"Competitive Authoritarianism in America...Judged by the eleven criteria the authors devised to score 35 regimes in their earlier research, the U.S. case is comparable to Hungary under Viktor Orbán, if far softer than 1990s Russia or Serbia. " bluevirginia.us/2026/10/frid...
Competitive Authoritarianism in America (“The United States crossed the line into competitive authoritarianism during Donald Trump’s second presidency: Elections remained real, but incumbents systematically abused state institutions to tilt the playing field against opponents. The administration weaponized the Justice Department, the FBI, and other agencies against critics, universities, law firms, and the press, while national gerrymandering and coerced corporate money skewed competition. Judged by the eleven criteria the authors devised to score 35 regimes in their earlier research, the U.S. case is comparable to Hungary under Viktor Orbán, if far softer than 1990s Russia or Serbia. The new regime is unlikely to consolidate, however: The United States’ vast countervailing power—its wealth, private sector, and civil society—dilutes authoritarian abuse and makes redemocratization by electoral turnover likely. Yet turnover would not mean democracy survived intact. Opposition parties do win unfair elections, and a restored U.S. democracy will remain unconsolidated until both major parties commit to its defense.”)

Fairfax Democrat Chris Ambrose on Brittany Dunn-Pirio, who is runnign for Fairfax Commonwealth's Attorney next year: "An impressive record of service, working for Mark Herring and Joe Biden, and she was willing to put her career as a federal prosecutor on hold to stand up to Donald Trump. Her record includes prosecuting fraud, corruption, and domestic violence—work grounded in accountability and justice. She knew she had no place in a Trump DOJ.
She’s also a fighter, with a long history of Democratic activism—from supporting Al Gore to Delegate Marcus B. Simon.
She is an experienced prosecutor who brings compassion, integrity, and energy to the job. It’s time for fresh thinking, new ideas, and competent management—delivering justice, earning trust in the community, and moving Fairfax forward.
Brittany Dunn-Pirio for Fairfax Commonwealth's Attorney is just what Fairfax needs."

What's really amazing - and depressing - is how many liberals, progressives, Democrats, democrats, etc. understand how bad the "mainstream" media is...and treat the "mainstream" media accordingly. bluevirginia.us/2026/09/satu...
scary lawyerguy: "The media demanded think tank level specifics from Kamala Harris while the best Trump can come up with on one of the biggest foreign policy issues in the world is "it's, you know, fine. It's just moving along." One of the reasons I have ZERO sympathy for reporters right now."

"Media organizations refuse to mention WHY these things are happening. The omit context b/c it might offend Dear Leader."

Far-right-extremist/insurrectionist Rep. John McGuire (R-VA05) also welcomes accused sexual predator "Gym" Jordan with open arms. Oh, and of course the "chaos" McGuire mentions is 100% coming from TRUMP/MAGA. bluevirginia.us/2026/09/rep-...
"Thank you, Congressman Jim Jordan, for joining me on the campaign trail in Virginia’s 5th District, including right here in Powhatan County!
This midterm election is clear: common sense vs. chaos.
Republicans secured the border, cut taxes, and reduced crime.
Democrats would reopen the border, raise your taxes, and increase crime." - Rep. John McGuire (R-VA05)
