Norfolk voted for Zero 72% to 26% in 2012, hardly what I’d call Conservative. Only 3 places in VA voted more leftist than that: Petersburg (80% Black), Richmond and Charlottesville (White College Moonbat). Norfolk hasn’t voted Republican since 1972.
Well that’d at least be consistent with my brother, who although he’s a Navy vet is pretty left-leaning.
Norfolk is quite southern in its ways, though. Maybe not Alabama southern.
