This. The governor of Virginia comes from the eastern shore of Virginia, I think Northampton County. I grew up in Wicomico County (MD). The eastern shore of Virginia was considered to be really backwoods.
Check the rates of kids going to college. They are really low.

Face it, VA is stuck in the past. Google the list of antiquated VA laws still promoting segregation.

This. Virginia is part of the deep south.

And you clearly failed geography as a kid.

Both states have their issues.

MD, seriously, don't pretend your shit don't stink. The area I grew up in was well known as a HQ for the KKK.

I went to kindergarten in Bowie. I clearly remember the music teacher coming and and we sang "Dixie" in kindergarten.

I grew up in NY and we sang Dixie in school there too. Not sure that means anything.

I'm recalling my Dukes of Hazzard lunchbox in Kindergarten with the Confederate flag emblazoned below the General Lee. This was in CT in 1982.
