This isn't the first time voters have resoundingly and unequivocally said they want and have expectations of "a change from the quicksand of business as usual that is the familiarity of daily existence". As a matter of fact every election since pro-segregationist and their massive resistance push against de-segregation took off their sheets and became Republicans, that has put Democrats in power, whether State or Nationally, has been that of voters wanting and expecting progress. A change in the daily organic familiarity of existence. In other words, even when voters didn't have the language to say it what their expectations held breath for is an accountable and transparent terms of The Social Contract, that not only needs but relays on the peoples faith and trust in the fact that in society The people are not the enemy but conditions are.
What we have come to understand is life's mysteries isn't so much about the doublespeak of Evangelicalism but its specifically about our political ignorances.What I'm talking about is that old provincial, "who you know and what you know" adage. What this translates into is simply this: We have voted in Democrats who are naturally inclined to do the right thing for us everyday folks. But what we cannot do is take for granted that Democrats will instinctively do the right thing as such we have to sharpen our focus and engage with those we voted for, constantly reminding them that reforming the Virginia Department of Corrections isn't aspirational but a fact that must be realized.
