As someone who was raised here, I can assure you it is far from a lost cause. There’s a cancer that has taken a stranglehold over our state known as the federal government. A huge portion of the Virginia economy is based off contracts that rely on the federal government’s infrastructure to function.
I am convinced Dominion and its ilk has been fucking with our state for at least 15 years. My congresswoman miraculously won her race despite the Republican having 60% of the vote with 99% reporting. Came down to 21,000 absentee ballots. Did I mention she’s former CIA too?
That area and the cities (Richmond, Charlottesville, etc) outside of NoVA do not help either. The suburbs and the rural areas are furious at what is happening to our state. Hundreds of thousands of people protested Governor Blackface’s gun control. We were peaceful despite the entire nation looking to us to scapegoat.
There are people here who resent that our history is being bastardized by DC transplants with no history or stake here. It’s infuriating.
