All “yankees” except for one Cuban.

I don’t think Virginia (Cantor’s home state) is considered “Yankee”. They were part of the Confederacy during the Civil War. Have you heard Cantor’s Southern twang lately?
Yes, true. But that Virginia died when the federal behemoth really got rolling these past 50 years, and especially this last 15 years. Northern Virginia is the new Maryland, which, incidentally, was once considered a Southern state. I know there are still true Virginian Southerners, but they are being overwhelmed with Yankee carpetbaggers.
I used to live in Arlington, when I was at the Pentagon, in the late 80s, and even then that part of Virginia was growing by leaps and bounds, from Stafford to Leesburg, and all the way out Warrenton, with all three locations considered “Redneckville” only a few years before.
I left in 1991 to go overseas, and haven’t been back since. I wonder how much bigger it is...
Virginia WAS part of the confederacy. But it’s too close to D.C. and became part of the problem.
