My suggestion would be for Northern VA, DC and Central MD (Montgomery and PG Counties) to merge into a new state; the rest of VA could join with western, northern MD and the MD Eastern Shore. I think residents of both of the new states would be pleased.
“the rest of VA could join with western, northern MD and the MD Eastern Shore. I think residents of both of the new states would be pleased.”
The Dems would throw a hissy fit. They’d basically lose Virginia’s two senators. They don’t care about accurate representation and other nonsense like that (not like the Republican party is much better given the candidates they tend to endorse). Residents, to them, are pests.
Your idea makes way too much sense to be adopted by anyone involved with the swamp ... I mean that as a compliment!
Absolutely, would be a beautiful 2 for 1 trade, only better if it would gerrymand the I95 corridor to include Baltimore in the new state.
Best of all, it would shut up the fools who haven’t a clue as to why DC is a “District” and not a state.
