It’s easy to shit on West Virginia now, but at least they were formed by splitting from Virginia in favor of abolishing slavery. That’s pretty cool in my book.

West by God Virginia. I spent a lot of time there reminding people we fought for the north.

You mean the birthplace of the labor movement where the US government used artillery on stinking miners?
The current government sucks, but the history has some truly glorious and revolutionary moments.

I’m not saying it’s necessarily a bad thing, I’m just saying eventually, all that will be left of Virginia will be the Delmarva peninsula and then Maryland will claim it.

Woah, I never realized Virginia had a detached peninsula like Michigan

It’s imaginatively called “The Eastern Shore of Virginia.”

Delaware is going to take over the whole peninsula with Joe Biden leading the way. It’s all part of his evil scheme to have Delaware take over the entire Mid-Atlantic region.

“Listen, Jack. No foolin’. We take over the peninsula and the trains will be great.”
