"Virginia is no longer considered my home state I just exist here...."
Back when I was a teenager, my Dad took my two young nephews—his grandsons (visiting NC from Virginia) to our local ice cream shop. At the time, the boys were divided on whether they liked Virginia or North Carolina better.
So my Dad asked them if they wanted a 'Virginia' ice cream cone, or a 'North Carolina' ice cream cone. The older boy ordered the North Carolina ice cream; while his younger brother insisted on having the Virginia cone. When they came back with their order, the older boy had two scoops of ice cream on his cone; while the younger one had only a single scoop! 😲🍦😁
What they didn't know was that my Dad had quietly taken the shop proprietor aside ahead of time, and advised him to make the "Virginia" ice cream cone smaller, lol. 😄
(If you're out there reading this, David, then hello from Aunt J.! Waves )
But seriously, we all like to be proud of where we live; and it hurts when we see our local (or state) governments making poor decisions which will negatively impact the quality of life for everyone (whether they realize it or not). Have you thought about "voting with your feet," as the saying goes?
If that's not an option, my heart goes out to you. ❤🩹 We were crushed when radical Democrat Roy Cooper first "won" the NC gubernatorial election here--and that by only one quarter of one percent of the vote; then four years later got re-elected over conservative Republican Dan Forrest. Thankfully now he's on his way out; but it's been a long, hard road.
That's one reason we rejoiced with Virginians when Gov. Youngkin first got elected! (and over a very important issue—school choice) 🥰🏫🎒🏡 The important thing is to not give up--keep sharing our views and our values with those within our sphere of influence; and most important of all, keep voting ! We must set an example; and we must not lose hope. 💖 Remember, "If God be for us, who can be against us?" (Rom. 8:31).

@brp5497 When law enforcement officers are trained to recognize counterfeit money, they do not study all the different ways counterfeiters replicate bills. Instead, they learn what the genuine article looks like, so thoroughly, so that when they do encounter the fake ones, they know instinctively that "something is wrong with this..."
And so it is likewise with spiritual truth. 🙂
"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made. In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it." (John 1:1-4, NKJV).

@Cdub1717 "you live in an echo chamber"
That's what an old friend once insisted. If I'd had the opportunity, I'd have explained to him—complete with extensive evidence and documentation—that it was rather he who was in the "echo chamber"-- it was just so large and imposing that he didn't realize that his thoughts and beliefs were the ones being manipulated, controlled and 'contained' by the world's system.
But you see, he lived in Trini—the influence that the globalist, Marxist 'machine' exercises is worldwide, you know—and unfortunately he doesn't live anywhere now; since he died of a heart attack sometime after our political discussion (disagreement) took place. 😢😞
Evidently he felt so pressured by his employer, his government (or whatever) that he had tried to change the mind of a resident voter of another country less than two months before the U.S. election. It wouldn't have worked, because as a progressive religionist (sadly that's what his once vibrant faith had deteriorated to), his worldview was derived from a faulty foundation that was significantly different from mine. But I would give virtually anything to have the opportunity for just one. more. lonnnng, leisurely online conversation with him... RIP, Dave. 🪦💐

That's what a young black woman pastor told my husband and me, many years ago, in so many words (but without the "d" expletive you used). It took us a long time to figure out why she was so triggered. I guess b/c their church was in an economically-depressed neighborhood (not our usual congregation--we were just guests there while visiting out-of-state relatives)—she felt we didn't "belong" and was subtly letting us know it. 😕
It's sad that she blamed others for the run-down state of her own community, though. Perhaps if the churches there would quit making excuses for their local residents (including some church members) drug-dealing, destroying property, stealing, mugging, gang activity, dropping out of school, worshiping gangsta rap "artists," fornicating, disrespecting their elders, burning and looting local businesses, murdering, etc., they would be happier, self-respecting, more self-sustaining and a credit to their communities.
