You’re an idiot if you are unfamiliar with how non-southern northern Virginia is.
Really? Seems a lot of hate groups on NOVA based on this map below and one would guess they prefer things "the way they were."

Granted, now your governor is trying to abolish Lee Jackson day and join the 20th century. But your republican lawmakers are putting up a stink about that. They believe in celebrating your heritage. Try to separate yourselves from the rest of your state, but you can't. Virginia is the south and a large amount of your population celebrate the Confederacy. Especially this Friday! Go on an have a nice time. And for those of you in state jobs getting the day off, enjoy that free time because your Generals earned it for you.
Yee-haw!
Did you click on the Maryland map? You all have quite a few hate groups of your own.
That link shows 21 hate groups in Maryland and 39 (less than double) in Virginia, a much larger (way more than double the size) state.
Check your math:
6 million vs. 8.5 million

Maybe focus on the plank in your eye first?
I thought Dems just took the state legislature in the recent election, meaning, Rs controlled the state up till recently.
Also, MD is still controlled by Dems, much to the disgust of many moderates in MD. I guess you've never read any of the MD local politics threads.
As for the R governor in MD, he is a moderate, but if he ever suggested we celebrate a figure that is shrouded in racism, he'd get flamed and voted out.

So typical. Some refute the existence of the holiday, many attack the OP, and others deflect to alternate facts about Virginia. The Republican blood runs through your veins. Your Republican state politicians support this holiday as part of your state heritage. There are parades and speeches this Friday. Attack and deflect all you wish, it's your destiny to continue to be the deep south.
And way to get cracking on the ERA! Rest of us approved that 40+ years ago. Again, welcome to the 20th century.

? Frederick County MD? I had not heard that. Frederick is becoming bluer; the center of Frederick is blue.
What is kind of funny is that west virginia invited frederick county to join their state.
I'm actually ok with the rest of virginia turning into a new state and leaving NOVA as "virginia"

Fixed that for you.
Anyone who celebrates the confederacy is a fool.

I grew up in Virginia (born in 1980) and have never heard of this. So if it was something they did in Richmond, it certainly never made it's way inside the Beltway.

I grew up in NOVA and never heard of it til I lived in Richmond in my 20s, and even there it was not taken seriously. Pretty sure the people lobbying hardest to keep it on the books are state employees who don’t want to give up a holiday, but couldn’t care less about Lee or Jackson.

I’m sorry, but the SPL Center has jumped the shark. That list includes multiple “radical catholic” organizations as “hate groups”. Gimme a break!
Sounds about right to me.
