The election in VA and NJ were MUCH more about local issues then Biden, AOC, Trump, etc. Youngkin still lost Loudon County where most of the culture war stuff was being driven. However a lot of parents who are already pissed at school closings, mask mandates, supposed CRT flipped to vote for Youngkin.
I do agree with Frank this county is more center, although I say center left. Weed is being legalized, gay marriage is normalized, etc. Dems will be idiot if they continue to push defund the police, woke socialist agenda.
However I do believe paid family leave, free 2 years of community college are NOT "socialist" "Marxist" ideas.
