By DMV, do you refer to the entire state of Virginia? If not, what constitutes ‘Northern Virginia’, is it the degree of suburbanization or northern transplants? There was a time just 45 years ago when Fairfax County was still culturally very southern, and even today parts of Northern Virginia (ie. Western Loudoun and Prince William, Fauquier, Stafford etc) that feel very southern. Sure many places with northern transplants may not accept these cultural memorabilias, however it is the heritage for many generational virginians even today.

Exactly what part of Prince William county feels "very southern?"

Western Prince William around the battlefields, 5-10 minutes outside of Gainesville, anywhere close to the Fauquier county border, bristow and nokesville outside of the immediate city just to name a few.

Lol, you just mentioned exactly where I am (you can ask Jeff to see where my IP address is from.) It is not at all "southern" feeling around here.

Where are you from that you've never heard of the DMV?

I’ve obviously heard of the DMV, just wanting to know where the border is and where it becomes ‘allowed’ to fly the flag as PP mentioned. Does the V in Virginia spread all the way to the NC border? Richmond? Fredericksburg? Sterling?

I'm not the PP at the top, but it's "not allowed" anywhere in civilized country.

Confederate flag?
Legally acceptable, yes. Socially acceptable in the DC area, mostly no. And I say this as a Southerner.

Sigh. It is allowed everywhere. You may get shunned, people may (rightly) call you a racist or worse, you may lose friends. But it's perfectly legal.

I assume you live in Bristow, because Nokesville especially towards Catlett feel very southern and is very rural. Bristow, depending on the address location has some suburbs with many transplants. I assume you are not referring to around to the battlefields, because those are obviously preserved to be historical landmarks of the south. Regardless of where you live it feels much more southern than Maryland and even Fairfax County.

Where is the DC area? Sure you’ll get a few eye rolls if it were in Arlington or Fairfax but if you get out to where I live around Purcellville and even Western leesburg, it’s normal and representative of our heritage.

You have no idea what you are talking about. Rural does not necessarily equal "southern." There are rural parts of New England, the midwest, the Pacific northwest, etc. Bristow does not have "suburbs" Bristow is not even a city. It's not even incorporated and falls under Prince William county for government services, as does Nokesville and the area around the battlefields.
You think National park service preservation of battlefields makes an area "southern" in culture? So Gettysburg, Pennsylvania is "southern" too?

I say rural only because at least in the dc area if it is rural you are no longer in northern virginia. I just mentioned rural to indicate that there are not many northern transplants and suburbanization, and thus it remains ‘southern’ as even northern virginia was historically southern before suburbanization. When Fairfax County was still semi rural in the 1970s and 80s, everyone still had southern accents. I only mentioned the battlefields to show that the preservation of the battlefield and it’s regulations add to the rural and southern feel of the area.

There are a of nasty gross Trumpers in Purcellville because of fundie college, but almost all of them are transplants, not natives.

There are TONS of transplants. I am a transplant. My next door neighbors on both sides are transplants. The majority of people I meet through my kid's school or just around my neighborhood are transplants.
How many decades has it been since you've even been in western Prince William?

So you believe "people won't like it" = allowed?

You're an idiot. Take some time to reflect where your life went wrong.

Western loudoun is almost entirely natives. Looks the demographics of round hill and towns like hillsborough and lovesttsville, theyve all been losing population or maintaining around the same number of people as the last censuses. There’s a reason why we’ve had the same lone high school for the last century, except for when wood grove was built compared to the dozen high schools in transplant land eastern loudoun.

Huh?

Fairfax semi-rural? Yes. Southern accents? Hardly.
