[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So far VA continues to reassure me that the inmates have not yet taken over the asylum. If/when that happens, we are out. That fact that but for NoVA the commonwealth would be a red state is still very unnerving though. [/quote]
There are strong areas of blue everywhere. Richmond, Norfolk, VA Beach, hell, Dems may still win HD-41 in rural VA. When Dems contest every seat, we force Rs to compete. I canvassed in some very rural places. Sane people are widespread throughout the state. Please don't be a NoVA snob. [/quote]

+1 to this.
-Richmond native.  Nearly every single one of my Republican friends and family in the southern half of the state are also Southern Baptists or non-denominational, Bible thumping evangelicals.  There's more association there than just "rural".  [/quote]

I’m born and raised in Richmond. Everyone I know is Episcopalian and are either GDI or moderate Republican (who did not hold their nose and vote for Trump). They’re not bible thumping, they’re not evangelical and they aren’t laser focused on abortion being the center of society politics so to them all this attention on it is ridiculous.

You can put lipstick on a pig, or a fleece vest, but it still turned out to be a pig. They’re not voting from Trump this time either, if he’s on the ballot. They know 15 weeks is code word for 6, and they’re not voting for that either.

Maybe south of Petersburg, but not in Richmond in the numbers you’re implying. [/quote]

Let me guess: West End?  
Notice I said my "[b]Republican[/b]" friends and family.  Those that are still Republican and haven't changed parties are, with the exception of 2 (my parents, unfortunately) all either Southern Baptist or Evangelical.  All the other former Republicans I know down there are exactly that: FORMER Republicans.  Trump and MAGA have turned them off of their party.  Even the rural ones.  Dobbs was the last straw.[/quote]
