I spend a lot of time in NoVa. There were a surprising number of Trump signs. Fairfax County, especially. Post-election, I see almost nothing, for Biden. No flags, no bumper stickers. I routinely see people with MAGA-themed adornments, on their cars.

Loudon, though, has gone insane. Especially the situation with the schools. I’m around a lot of younger people, and all of them are fucked, in the head. A lot of their parents were the government contractors who moved in, 10-20 years ago, and drove up real estate prices, to where only the very wealthy could afford anything. Then, the wealthy vote, as they tend to do.

It isn’t part of Virginia, it’s not even a part of the south. It’s a giant cocktail party for swamp rats.

Honestly I want the area surrounding DC and its suburbs to secede and leave the rest of us out of it. So many people south of DC resent how much NoVA dominates our politics with an air of unearned importance in regards to us plebs from outside the Beltway.
