re: #264 HappyWarrior

What I’ve observed here in Va is a lot of the multi-generational and likely more conservative individuals resent liberal NOVA because a lot of us are transplants or in my and my parents’ case the children and grandchildren of them. I’m a Virginian but I definitely still do identify with Pennsylvania a little.

Yeah, a lot of resentment of “carpetbaggers”, even after two or three generations.

At the risk of making a sweeping generalization, Southerners are very tribal. If your family isn’t from the South back several generations, you’re not really a Southerner. You’re worse off if your family came after the War ended.
