What does "total power" mean anyway?
It doesn't mean anything. Its part of a sensationalist headline by a fake news site that exists only to inflame right wing NPCs. It needs more exclamation points at the end of it. I'm not sold on just the 1.
While everyone was watching the gun bills, the Virginia governor snuck through these communist bills
Didn't happen. No proof, no references, just a claim that that's what happened. None of these bills have been passed. Fake news at its basest.

Total Fail.
No references? Where did you get that list? Oh right, the list referenced in the article. The laws were introduced, as the article said as everyone was focused on the gun control debate. Nothing said they passed. These are all real bills/laws they are currently trying to implement. The only thing fake is your claims that it didn't happen.

http://lis.virginia.gov/cgi-bin/legp604.exe?201+cab+SC10108SJ0006+SBREFLets not focus on the totalitarian power grabbing nature of these bills, what is important is if you look at this in a very overly specific myopic way, this might be interpreted as "fake news". The fact that they are trying to pass these laws is meaningless of course ans should be totally dismissed.
