It’s not the same state I grew up in. Like the Cold War Soviet defectors, I escaped to freedom in the West. Tell your daughter to do likewise. No reason to remain in a state where everything is controlled by carpetbaggers from New York and Maryland, residing in just three Northern counties: Fairfax, Loudon, and Arlington.
“...residing in just three Northern counties: Fairfax, Loudon, and Arlington.”
Minnesota, is surprisingly very much like Virginia.
Three counties (Hennepin, Ramsey and St. Louis) pretty much dictate how a statewide election is gonna go.
