OK Readers; Let me hear your Views[and we can match history to our knowledge, later on]. The Rally went very well, at least one Va. Govt. flunky went into hiding for the day, and now the Rally is Past. The Question- will it make any difference in the Democratic Agenda for Va [and beyond}?

Personally, I have this belief that movements happen by tapping into an energy. If we look at humans going back over history there were tribal rituals, drum beating, bagpipe playing, that somehow energized people into a charge that in many circumstances was toward total destruction, others total victory. I don't think our psyche has changed as much as people believe. Therefore, I think this rally accomplished that in some way. The net result I think, a bad night for VA Dems in November. So many people did not vote in VA, either because they had no one to vote for, or pure complacency. This actually happened in FL in the 2016 election. In the Panhandle of the state, a reliably red area, turnout was not very good. A sense of defeat had already set in among people in the area.
