I agree.
At this point Virginia and West Virginia have completely different identities. It would be a doomed marriage.
Better to let the southern, rural counties keep the name Virginia and let the few blue counties go their own way.
We’ll keep our flag, motto, statues and heritage.
They can put up statues of Lenin, Stalin, Mao and Nat (murdering scum) Turner if they like.
