimy to pin down and demand answers. I look forward to that changing in this election cycle.
