It's not just that.
Virginians voted for Allen once for the House of Representatives, twice for Governor, and then a third time for the Senate. It was on his reelection to the Senate that they rejected him over the "macaca" word.
I think this was a LAAP-dog media dry run for their agitprop gaslighting psyops that they run all the time now. They tried it with the Dan Rather "fake but accurate" Texas Air National Guard story about President Bush in 2004, but it failed. This "macaca" story about Allen worked in 2006. Then it was "Palin is stupid and uneducated" in 2008, Romney hated dogs and had "binders of women" in 2012, Trump/Russia in 2016, and Trump/COVID-19/Ukraine/impeachment in 2020.
The people of Virginia knew all about Georg Allen, but they let the Washington Post manipulate them anyway. They chose that goof James Webb instead, and then threw Webb out for Tim Kaine in 2012 (who then ran as Hillary Clinton's VP in 2016).
You can see the direct straight line from the Allen "macaca" story to Virginia turning blue today. We'll see if the election of Glenn Youngkin and the rejection of Terry McAuliffe is a sign of a change back going forward.
