But nearly every day I meet someone who has moved here, like I have, except they think there’s no reason the VA state govn’t needs to balance the budget (not understanding that’s why business moves here, because of the stability), or that we need stronger gun laws, or all sorts of other things that are antithetical to what has made Virginia great. It’s especially sickening when these people are from California or Chicago, and are trying to bring the same ideas that have destroyed those areas to such a great area. People today, especially my 20-30′s generation, don’t understand consequences of actions, and don’t respect how different actions in different states have led to different results. It’s infuriating when all these blue idiots move down to red states and say “hey, let’s destroy this state too! cali was way too much fun!”

If I were dictator for a day, I would make a law that reinforced state identity and the 10th amendment. It would allow people to continue to move and live anywhere they wanted, and they would always be allowed to vote in federal elections regardless of where they moved, but for the first 3 years of residence in a new state, they would not be able to vote in any local or state elections. They need to do their time for the first three years to understand their new state, the culture of the state/community and how things are done there, before they are allowed to influence any kind of change.
