They destroyed Virginia. I moved here in the early 90’s to get the eff away from the freakshow. I wanted to own a firearm, live on my own property, drive a vehicle not held together by duct tape and bondo and living paycheck to paycheck.
That was Virginia for me.
Now after almost 30 years, we’ve planned an exit because the democraps just gerrymandered the entire state to lock out the ex-burbs and rural areas from the decision making process.
Now, at work and school functions all I hear are people/parents complaining about native Virginian’s attachment to the civil war and desire to own guns and drive trucks and bemoaning the lack of authentic pizza and bagel places.
I envy you. You got to live in a relatively free and sane Virginia for 30 years. I have lived in Calfornia my entire life.
I admit that California was free and sane until about 1990, but it has been 30 years since year, each year worst than the last.
My dream was to live in Virginia. In 2002 I went to apply with Virginia DOT and they were having a hiring freeze, or I would have moved there in 2002.
My retirement dream was to retire to Virginia. The Rats have now killed that dream with the death of the Commonwealth.
While you have my utmost sincer sympathy for having to live through the destruction and collapse of your state into communist totalitarian tyranny, I still grieve for myself that I never even got the opportunity to live a single year in free, sane Virginia.
Count yourself lucky.
I am STILL seeking a new state to live. Seriously considering Tennessee or South Carolina, but both are at risk of flipping blue now that commie states like New York and California are emptying out. Their commie liberal residents are now flocking to states like Tennessee and South Carolina.
I is likely I will end up in a state I don’t like but have to live in to avoid them. Something like South Dakota or Idaho. I hate snow. Maybe Alabama will stay red for the foreseeable future. I mean, I would hate to move to Myrtle Beach only to have South Caroline flip blue 5 years from now.
Puke.
Liberals destroy everything they touch.
Yup. Virginia is gone. If we could get D.C. to annex the eight northern counties and the detritus from the Fedgov things might improve but not otherwise. We’re looking to move out as soon as work permits.
