Virginia is going to be harder and harder for us to take. The federal government now has so damn many workers and lots of them live in Northern Virginia.
Trump may not be the most hardcore small-government POTUS we’ve ever seen — I may very well be wrong, Trump Corporations don’t seem to carry too much extra flab — but if he is, a lot of those federal workers will be looking for greener pastures by the time he’s done. Maybe enough to make Virginia viable again.
I'm hoping against hope Trump will begin trimming the gubmint so there isn't such a glut of Federal employees. MAGA would include growing the economy such that those people could work in the private sector. In such, they might be enlightened as to why we are conservatives.
Admittely VERY long term goal.
