The only thing that’s happening to Virginia is that the Beltway has become such a large urban sh!t-hole that its political influence is growing. Politically, the rest of the state probably hasn’t changed much at all.
Virginia was always red. All the government employees and lobbyists have made the property values and economy go up while turning the state blue. Just look at that punk governor and how the Senators turned out. I’ve said it before. Trump, if elected, should move the capitol. It’s a good way the put a stake in the heart of the political class. Move it to Detroit. Just how many of these upper class folk will relocate?
