Until the George W. Bush administration, Virginia was low crime, Republican and English speaking.
The destruction of NOVA was a direct result of the refusal to enforce laws and borders.
Immigration!
Obliterating America, one county at a time...
Ain’t it great?
My ancestors were in VA in 1683, traveled down the road from Staten Island...why did VA need any new “residents” now?
We all know why: get rid of the Americans by overwhelming them with aliens.
NoVA = The Red Communist Cancer of the Commonwealth.
I’m a Midwestern yankee, now living in the liberal cesspool of Maryland with a deep abiding respect for the southern culture.
Traveling to NOVA deeply sickens me when I realize the legacy they have squandered.
You can’t swing a dead cat without hitting a Civil War battlefield yet the area is deep blue northern.
Our daughter lives in the other enclave of insanity, Charlottesville. She’s one of three known conservatives in the city.
Sounds like California around 1995-2000.
Few more years and you will be hearing calls to kick VA out of the Union. At least from from Freepers.
I went to JEB Stuart HS. The drive to Fairfax was a gravel road from Annandale west. The Springfield I95/495 interchange was cow pasture where we would ride minibikes.
We moved away in 2001 and to go back, 17 years later, is like visiting a different world. Glad my kids aren’t growing up there.
Many here can’t stand the National Park Service (with some justification) and want to see it eliminated. I have to stick up for the NPS however because if it were’nt for them there would be almost no preservation of Civil War battlefields in Virginia and other places. The states have historically had little interest in preserving large battlefield areas. Virginia was one of the worst.
Ping!

I would draw a line from Leesburg to Dumfries, and everything north and east of that....going to DC....is just another entire state by itself and radically different from the rest of the state. Part of the problem is that you’ve had so many move up into that one region, and they adapt themselves into being DC-ites rather than Virginians.
For one of the summers (of the 3 years I lived in the state), I took several weekend trips around the state...particularly to the area around Meadows of Dan and Fancy Gap. You get out of the car and you feel like you are in a totally different state....different attitude, crime is no issue, and everyone has a true Virginia accent.
